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]

Holland will likely not serve a day in jail. !!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT THE HELL KIND OF JUSTICE F….ING SYSTEM IS THIS???
WHERE IS THE LITTLE MONKEY?
THIS IS ATTEMPTED MURDER FOR F…ING SAKES!!!!
SHE NEEDS TO BE FLUSHED TO OBLIVION!!!!!
I agree with Kerry get some judges with BALLS!!!!!! THE JUSTICE SYSTEM NEEDS A COMPLETE OVERHAUL AND NOW!!!!!!! SOME LAWMAKER GIVE THIS LITTLE MONKEY HIS JUSTICE!!!!!!
PLEASE Minister, don’t allow these heinous and heartless acts to continue ! Being of Welsh ancestory
Wales is better than that.
I hope the monkey has been rescued and is now safe in the hands of a SANE person. What kind of court system allows the idiot who did this to to the monkey off so easy. Do you want a so-called “person” like that out there in society? I doubt society wants her out there.
THIS IS A SIGN OF A “MURDERER” MUST BE SEVERELY PUNISHED,,,,IMMEDIATELY !!! DANGEROUS TO ALL INNOCENT ANIMAL’S…….
This woman deserves the maximum penalty. That poor sweet baby. I found an article online that said that the monkey “is now living at the Monkey World rescue centre near Wool, Dorset.”
What the Fu—- HUMANS are worthless!!! You have pedophiles in prison use their damn asses! Companies should be fined millions for torturing animals.. worthless bastards..
Wow, she admits to abusing the monkey, they know she’s done very disturbing things to the monkey previously and she still has the monkey and gets a half-assed slap on the wrist for this? This is why people don’t think twice about abusing animals, there are no real consequences for doing horrible things to defenseless animals and this proves that and it also proves that in Wales the justice system does not care about doing the right thing. Shameful, embarrassing and disgusting. Put her in jail and confiscate the monkey.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU JOANNE!!!! I ALSO THINK IF THE LAW WAS AN EYE FOR AN EYE FOR ANIMAL ABUSE YOU WOULD SEE HOW FAST IT WOULD STOP!!!! MAKE HER DO COCAIN TILL SHE OVERDOSES THEN FLUSH HER DOWN A TOLIT!!!!
The marmoset is safe now at Monkey World in Dorset.
Of course this is attempted murder and Justice [what very little there is of it] MUST stand up and put a stop to all this horrific human behavior!! TIME TO STAND UP AND BE ACCOUNTABLE JUSTICE SYSTEM!!!!!! REMEMBER THAT THESE HUMANS ARE A DANGER TO ALL LIFE ON THIS PLANET!!
Could we know at least what happened to the poor animal? Is it in safe hands now?
The marmoset is now at Monkey World in Dorset where it’s recieving proper care – thank goodness.
Stick her head in the toilet until she drowns
This woman is human garbage and so is the judge who decided not to punish her. Laws preventing animal abusers from owning or possessing animals and REAL punishments should be passed and applied to this b*tch. Anything less makes the justice system look like play school and a complete joke. Quit sending the wrong message, take control… do what’s morally correct and punish abuse! People care and the world is watching what you do.
What happened to the Monkey??? Is he SAFE??????
STREET JUSTICE COME ON WALES GET OUT OF THE DARK AGES!!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO BARBARICALLY BEAT THIS PSYCHOPATH INTO SUBMISSION IF YALL DON’T HAVE MODERN MEANS TO LOCK THAT CUNT UP!
Down the drain with that b.tch !
I as a signer of this petition, I would greatly appreciate that petitioner advise all of this condition of this precious baby. I feel that is owed to us as this sadistic bullshit has got to be avenged!!! I pray this beautiful animal has been immediately away from this pos that needs to flat out be killed for ever doing such an atrocity! Do be so kind as to let us all know the safety of this animal has taken place! We sign these petitions because we want the maximum punishment given to the perpetrator of these heinous crimes, yet at the same time, our hearts go first and foremost to knowing the welfare of the animal/s involved!!!
For God’s sake, what is this world coming too. This woman needs to be locked up before she harms another animal or human. The Animal Welfare Act is apparently useless unless it is enforced. Come on Great Britain, don’t stand for this type of behaviour.
At least take the poor little monkey away from crazy bitch, she will kill that defenseless baby, I am so disappointed that she will not be punished severely.
This POS woman should spend many years in jail. She is clearly mentally ill, which is NO EXCUSE. I hope the innocent marmoset is now safe and getting the love he deserves.
This isn’t justice – This is NOT an example of a fair Judical System.
Does not make any sense. Commit an act like this and get a mere slap on the wrist.
And we wonder why animal abuse CONTINUES in so many countries.
The Judical System doesn’t care about animals.
Such a shame.
I am deeply upset…..
🙁
Was verdammt noch einmal seit ihr für eine beschissene Justice? Ihr gehört selbst eingesperrt,die alte Misgeburt Holland gehört erschossen, jeder Tierquäler gehört auf den elektrischen Stuhl, es gibt so viele Monster. Diese armen Tiere werden brutal misshandelt und bekommen einen klaps auf die Finger.
Her Skanky ass belongs in jail. Shame on the judge for giving the bitch just a slap on the wrist!
Life long ban on owning pets and animals.
