Target: Nadine Kuniko Nakamura, Speaker of Hawaii House of Representatives
Goal: Punish individuals who harm and kill animals to fullest extent.
A Hawaii encampment has become the scene for a series of disturbing assaults against defenseless dogs. A puppy was shot in the spine at the encampment. The young dog – whom rescuers named Pretzel — later underwent spinal surgery. While Pretzel survived, another puppy who had been shot in the same area weeks earlier was tragically not as fortunate.
Recently, yet another dog became the victim of cruelty in Kapolei. This canine was older and blind. He endured more than a dozen BB shots in various parts of his body, leading investigators to believe the dog may have been used as target practice. In a possibly related incident, good Samaritans rescued four puppies from this area – all of whom will be rehomed.
Authorities are searching for suspects, and animal welfare advocates have called for stronger animal cruelty laws in the wake of this serious string of cases. Sign the petition below to join their pleas for urgent reform.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Speaker Nakamura,
A series of highly disturbing shootings and other abuses of puppies and dogs recently took place in Kapolei. Since these incidents unfolded in roughly the same region, authorities fear a serial animal abuser may be at work. When and if this case is solved, what will happen then?
Animal lovers are pleading for more stringent statewide animal cruelty laws. Please take up their cause and send a decisive message that these heinous crimes will not be dismissed nor tolerated.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

THESE APALLING PERPETRATORS MUST BE CAUGHT ASAP AND HAVE THE BOOK THROWN AT THEM AND RECEIVE MAXIMUM PENALTIES FOR THESE DISGUSTING CRIMES!!!

PLUS A PERMANENT BAN FROM ALL ANIMALS IN THE FUTURE!!!!!
I sincerely hope the authorities apprehend this despicable individual and ensure he faces appropriate punishment. It’s clear that we need stronger animal cruelty laws to protect vulnerable creatures from those who harm them.
To the person responsible, “shame on you.” Living in Hawaii, I was appalled to hear about this incident, as it hadn’t reached my ears until now. But I know the word will spread rapidly in Kapolei. To my friends and ohana, let’s stand together against such cruelty.
