Target: Candice Hooper, District Attorney of San Benito County, CA
Goal: Prosecute animal abandonment case that led to death of small dog to fullest extent.
Last year, dozens of chihuahuas were mysteriously abandoned around Hollister, Missouri. The case raised questions about how and why the animals were left and prompted renewed discussion about the responsibility pet caretakers have to their animals. A similar situation recently unfolded when a chihuahua was dropped off overnight at a pet shelter in Hollister, California. While this Hollister is in another state, the same basic questions and debates remain.
The latest case, tragically, did not have a positive ending. The abandoned chihuahua was reportedly in such bad condition that the animal had to be euthanized. This type of incident is not new for the shelter. Just a few months prior, a suspect allegedly confessed to abandoning nearly two dozen dogs at the Hollister Animal Shelter’s overnight kennel. The person in that case faced a criminal citation, and the incident involving the chihuahua should be no different.
Sign the petition below to demand appropriate charges be filed when the party responsible for this deadly and neglectful act is identified.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Hooper,
When the Hollister Animal Shelter discovered 23 dogs at its overnight kennel in recent months, the operation had to remind the public that abandoning animals is unlawful. Unfortunately, not everyone got the message. The shelter recently found another small dog in its kennel, and this animal tragically died because of poor health. The only way to begin preventing future acts of passive and lethal cruelty is to send a decisive legal message.
When a suspect is identified in this latest case, please pursue the maximum possible charges. Help stop another vulnerable animal from dying in vain.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

This small dog had to be euthanized?? The people who did this should also be charged for not trying to heal this dog!
I totally agree with you. The laws are a joke
Yes, it seems if there is no profit involved, these lawmakers become weak.
The best most constructive way to defeat animal abuse is to join and support PeTA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, it is the biggest and most effective Animal Rights and Welfare organisation in the world , with most dedicated staff.
Concuerdo contigo totalmente!!!
Coward, murderer, bastard, I hope your death is the cruelest possible.
Instant KARMA would be ideal – an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth – there’s nothing like Biblical retribution for those so-called God-fearing monsters who murder animals.
God’s justice will have no mercy on you when you die, you fucking coward!
What an ignorant, souless, evil person, leaving a poor defenseless innocent puppy abandoned – Karma will get you sooner or later!
Again and again we see the effects of weak laws, poor prosecutions, and soft judges. Being soft on crime defeats the purpose. This abuse is a felony in most states and needs to be the same in all states. Prosecutors must do their job even if the abuser is a teenager or younger. If they know right from wrong they can be tried for their crimes. Families need to held accountable too as violent events are noticeable to parents. There are so many shelters available but these people don’t look for shelters, they look for pain to others and animals, or 15 minutes of fame? The way these monsters are let off the hook means this will continue but the buck needs to stop here and now!!!
Justice for these innocent babies!
THE BASTARD WHO DID THIS NEEDS TO BE EUTHANIZED!!!
hope the person has a sad ending disgusting people
This fucking piece of shit scum needs to be shot!+++
And, I am happy to help
👍
all funcking animal abusers should be killed…….
There will never be justice for these animals until a whole lot of laws are changed. The current laws a so weak and useless that it does not deter these heartless bastards from doing what they do.
Fuck’n scumbag piece of shit, the person responsible should be beaten and killed!!! Places are so quick to euthanize animals before trying to help them and heal them. Treat them like family like humans!!! Sorry for the abuse you went through little one. RIP!!! 🙏🏼🐾🙏🏼
Doesn’t the animal shelter have cameras? Anyone who dumps their animals should be facing felony charges with prison time, them we may see a drop in animal cruelty. Yes, some states have felonies in place for animal abuse, but it’s up to the judge to enforce it and we know that’s a joke . Weak judges and our judicial system is pathetic as we all know innocent animals are abused on a daily basis by evil, heartless scum and they get away with the usual slap on the wrist. Every state in this country should have laws in place and carried out to protect the voiceless, innocent from subhuman brainless trash.
Maximum charges.! There should be a ZERO animal cruelty tolerance policy ALL THE TIME EVERYWHERE!
There is no mercy shown to these sweet innocent beings…so show NO MERCY in return!
R.I.P little one 🐾🐾 may the ingrate that did this to you suffer intensely 🤬🤬🤬
Animal cruelty punishment needs to be much more severe! These POS abusers need to be thrown inside a dark cell with the keys thrown away!
I will never understand the cruelty of some humans …😢
EUTHANIZE this satanic human monster. NO MERCY!!
This chihuahuas’ life was worth more than the life of this satanic evil monster!
WTF is wrong again with people – this bastard that dropped off this little dog needs to have his life ended right now. There are way too many bleeding hearts that come up with every excuse to justify what these f*ckers do to these poor animals. I don’t give a shit about how their life was growing up, what problems they had then and now – blah, blah, blah – but I care 100% about what is done to these animals. This abuse will never ever stop until the laws deal in a harsh manner with these f*ckers. A bullet ends the cycle so quickly – this is what this one needs.
Just poison themselves (India people)
