Target: Sim Gill, District Attorney of Salt Lake County, UT
Goal: Prosecute case against couple who allegedly tortured pet kitten to fullest extent.
Utah officers investigating a suspected illegal encampment received quite a shock when they encountered Justin Epperson and Emily Allred. The couple was inside their car, which reportedly contained narcotics. But it was the faint mewing sound apparently coming from the vehicle that most got the officers’ attention. Upon further investigation, they discovered the source of the noise: a duct-taped lunch container. The officers report that inside this small container was a six-week-old kitten.
Feces allegedly covered the small animal, and only her head was free from the object. Officers described the kitten as being in very poor health. She has since received treatment and is now reportedly making a remarkable recovery with her new name: Athena. Because Athena was seemingly a companion animal, any cruelty case brought on her behalf could be classified as a felony and carry prison time.
Sign the petition below to demand maximum charges in this disturbing case if the suspects are deemed guilty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Gill,
Justin Epperson and Emily Allred have been accused of imprisoning a six-week-old kitten in a small lunch container and endangering her life. The case grabbed national headlines and highlights the seriousness of animal cruelty cases. Utah state law has a provision for classifying these crimes as felonies if torture of a companion animal is involved.
If the evidence merits, please pursue the fullest punishment in this case and reaffirm that harm to any living being will not be tolerated.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

There appears there is no end to the heinous actions humans won’t take to harm animals, even baby animals.
This couple deserves no mercy. They were merciless with a kitten. With the narcotics in the car they probably have to answer to that issue. I hope you send them both to prison. If the laws don’t get tougher this will continue happening. If people really get hurt but eh law then this might stop. This type of person won’t hurt themselves by doing something that will land them in court or prison.
Of course the accused will bring forth all the pathetic excuses….but lets have justice for this innocent, abused kitten.Make sure this pair of low-life scum gets a PROPER punishment.
I’m in! If Utah doesn’t have the kahoonahs to give true justice, I’ll gladly volunteer my time and Karma bat.
Count me in!!
WHERE ARE THESE POS NAMES?!!
Yeah. The names should be published, as an all other crimes.
Lock them up, throw away the key. But make sure only their heads are able to move before you do so they can experience what that kitten had to endure for no reason other than that these humans enjoy cruelty. I hope they end up covered in their own feces for days sometime in their lives. Considering their habits that will probably be soon. I see a nightmare nursing home in both their futures.
Throw these two pieces of garbage in jail for a very long time. They don’t deserve to be in society. What a horrible, cruel thing they did to this poor kitten. I’m so glad they were caught!!
lock this shit up for good
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH… g

Justin Epperson and Emily Allred are both drug and animal abusers. Useless and dangerous to society and animals, please remove them from the streets and throw them in jail for as long as possible. Do not let them own or go near another animal again ever!
Thanks for posting garbage thier names.
Yes jail these two P.O.S. SCUM BAGS for a very very long time in the darkest of cells. Never to be allowed near another animal EVER.
I cannot believe humans are so cruel, you read this all the time and all they ever get is a slap on the wrist. When are these animal cruelty laws going to make a example of them and give all of them what they deserve .. thank God this baby was lucky to be rescued and hopefully live a happy and loving life. As for the pces of shit that did this i just wish ou could suffer the same as this baby taped up in a bag and see how you would feel you are a worthless pair .
These people belong in prison for many years on felony animal abuse and dealing drugs that harm and kill our children . It’s time to get in the face of government on all levels state and federal both that these people and all who do these heinous acts will serve very long prison sentences to protect our children and animals also . When people torture animals they will always torture and murder our children too. It’s high time the fat asses in our government got off their lounge chairs and get to work for the benefit of the people and animals for an eye opener or fire them all and get people who will carry out their duties for We The People .
Divine intervention and the cops being at the right place, right time will put these wrongos behind bars and away from animals and innocents for good, I hope! What a cruel, disturbed act.
No animal deserves to be the victim of DEHUMANIZED and DESENSITIZED SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS!! Crimes committed against defenseless animals are increasingly GROTESQUE because the punishment for animal abuse is not severe enough, and in many cases does not exist.
A slap on the wrist is a MOCKERY of animal victims, and also has a dehumanizing effect on our society.
These satanic pathological monsters must be severely punished, MAX JAIL or DEATH PENALTY! They must also be forbidden from coming near/owning animals ever again.
SET a PRECEDENT, and punish to the full extent of the law!
Punish these sick, evil b@st@rds to the full extent of the law. First, make the laws much tougher for these crimes inflicted upon innocent creatures. These poor excuses for human beings are a menace to society, so laws for such despicable cruelty need to be severe.
A lifetime of jail. These humans are a direct threat to all life on this planet! Justice it is time to step up and do the right thing….if you have been afraid of loosing votes, bonuses, political favor…whatever….then you are in the wrong job!! Justice needs responsibility, maturity, intention to ALWAYS do the right thing, and so much more!
I have no words already for the different madness that coming from the bastards torturing animals.
SIMPLE SOLUTION.
STERILISE THE COUPLE
Or remove them from the gene pool altogether…
A TRUE ANIMAL LOVER WOULD NOT WANT PROSECUTION FOR THIS HORIFFIC ACT. NO, WE WOULD LOVE DEATH TO THIS PRICK & CUNT ONLY AFTER MAKING THESE BASTARDS SUFFER HORRENDOUSLY. THANK GOD THIS POOR BABY SURVIVED, MAY NOT THEIR FUCKING EVIL ASSHOLE PEOPLE. BURN IN HELL AND DAMN SOON.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU AND OR JUST EXACUTE THESE LESS THAN HUMAN BEINGS SICK PHYCOPATHS NO MERCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When are we ever going to pass tougher laws and then carry them out against these p.o.s. and scumbags that abuse innocent animals. Lock these two up and do to them what they did to this poor kitten and throw away the key.
It’s a shame they both didn’t overdose with no narcan in sight, save society, animals, and small children from losers like them!
Sick jail time long time
Seems like there is no end to these sorry excuses for human beings. Punish them to the tull extent of the law. Thank you for posting their names. This needs to be done in all instances of animal abuse and cruelty, and the names need to be posted widespread across all social media platforms. God bless the little kitten.
