Target: Lee County, FL State Attorney Amira D. Fox
Goal: Give prison sentences to men who reportedly forced dogs to fight on a regular basis.
Police allegedly found 16 Pitbull mixed breeds with severe injuries locked inside cages with their own waste. Anthony Pew Sr. and Anthony Pew Jr. were arrested shortly afterwards. These suspects need to spend a long time behind bars if it is found they mistreated these innocent animals.
Investigators reportedly observed the dogs fighting each other through their crates and another one tearing up a stuffed animal. A dog trainer familiar with the case explained that such aggressive behaviors are taught. He further said that typically, owners will provoke dogs by doing things like beating and yelling at them. Besides allegedly observing the dogs being combative, authorities also claimed they found many items at two residences, such as treadmills, that are usually associated with training dogs to fight.
Luckily, all the dogs were rescued. However, for these dogs to be adopted, they will have to be taught how to not be contentious toward people and animals. Sign this petition to demand the people thought to be involved in this dogfighting ring be punished to the fullest extent of the law if they are found guilty of this animal cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear State Attorney Fox,
Anthony Pew Sr. and Anthony Pew Jr. were recently arrested for allegedly training and forcing dogs to fight. It is important they both be given prison sentences if it is found they were involved in this horrible act to better ensure other animals will be less likely to suffer.
Police claimed they found 16 dogs that had massive wounds inside cages with feces and urine. The dogs were reportedly trying to bite each other through their enclosures. Investigators further allegedly found items inside two homes that are mostly used to train dogs for fighting, including treadmills that these animals are forced to exercise on for the purpose of developing bigger muscles.
Although it is good news that all the dogs were found alive, they will not find loving homes unless they can be trained to display more amicable behaviors toward others. For these reasons, we demand you suggest the Pews receive lengthy prison sentences if it is found that they mistreated these helpless dogs.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Unacceptable. Why do we keep signing petitions when it’s plain as day people are guilty . People are caught red handed . Lock their ass up . Videos of people abusing dogs and other animals. I’ll keep signing for as long as it takes . But these useless pos people need locked up for a very long time .
Yes!! Well said. Once they get out of jail they should be banned from owning or being near pets plus fees and mandatory community service at shelters and local veterinarian clinics. They should absolutely HAVE to complete a minimum of 100 hours.
Very well and solidly stated.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!!!!!
Seriously..these people are so evil that that is the only way they can think to make a living. Well they need to be put in a ring with each other until the death.
PITBULLS MOSTLY GET THE SHORT END OF THE DEAL!.. NOW THEY MIGHT NOT GET A LOVING HOME UNLESS SOME ANGEL REHABILITATES THEM. THAT’S WHAT THESE BASTARDS DID. SO I WANT JUSTICE FOR THE PITS. JAIL THE Pews TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW AND FINE THEM AND USE THE MONIES FOR THE DOGS THEY CONDEMNED TO A HORRIBLE EXISTENCE!. BAN THEM FOR LIFE FROM EVER HAVING THE PRIVILEGE OF HAVING DOGS!
THE LAW AND ANIMAL WELFARE AGENCIES NEEDS TO DO BETTER TO STAY ON TOP OF THESE FIGHTING RINGS. MORE STRINGENT LAWS ARE REQUIRED!!!!! JUDGES TO YOUR JOB!!!
I HOPE IN JAIL YOU GET BEATEN TO A PULP UNTIL YOU DIE!!!!!
Horrible horrible family!! These men should be in jail, fined, do community work and never ever allowed animals again!! They are disgusting individuals with no hearts or empathy. Just think what they would do to a child, scary!! Keep them in jail as long as possible, please!!
Estos violentos,maltratadores y abusadores de animales deberían llamarse “basuras inhumanas” y habría que castigarlos de igual manera que ellos hicieron a estos inocentes perros!!!!
Lock these Horrible P.O S. MONSTERS up !!! These MONSTERS don’t deserve nothing, and not even the air in which they Breathe !!
PUNISH these MONSTERS!!
These poor innocent animals needs/deserves More Better Stronger Laws That Are Enforced !!!
Low life evil,pieces of shit who abuse animals and use them for their sick pleasure of dog fighting need prison time if found guilty. The dogs have been taken from these scum but who in their right mind would adopt them? Most likely all will be killed and those owners should be paying all boarding and medical needed for them. I’m sure the low lifes own vehicles and maybe property, so seize all assets and take care of the animals. I’m sick of the rampant abuse of animals in this country and these brainless, useless subhumans getting away with a slap on the wrist.
Those people need to pay severely for these despicable acts of cruelty.
Anthony Pew Sr. and Anthony Pew Jr are scumbag LOWLIFES that need to go to prison NOW! DO NOT ALLOW THESE SCUMBAGS AROUND ANOTHER ANIMAL AGAIN.
As far as I know this is a felony. Felonies are punishable with prison. Make an example of these men. There are no reasons for this and certainly no excuses. The law must act! Proscuters must do their job. Animals matter.
Life matters. Kindness and compassion matters. The rehabilitation of these dogs will be expensive but these two goons should be forced to pay for the rehabilitation, medical fees, and any other expenses.. Let these men suffer and be a source of what happens when you torture dogs and train them to fight. Please show no mercy as they showed no mercy for these dogs!
This type of animal abuse and cruelty towards “pitbulls” has go to be stopped!! This is what gives these dogs the bad reputation they have!! I have 2 “pitbulls” and they are the sweetest, most loving big babies. Dog fighters use these dogs to make money and to make themselves look “bad ass” to other criminal types. These dogs are shown NO mercy and are shot, electrocuted, drowned, hung if they do not show aggression or lose their fight with another dog. This has got to be stopped!! It’s barbaric and unconscionable, just like the criminals that fight these poor soul!! Pursue these ungodly criminals and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law!! Be the voice of these tortured “pitbulls” and put an end to these criminal’s lifestyle!!!
So sick of signing these things. So sick of the courts who let them of with a wrist slap. So sick of laws that are useless. Way past time that something was done about this violence.
Anthony sr and Anthony jr. are the worst type of human garbage. Those poor innocent dogs! Both abusers must go to prison. Maybe other inmates will treat them as they treated those dogs.
I agree with all the above comments. When will we have stronger laws in this country when it comes to dog fighting? So many of us sign these petitions, but the politicians don’t seem to care. These poor animals suffer and die for these illegal fighting rings. I wish that the authorities would make sure that if people are abusing dogs in this way, they would be jailed immediately. No more slaps on the wrist!
Could the editor of this Site tell us what he or she has done with this horrific case? Have they reported this case to the appropriate authorities?
LOCK ALL THESE CRUEL PEOPLE UP IN CAGES JUST BIG ENOUGH FOR THEM TO STAND UP IN WITH ALL THESE FECES AND URINE EVERYWHERE AND PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO MEDICSL ATTENTION FOR THE REST OF THEIR MISERABLE LIVES!!!!
Fry his ass!! Why are theses people getting away with torture & abusing animals??
Because society think animals are nothing.
The brain dead simpletons that are entertained by dog fighting need to either be shot or imprisoned forever.
they should lock these pieces of shit in the cage with the 16 dogs and hold back their food for a day or two and then set them loose and watch the skin fly. that’s what these scumbags deserve
The Pew’s should be jailed, fined and BANNED FOR LIFE from owning or having any animal in their care. They do not deserves animals. They are the worst kind of human….profiting off of the suffering of domestic animals. They are to be cared for by humans not abused.
Please bound these low life bastards & dump into the Florida Everglades to be croc food.
No jail or prison time
. Save taxpayers dollars and feed the wildlife!
Justice would be served!
