Target: George Eustice, Minister of Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Goal: Ensure woman who pled guilty to animal cruelty charges receives fitting punishment.
A woman in south Wales apparently made a habit of cruelly harassing and abusing her pet marmoset. A video shows Vicki Holland trying to force-feed the monkey cocaine and attempting to flush him down a toilet while he clings to it. She can also be heard yelling profanities at him. When the case was brought before the court, additional phone evidence was provided regarding further incidents with the monkey that were described as “very disturbing.”
Holland pled guilty to the charges. Despite her admission of guilt, the court handed down a meager twelve-week jail sentence, and then suspended the sentence. Holland will likely not serve a day in jail. Reportedly, she had previously received a suspended sentence for possession and distribution of cocaine.
This case appears to be a clear violation of the region’s Animal Welfare Act, but the tougher penalties supposedly levied for violations were completely absent. Sign the petition below to urge the department responsible for enforcing this law to launch a deeper investigation into this troubling case.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Minister Eustice,
When it replaced a previous animal cruelty law, the Animal Welfare Act was heralded as a needed reform that could prevent the “unnecessary suffering” of animals. A conviction is supposed to result when pain or suffering is inflicted cruelly and without good reason. Debate may result about what specific incidents meet this criteria, however, if a woman feeds her pet animal cocaine and attempts to flush him down the toilet, no rational person would dispute that the guilty party violated her duty of care and violated the very principles of the act.
Such an incident is not theoretical. It took place recently in south Wales, and it involved a pet marmoset. Worse yet, the admitted abuser apparently had a previous criminal record and a phone reportedly filled with videos of other abusive content. Most troubling of all is the fact that this suspect received a suspended sentence as supposed punishment. The Animal Welfare Act clearly states that you may intervene in matters if local authorities and legalities do not do their job.
Please utilize this power to investigate the case of Vicki Holland and ensure true justice is served.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Besides the owners of these poor innocents I blame judges without balls and vets who ask exorbitant prices for a simple spay or neuter also people who pay to see animals locked up in filthy roadside ‘zoos’ or animals abused for entertainment. Who’s never watched a rodeo or a horserace?
I fully agree with you!
Totally! Couldn’t have said it better. 2022 still goes on and on.
Totally agree with you.
Couldn’t have said it better.
Where is the Monkey???
Did he Live????
The woman should OD On Cocaine!!!
Most Of These Meager Asinine Laws are Nothing but Lawyers to protect These Criminals in cases of Animal Abuse.Justice Should he served hopefully through her own Karma
‘She’ is alive and has been relocated to a sanctuary.

THANK GOD! THANKS TO WHOEVER RESCUED THIS FUR-BABY. TO THE WOMAN? I CANNOT CALL YOU THAT. MONSTER? TOO GOOD. WHATEVER YOU ARE, MAY KARMA TAKE CARE YOU, SLOWLY. VERY SLOWLY.
When it comes to animal abuse and neglect the justice system is worse than pitiful. It’s not fit for purpose nor effective in deterring or punishing animal abuse. Animal abusers are just as dangerous to humans – the correlation has been scientifically and anecdotally proven but nothing ever changes. Evil “people” like this continue to get away with their crimes.
Twelve weeks in jail?! A drug abuser who also abuses animals is really not being punished at all. Why is breeding of companion animals even allowed anywhere? I realize it’s all about money but it is one of the stupidest money making schemes allowed. Roadside “zoos” are atrocious and teach animal cruelty. Human civilization will never truly advance until everyone, including law enforcement, learn how to truly punish abusers.
Hang the SOB!!!!!!
That sentence (lack of) is a complete joke. She will harm animals again. All pets must be seized from her immediately & never given back. She must spend 10 years in prison with no early parole, pay a $400,000 fine, and be banned for life from owning or going near any animals ever again. Real justice would be for her to be force fed a bunch of cocaine and her OD. She doesn’t deserve to live
WTF, this woman needs to be killed!
did he get rescued?
‘She’ was relocated to a sanctuary.

This bitch is a waste of oxygen! she needs to suffer a slow horrid death!
it is time now, enough with stupid people abusing animals cause they know nothing bad will happen to them. It’s so sickening, this photo of the little monkey in the toilet, his tiny hands fills me with rage, this is so wrong. Examples must be made. This stupid POS does drugs and takes her anger on little harmless animals, she must do time, we dont want disgusting people like that around us, around our kids. Shame on her !
Omg!! I can’t believe they didn’t give her real time in jail! What kind of a system is that?? That poor monkey. This woman is clearly an addict and very disturbed. She should never ever be around animals again. She’s a monster.
When, oh when when will people learn already? THE COURTS ARE USELESS – real justice will only be handed down when good people enforce it on their own. Animal abusers know the criminal justice is nothing but a joke and get away with their torture. Once people start hunting down the trash, such as this “woman” and enforcing real justice is when we will see change. We must do it on our own.
Vicki Holland is a despicable excuse for a human. If there was any real Justice in Wales she would be flushed down a toilet never to reappear. The horrific, terrifying abuse this poor monkey endured is beyond horrific. Shame on all involved who did not prosecute and incarcerate this monster.
THIS DIRTY ROTTEN LOW-LIFE DESPICABLE HEARTLESS SCUMBAG WOMAN IS MENTALLY DERANGED AND AN EVIL PSYCHOPATH MONSTER. YOU HAVE TO BE CRAZY – TOTALLY WHACKED OUT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO AN INNOCENT ANIMAL. SHE NEEDS TO BE IN JAIL FOR WHAT SHE DID. SHE INTENTIONALLY CAUSED THIS POOR TERRIFIED MONKEY MUCH HARM. SUFFERING AND TRAUMA. THIS IS INFURIATING AND UNACCEPTABLE.
Thank goodness the wee monkey is safe, but people who abuse animals need to be given custodial sentences, otherwise people think they can get away with abuse as there is no deterrent. Animals have feel hurt and pain the same as us…. So they deserve to be protected properly.
As for this woman, there are no words … sick, cruel and deserved to be flushed down a sewer to see what it’s like
This fucking cunt needs to die feed her at eight ball of cocaine and flush her fucking head in the toilet
Seriously? That’s all that evil woman received for torturing this helpless monkey? Wow!!!! The courts need to start taking animal abuse more seriously!!! More severe charges, including prison time and huge fines! Poor monkey. I hope he is now at a loving sanctuary!
