Target: Ben Butler, Cass County Prosecutor, Missouri
A tragic incident of suspected animal cruelty occurred in Belton, Missouri, when 32-year-old Amory R. Hilliard reportedly shot and killed a dog. According to court records, the shooting took place outside a home on Chestnut Street. The motivations behind the reported shooting remain unclear, but it is alleged that the dog did not belong to Hilliard and the shooting did not occur at her residence.
After reportedly failing to appear in court multiple times, Hilliard was eventually arrested and re-charged with animal abuse and illegally carrying a concealed weapon. This is not the first time Hilliard has had legal issues, as she has previously been charged with drug trafficking and possession.
The loss of this innocent life highlights the importance of prosecuting those who commit such cruel acts against animals. With over 20,000 reports of animal cruelty made to Missouri’s Animal Cruelty Task Force annually, it is essential to ensure that justice is served in cases like this. Take action now.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecutor Ben Butler,
I am writing to express my concern regarding the case of Amory R. Hilliard, who is charged with animal cruelty for allegedly fatally shooting a dog in Belton, Missouri. This tragic and seemingly senseless act of violence should not go unpunished, and justice must be served.
Animal cruelty is a serious offense that not only endangers innocent lives but also reflects broader societal issues. It is essential to send a clear message that acts of violence against animals will not be tolerated. Hilliard’s past legal issues further underscore the need for strict legal action in this case.
I urge you to ensure that Hilliard is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for this crime. The death of this dog is a tragic reminder of the importance of enforcing animal cruelty laws and holding those responsible accountable for their actions.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
