Target: Mr. Amira Fox, State Attorney for the 20th Judicial Circuit of Florida
Goal: Investigate and ensure strict penalties for the individual allegedly responsible for the neglect of Robo, and enforce stronger animal welfare regulations.
In Immokalee, Florida, a man named Romeo Gabriel-Lopez was arrested on charges of animal cruelty after allegedly failing to provide adequate shelter for his dog, Robo. During heavy rain and flood conditions detectives reportedly found Robo, a young bull terrier, tied to a pole and sitting inside a flooded doghouse with one to two feet of water. At the time, Collier County was under a tornado and flood watch.
Gabriel-Lopez was not home, but detectives contacted him by phone, and he agreed to surrender Robo. Following an investigation, deputies returned to arrest Gabriel-Lopez. This case highlights the urgent need for strict enforcement of animal welfare laws to prevent such apparent neglect and ensure the well-being of animals. Take stringent measures to hold individuals accountable for alleged neglect and protect the welfare of animals like Robo.
