Target: Susan Lopez, State Attorney for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, Florida
Goal: Ensure those responsible for throwing puppies from a vehicle are prosecuted to the fullest extent.
In a recent distressing event, three 8-week-old pointer/hound mix puppies were reportedly thrown from a moving vehicle on a secluded road. This reported act not only endangered these innocent lives but led directly to the death of one puppy, named Paolo, who was struck by another vehicle. The surviving siblings, Luke and Leia, were left with both physical injuries and deep emotional scars, a testament to the brutality they apparently faced.
The Humane Society of Tampa Bay has taken a lead role in responding to this egregious act. They provided critical medical care to the injured puppies and have been vocal in their condemnation of this cruelty, highlighting the urgent need for justice. The community has rallied behind this cause, with actor Dave Bautista increasing the reward for information leading to the perpetrator’s capture to $7,500. This incident has not only caused outrage but has also raised awareness of the broader implications of animal cruelty and its potential link to human violence.
Take a stand against such acts of violence towards animals. Demand that those allegedly responsible for this appalling act be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Their alleged actions represent not only a grave injustice to the animals involved but also a serious threat to public safety. Send a clear message that our community will not tolerate animal cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Attorney Susan Lopez,
In a deeply troubling incident in Tampa, three young puppies were reportedly subjected to a cruel fate, thrown from a moving vehicle, with one tragically losing its life. This act of alleged cruelty has shocked our community and animal advocates everywhere, highlighting a dire need for justice. The two surviving puppies, now in the care of the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, bear the physical and emotional scars of this traumatic event, a stark reminder of the violence they reportedly endured.
The response from the community has been one of overwhelming support for the puppies and a unified demand for accountability. The increased reward for information leading to the capture and conviction of the person or persons responsible is a testament to our collective determination to seek justice for these innocent animals. We must address this act of alleged violence with the seriousness it deserves, recognizing the broader implications it has for societal attitudes towards animal welfare and the potential correlation between animal abuse and human violence.
We respectfully urge you to prioritize the investigation into this alleged act of cruelty and to prosecute those found responsible to the fullest extent of the law. By taking decisive action, we can not only provide justice for Luke, Leia, and the memory of Paolo but also affirm our community’s commitment to protecting the most vulnerable among us. We stand ready to support your efforts in any way possible.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Florida again? Naturally. I hope there was a camera involved and license plate? If not, good luck.I one pup which was killed is a tragedy but the other two might make it back from the edge and have normal lives? At 8 weeks they suffered horribly. If there are medical expenses these people need to pay. I hope they are found. Tax payers will be billed and pay but it should be these dirty pieces of slime who should pay for the injuries, n and death, they caused. This happens all the time and the thugs walk away. If they are teens then their parents need to answer and pay for damages. If they are adults they should go to prison and part of their punishment is to NEVER be around, own or have any animals for the rest of their sorry lives.
