Target: Robert W. Russell, Prosecuting Attorney for Johnson County, Missouri
Goal: Seek maximum legal consequences for individual allegedly responsible for shooting two pet dogs without provocation.
Reports indicate that two pet pit bulls were shot by a woman who admitted to firing at them despite no indication of aggression. One of the dogs succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds, while the other survived but required extensive medical treatment, costing its owner over $1,000, according to witnesses. The accused, Hannah L. Hoover, has been charged with animal abuse and faces up to a year in prison and a $2,000 fine if convicted.
The incident is deeply troubling, as the dogs were allegedly shot on sight without justification. The canine who survived seemingly suffered a gunshot wound to the chest, adding to the already tragic loss of the deceased pet. Animal abuse cases such as this warrant serious legal consequences to prevent future acts of cruelty and to ensure that justice is served for the victims.
Cases involving alleged animal abuse must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Sign below and demand authorities take decisive action to send a strong message that violence against innocent animals is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mr. Russell,
We are deeply disturbed by the case involving Hannah L. Hoover, who allegedly shot two pet pit bulls without provocation, killing one and severely injuring the other. The surviving dog reportedly required extensive medical treatment, placing an unnecessary financial and emotional burden on its owner.
The senselessness of this apparent act underscores the urgent need for justice. Animal cruelty cases must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law to ensure accountability and deter future acts of violence against innocent animals.
We urge you to seek the maximum possible penalty in this case to demonstrate that animal abuse will not be tolerated. Strong legal action will reinforce the importance of protecting companion animals and holding offenders accountable for their actions.
Sincerely,
[Your Signature Here]
