Target: Tim Spencer, Roanoke City Prosecutor
Goal: Ensure consequences for individuals accused of fatally neglecting their dog in Roanoke.
This petition arises from a heart-wrenching incident in Roanoke, Virginia, involving alleged grave neglect of two dogs. Two individuals reportedly left their dogs in a parked car under direct sunlight with temperatures soaring close to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Tragically, this apparent act of negligence resulted in the death of one dog due to heatstroke. Such appalling circumstances demand immediate attention and action.
Further details suggest that the couple is now facing a felony count of animal cruelty and a misdemeanor count for their actions. Additionally, the Roanoke police intervened, rescuing two more dogs from the couple’s home. These developments, including the apparently distressing footage captured by a witness, paint a grim picture of the situation. This incident not only reflects the supposed cruelty endured by these animals but also raises urgent questions about the need for stringent animal welfare laws and their enforcement.
Tragically, in Virginia, there is no Good Samaritan protection for animals. This means that if a bystander sees an animal trapped in a hot car, they are not permitted to break the window to save the animal.
It is time to demand thorough legal action against the accused to send a clear message about the severity of such neglect. Ensuring justice for the deceased dog and protection for all animals from similar fates is paramount. Urge the Roanoke City Prosecutor to take decisive steps in this matter.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear City Prosecutor Spencer,
This letter is an urgent appeal for justice in the distressing case of a dog’s death due to alleged severe neglect by two individuals. The couple reportedly left their dogs in a vehicle under extreme heat conditions, leading to the tragic death of one dog. This act, which could be construed as a blatant disregard for animal welfare, is unacceptable and demands your immediate attention.
The emotional impact of this case on the community and animal lovers everywhere is profound. It highlights a dire need for strict enforcement of animal cruelty laws to protect innocent lives. The community’s trust in the legal system hinges on the outcomes of such cases, and it is crucial that justice prevails.
We urge you to pursue the maximum legal consequences for this couple, under the charges of animal cruelty. Such action will serve as a deterrent to others and reinforce the message that animal neglect and cruelty are serious offenses. We trust in your commitment to justice and look forward to your decisive action in this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Damn autocorrect : they should be LOCKED in a cage –
Amend that a bit.
Locked in a plexiglass cage under a blistering hot sun with no way out. No water…. even just for 15 minutes to see what they put their pups through.
There is ABSOLUTELY no excuse for this😡
This sounds like pure stupidity at its finest ! What kind of idiots do this to an animal’s I pray they don’t have children!!
Charge the idiots to the fullest degree of the law and never allow them to have animals again !
Why are people saying this?? There’s NO JUSTICE WHEN IT COMES TO THE DAM LAW!!! LAW DOESN’T SEVERELY PUNISH THAT THEY SHOULD!!!
I TOTALLY AGREE.
you cannot cure ‘stupid’ I would like to return the favour to this idiot.
These bastards needs to die the same way!!
Get laws in place now!!!!
Good Samaritan law or not I could not have stood there and watched a dog die a horrible death like this. I would have broke a window and paid for the damn thing to be replaced. I hope this couple get all they deserve.
I totally agree with you.
The only thing that I would pay for is watching these stupid ‘non-caring’ bastards suffering the same fate.
Standing watching the pricks screaming and shouting to be let out would be music to my ears whilst the bastards ‘fried’.
Am I psychotic ??
Well no, only when it comes to any of these animal torturing and abusing tossers who are just a waste of space anyway and would be much more use to the world if the arseholes were DEAD.
Did I really mean that?? Of course I bloody did!!
My thoughts exactly. If they somehow really had no clue how severe the heat could get, hopefully they would be thankful someone was willing to save the dogs by breaking the window.
Idiots like these two brainless arses WOULD have a clue but could not give a toss. “Oh dear” the bastards would say, “Now we will just have to get another dog”.
These two pieces of shite really need to be ‘mob taught’ as they have torturously killed an innocent animal and apparently could not give any thought to the situation whatsoever.
Well the stupid buggers must learn the hard way as it is the ONLY WAY they will understand.
As I keep saying, the useless ‘Non- caring’ Judicial system is a total waste of space so we have to do the pricks job for them!
Vigilante power must come into force to teach these animal torturing and abusing bastards that it really DOES NOT PAY!!
J.W.
Our planet is inhabited by millions of desensitized and dehumanized sadistic psychopaths. Signing petitions against animal abuse on a daily basis, gave me a glimpse into a world I didn’t know existed! A world of horrific bestiality and the worst ANIMAL TORTURE imaginable!!!
MAX JAIL for this DESENSITIZED, DEHUMANIZED, DEMENTED and PATHOLOGICAL LOWLIFE SCUM! These innocent and loving dogs deserve JUSTICE. Please, seek the maximum punishment. A slap on the wrist is a MOCKERY of animal victims.
I totally agree!!! BUT ALL THE JUDGES ARE WEAK ON “ SEVERELY PUNISHING “ Evil Demon Being’s Who Are Torture And Murder of Innocent Animals…..
I think they should be
Locked in a car out I. The desert and what ever happen tough shit!!! Low life scum!!! Yes take all the animals away are you kidding???? Then take everything they have away leave them with Nothing!!!! Maybe they will starve to death?? Ass wipes
Irresponsible assholes .. DO NOT DESERVE to have pets of ANY TYPE!!! The only way to teach these pricks properly is to make them endure the very same treatment they gave out
These “EVIL DEMONS” Must Be Punished By The Same Very Treatment Way They Act Upon That Innocent Dog….
There is NO excuse for this! Would be overjoyed to see these two get the exact same treatment….Imagine taking your last breath in a HOT car!. Damn you.
Save all the animals and find them safe forever homes! Ban them for life and make them pay for all medical expenses etc.
The Good Samaritan law should be in place EVERYWHERE. WHY THE HELL WOULD IT NOT!
LOCK these 2 CRUEL AND ABUSIVE IDIOTS IN A LOCKED CAR IN THE EXTREME HEAT & MAKE THEM SUFFER THE EXACT TORTURE DEATH AS THRIR INNOCENT DOGS SUFFERED!!PRISON CELLS ARE TOO GOOD FOR THESE 2 CRUEL AND ABUSIVE IDIOTS!!!!!
Agree with you. Let them suffer the same way. That is justice.
PASS the Good Samaritan Law NOW!!!
This is so extremely sad and disgusting!!!
Those poor innocent dogs!!!
Never let these diots have animals, make them do community work and pick up trash like the garbage they are! Fine them and jail time!! They suck!!!!
THEY NEED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF TWO INNOCENT HELPLESS DOGS!!! PROSECUTE THEM AND LOCK THEM UP FOR MURDER AND KEEP THEM AWAY FROM ALL ANIMALS!!
I HOPE ANYONE THAT SEES ANY DOG OR HUMAN DYING IN A HOT CAR WOULD BREAK THE WINDOW TO SAVE A LIFE!!!!
Just wish the judges would man up and sentence those cruel and abusive idiots! Until they do something to stop it then it will continue.
So true!!! Until we have judges that will step up and punish these people it will continue! They should not be a judge if they can’t do their job!!! We should start doing Eye for an Eye, I bet that would make them think twice before they would hurt an animal!!
Can’t people ever learn or is stupidity so ingrained in some assholes?? Don’t leave your dog in a car in warm weather! These two freaks deserve the same treatment!!
The only way to make cunts like this understand is to be beaten unmercifully by a ‘fired up animal activist Mob or vigilante group which might just knock some sense into their thick sculls.
There are ways and means to deal with arrogant bastards like these pricks.
I guarantee it can be done if planned out beforehand so there are no reprisals afterwards.
Power to anyone who feels the same!
J.W.
PleSe lock this couple in a hot car and leave them- same treatment. Good riddance
Damn a Good Samaritan law,that window would have got broken .No morally sound human could allow an animal to be harmed that way.The subhuman couple should have to suffer the same as those poor dogs.Shame on the city of Roanoke for the lack of protection and law.Do better!
THIS CAN NOT BE A HUMAN BEING BUT A DEVIL, A MONSTER. AND DEVILS SHOULD BE DISTROYED THE SAME WAY AS THEY DID TO THIS POOR DOG. NO MERCY.
Should throw these two shits in an oven and seal the door
THERE IS NEVER, EVER AN EXCUSE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. IF THESE FOOLISH IDIOTS DID THIS THEN THEY MUST RECEIVE PUNISHMENT THEY WILL NEVER FORGET. THIS NEEDS TOO HAPPEN AND NOW!!
IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE….NOW PLEASE DO THE JOB YOU TAKE THE WAGES FOR AND PUNISH THEM FOR THIS DISGUSTING CRIME TO, YET AGAIN, INNOCENT ANIMALS!!
ABSOLUTELY NO TOLERANCE TOWARDS ANIMAL ABUSE N CRUELTY. NONE 😡 THESE POOR ANIMALS THAT WERE DOMESTICATED BY HUMANS KNOW NOTHING MORE THAN THEIR TRUST IN HUMANS FOR THEIR CARE, WELL BEING N SAFETY. AND DEATH IS WHAT THEY GOT. THE WHOLE OF THE UNITED STATES NEEDS TO MAKE N PASS LAWS GIVING LONG PRISON TERMS AS WELL AS HUGE FINES FOR THE GROSS NEGLECT N DISREGARD FOR ANIMAL SAFETY. DOMESTICATED ANIMALS ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN A HUMAN DECIDING TO HAVE A CHILD. SAME RULES “MUST APPLY TO THIS ABUSERS” TIME AFTER TIME NO EXAMPLE HAS BEEN MADE TOWARDS THESE REPEAT AFFENDERS OF ANIMAL ABUSE N CRUELTY 😢😡 DO THE RIGHT THING N GIVING THESE INNOCENT SOULS A VOICE IN WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM. PAWS MATTER 🐾
