Shih Tzu Apparently Discarded in a Dumpster to Die Deserves Justice

Target: Ashley Moody, Attorney General of Florida

Goal: Ensure legal consequences for the individual allegedly responsible for Xyla’s cruel treatment.

An appalling act of animal cruelty has been reported in Florida, where a 16-year-old Shih Tzu named Xyla was allegedly found in a dumpster, discarded like trash. Captured on video, this incident appears to reveal a disturbing level of inhumanity. Anthony Bellman, 55, is accused of the heinous crime of throwing Xyla into a dumpster behind a Family Dollar store in Lehigh Acres, near Fort Myers.

Store employees, upon discovering a moving garbage bag, alerted the local Animal Cruelty Task Force. Inside, officers reportedly found Xyla, mostly blind, with a rope tied around her neck, barely clinging to life. This shocking discovery led to an immediate rescue operation, rushing Xyla to the Blue Pearl Pet Hospital for urgent care. The local authorities, recognizing the gravity of the situation, reported it as “intentional abuse.”

Such egregious acts of cruelty cannot be overlooked or minimally punished. They seemingly point to a disturbing disregard for life and the well-being of innocent animals. The suffering of an innocent, vulnerable creature calls for stringent legal action. It is imperative to ensure that the law holds individuals accountable for such despicable acts, deterring future incidents of animal cruelty. Demand that the responsible parties face the full extent of legal repercussions for their actions.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Attorney General Ashley Moody,

The heart-wrenching case of Xyla, a 16-year-old Shih Tzu who was allegedly subjected to abominable cruelty, demands your urgent attention. Reportedly discarded in a dumpster with her neck tied, in Lehigh Acres, Florida, Xyla’s case is not just another incident of animal abuse; it appears to represent a gross violation of moral and legal codes. Anthony Bellman, the accused, was reportedly caught on video in this act of callousness.

The details of this case, as conveyed by Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno, paint a chilling picture of the ordeal faced by Xyla. Found alive but in a dire state, her discovery and subsequent rescue highlighted a seemingly reprehensible act of intentional abuse. Such actions should not and cannot be dismissed lightly or without severe legal consequences.

We urge you to take swift and decisive action. The perpetrator of this crime must face the consequences of their actions to the fullest extent of the law. It is vital to send a clear message that such barbarity towards animals is intolerable and will be met with stern legal repercussions. We trust in your commitment to justice and the protection of the most vulnerable, including animals like Xyla.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

  1. PROSECUTE THIS SCUMBAG TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW AND HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL TIE ANTHONY BELLMAN AND PUT HIM IN A DUMPSTER. THEN POUR SULPHURIC ACID ALL OVER HIM. MAY N
    HE SUFFER THE SAME HORRIFIC PAIN THIS POOR INNOCENT DOG HAD TO ENDURE. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO MAKE ANIMAL ABUSE AND CRUELTY A FELONY…..PUNISHABLE BY DEATH! THAT’S THE ONLY WAY THIS BEHAVIOR WILL STOP.

  2. Hang the fucking subhuman!!!!!!

  3. HANG THIS IDJIT WITH CLOTHESPINS

  4. String him up and kill him. I will help.

  5. Anthony Bellman is a 55 year old man responsible for throwing away in a garbage container a 16 year old dog. A dog already showing signs of advanced age with blindness needing and relying on human care to provide them with love and medical care. But instead tossed away to suffer by this evil man. I can not even fathom how any human being could be so cruel. Heartless act of animal cruelty. Anthony Bellman needs to be tossed into a jail cell to suffer the same fate that he intended this little senior dog to suffer.

    • Sorry to disagree but this arrogant ‘non’ caring piece of shit needs terminating very painfully so that he realises what he has done will not be tolerated. It’s every day that some bastard somewhere is torturing, abusing and killing innocent animals the world over.
      JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN and they know nothing much law-wise will happen to them anyway!
      Well one way may start to make a difference as in I have mentioned before is if all animal people can form groups to ‘picket’ these so-called prosecutors, Judges, Lawyers etc, so they get to know that we mean serious business. Which, unfortunately would take time and the torture and murder of animals will still go on!
      Now the other way us a little more risky and can be carried out by one more determined people.
      Get to know where the pieces if shite live, where they go, (better at night) and deal with them as you wish. Methods are too numerous to mention here but there are many ways this can be accomplished.
      I am no youngster anymore but no one would suspect an old man wearing a duffle coat with a walking stick to be a threat to anyone. Totally harmless-yes? ‘WRONG’.
      But it does take TIME. Stalking planning, where they go, what they do.
      When they do it, staking out etc.
      Unlike most people, I do have plenty of time being retired. Or put out to grass!
      Also a nice group of people; well three or four would do nicely. Don’t have to kill the tosser ( although good idea) just leave them unrecognisable with smashed hands and feet so he (or she) would never be able to torture any animal ever again!
      I maybe sound a nasty person but am a ‘pussycat’ really.
      Only nasty to these bastards who take pleasure in causing pain, torture and abusing innocent animals.
      To sum up—Have a good and healthy New Year.

  6. This really needs to stop and f you Anthony you should have the same thing done to you you scum bags. Someday i hope you really suffer especially if the laws dont change you will and hopefully God will not have mercy on you. You should rot in hell

    • Ines Gjurinovic says:

      That he will end up in HELL is a fact – merciless scumbags like him deserve nothing but eternal damnation

    • Let’s not call the bastard by his first name —— lets call him an animal torturing, murdering fucker which would be much more appropriate!
      I really DO HATE these arrogant buggers.
      J.W.

  7. Anthony Bellman…no excuses.

  8. How despicable and cruel, if you don’t want an animal then give it away to a good home, what an idiot whoever would did this 🤬🤬

  9. Do not did. Grammar check.

  10. I think he needs to have the same done to him

  11. Joseph Kenosky says:

    Euthanize the offender(s).

    • MILANTIA ROY says:

      AND MAY WE ASK WHAT HIS SENTENCE WAS? AND IF HE IS JUST GOING TO GET ‘A REPRIMAND’ OR A SLAP ON THE WRIST’ LIKE THE MAJORITY OF THOSE ILL-BORN BASTARDS AS A RESULT OF THE INDIFFERENCE OF THE JUDGE IN CHARGE OF THIS ABOMINABLE CASE IN COURT?
      ISN’T THERE JUSTICE IN THE USA ANYMORE?

  12. These “babies” give so much love and companionship! Then they get older just like we do and are discarded like trash! Horrible! It should happen to him as he ages!

  13. Anthony Bellman needs to have the same thing done to him and let him die. He doesn’t deserve to be in jail or to eat – God bless Xyla and damn all animal abusers!!! They deserve to be tortured!!!!

  14. This gross disgusting monster deserves the same treatment he inflicted on this poor baby! I’m so glad he was rescued in time and treated!

  15. marilyn koogler says:

    this is not right. cruelty is of such in a abundance in this world.

  16. Christine Farrugia says:

    I would SO love to get my hands on those who commit these heinous acts against innocent and vulnerable animals. An eye for an eye!!

  17. Please lock up SCUMBAG POS Anthony Bellman! This POS needs to go to prison for horrific animal cruelty!!!

  18. Asmiria Dlacoste says:

    Anthony Bellman be sure that you will be with Satan pretty soon. It won’t be not very long though since you are 55 now — and I firmly believe that it could even be sooner due to the world’s political situation … rejoice!

  19. Stephanie Geyser says:

    So Anthony Bellman is 55 years old. Let’s hope that when he is 80+ years old and almost blind, his children/grandchildren dump him in a dumpster (with a rope tied securely around his neck) to die – because his family no longer wants him.

  20. Maximum punishment please!! Also, a lifetime ban is needed: from owning, caring for, possessing, and from residing in any house where ANY animal is present.
    He needs to forfeit any animals currently in his possession, and also pay back costs for all veterinary care if applicable. Let’s be serious about saving animals’ lives. Thank you.
