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]

Mettez ces déchets humanoïdes dans une minuscule cage, attachez-les et fermez-leur la bouche avec du ruban adhésif.
Laissez-les là pendant x semaines, sans leur donner à boire ni à manger. Laissez-les mourir de faim et ne leur donnez pas d’eau non plus, il n’y a RIEN à perdre s’ils tombent en panne !
THOSE TWO ILL-BORN DEGENERATE BASTARDS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED INSTANTLY FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
WE ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH CRAP SURROUNDING US
They deserve to be both punished the same way they tortured that poor fur baby. An eye for an eye. Maybe animals abusers are gonna think twice before torturing these innocent creatures.
Yes punish these pieces of degenerate human garbage the same way they tortured an innocent kitten!!!! Worthless waste of life!!!!!!!
I totally agree with you!
No mercy in this case, eliminating both on the spot would have been the best way to get rid of those two monsters
Sounds good! These animal killers should be prosecuted, charged a felony, and put in prison!! They waste oxygen!!
I’m sorry to hear what happened to this innocent kitten. Justin Epperson and Emily Allred are a couple of low-down, depraved people for abusing this fur baby. Their behavior is unacceptable and they should be severely punished. I hope Athena makes a speedy recovery and gets justice.
Deplorable!!! They need to be charged and punished Nd never allowed to even be in the presence of any animals!! Hope they rot in hell!
Sim Gill, District Attorney of Salt Lake County, UT
I can’t believe that those 2 pieces of crap are free waiting to go to trial – what a waste of time and money Let’s hope you will confine them to a life-imprisonment jail to rot for the rest of their miserable existence.
Thank you!
Sim Gill, District Attorney of Salt Lake County, UT
SO REFRESHING TO HEAR THIS…!!
Utah state law has a provision for classifying these crimes as felonies if torture of a companion animal is involved. YES IT WAS!!
Please please nail them to the wall….FELONY CHARGES AND LONG JAIL TIME. They will most likely reoffend. HOPE THEY STARVE IN JAIL!
The Lord’s grace little Athena…
Please sentence those 2 to a life-imprison institution – if they did this now, what else they will have the guts to do in the future?
Just when you think you’ve read the worst case scenario for some poor animal, you read this. Why???? What know earth would make 2 grown adults to do this to a kitten?? Drugs is NOT an excuse. These 2 morons need to pay seriously for what they put that baby kitten through. NO animal deserves that.
Seal these two in plastic!!! Leave wherever.
Utah state law has a provision for classifying these crimes as felonies if torture of a companion animal is involved.
I WONDER WHO CLASSIFIED THOSE CRIMES AS FELONIES AND WHO APPROVED THAT — THIS IS JUST INCREDIBLE AND RIDICULOUS – COULD YOU TRY TO CHANGE THAT?
They SHOULD be felonies!!!!! What’s INCREDIBLE AND RIDICULOUS is that you seem to approve of the torture of companion animals. What the ever-loving fvck is wrong with you?!?!!
Put these TWO CRUEL & ABUSIVE ASSHOLES INTO TOO SMALL CONTAINER AND DUCT TAPE THIS CONTAINER ALL OVER IT WHERE THEY CAN NOT GET OUT!!! PUT THEM EACH INTO 2 DIFFERENT TOO SMALL CELLS AND THROW THOSE KEYS AWAY NEVER TO BE FOUND AGAIN!!!
I GOT A FEW EMPTY RUBBERMAID STORAGE BINS IN MY GARAGE AND A WHOLE LOT OF DUCT TAPE THAT’S JUST SITTIN’ AROUND WAITING TO BE USED. IT WOULD COME IN HANDY FOR THESE TWO WORTHLESS, OXYGEN-THIEVING PIECES OF METHED-OUT TRASH. THEY’RE REPEAT OFFENDERS, TOO. CUTTING OFF THEIR O2 SUPPLY WOULD MAKE THE WORLD A MUCH BETTER PLACE.
I like the way you think!!
These two disgusting pos monsters should be beat with a steel bat! What the hell is wrong with them, doing this heinous thing to a baby?! Get them out of society!! I’m so glad the kitty baby is recovering.
WTF is wrong with people these days? They are more depraved and psychotic than ever. There HAS TO BE stronger cruelty laws AND enforcement as felonies. I personally think automatic death penalty in any case…
These two worthless monsters need to be thrown into hell-they don’t deserve to take another breath-such evil,thoughtless beings are dangerous to all animals and humans.
If this is the way these 2 monsters treat a defenseless baby animal, let’s hope and pray that these 2 sub-humans NEVER have sex and breed babies from each other – because God help those defenseless babies that they will birth and stuff into plastic containers (with or without their narcotics). It’s such a pity that they can’t be sterilized right here and right now. I wonder what sort of sickos their parents are, to have produced such sub-humans monsters?
Justin Epperson and Emily Allred should be sentenced to prison for the maximum under Utah state law. What they have done is classified as a third-degree felony and is punishable by up to five years imprisonment and a fine of up to $5,000.00. I hope District Attorney Gill seeks the most severe sentencing for both these abusers.
Lets start having PROPER punishments for ALL animal abusers and justice for ALL abused, tortured and killed animals. The whole justice system should grow a backbone and start to consider animal abuse as a heinous atrocity. Too many excuses are allowed, so rotten, vile, deranged, depraved, psychotic, low-life scum walk free.
STOP PAMPERING ANIMAL ABUSERS no matter what shape or form they come in!
How anyone can subject an animal to this sadistic cruelty is beyond us.These pieces of crap should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and thrown in jail for a long time. The inmates can take care of them.
