16-Year-Old Golden Lab Apparently Found in Critical Condition With Maggot Infestation Deserves Justice

Target: Amira Fox, State Attorney for the 20th Judicial Circuit of Florida

Goal: Ensure man faces maximum penalties for allegedly leaving a dog, Molly, emaciated and suffering from maggots.

A disturbing case of alleged animal neglect has emerged in Fort Myers, Florida, involving a 16-year-old Golden Labrador named Molly. Deputies from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office responded to Blue Pearl Animal Hospital, where Molly was reportedly found in critical condition—thin, weak, and suffering from maggots crawling from her rectum. The attending veterinarian determined that Molly had been severely neglected and decided to euthanize her to end her suffering.

After further investigation, detectives concluded that Molly’s condition resulted from severe neglect and abuse, leading to the arrest of her owner, Jonathan Urquizo. This heartbreaking incident highlights the importance of holding pet owners accountable for the well-being of their animals. Ensure that Urquizo faces the full legal consequences of his alleged actions.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear State Attorney Amira Fox,

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent case of alleged animal cruelty involving Jonathan Urquizo and his 16-year-old Golden Labrador, Molly. Reports indicate that Molly was found in a severely neglected state, leading to her euthanasia at the Blue Pearl Animal Hospital due to her suffering.

The allegations against Mr. Urquizo are both disturbing and heartbreaking. Molly’s suffering and eventual death were reportedly the result of severe neglect, and it is crucial that justice is served in this case. I urge your office to pursue the maximum penalties allowed by law to ensure that Mr. Urquizo is held fully accountable for his actions.

This case underscores the critical need for strict enforcement of animal welfare laws and serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting vulnerable animals from harm. I trust that your office will handle this matter with the seriousness it deserves, ensuring that such cruelty is met with appropriate consequences.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

  1. Do the same to him & leave him suffer for a month then euthanize him in honor of Molly
    💔💔

  2. Joanna Baglione Williams says:

    I am so sick and tired of people being allowed to abuse, beautiful animals and getting away with it. It’s time for judges to be held accountable for not locking these scums up for long time.

    • That’s been my opinion for a long time. If people knew they were going to spend time in jail amongst animal lovers I think a lot of them would decide to do the right thing.

  3. Surely someone knows where this asshole lives. Sick of nothing happening to 5he perpetrators. You sign the petition but never find out if these lowlifes are ever punished.

  4. How about taking a quart of maggots and shoving them up this prick’s ass. Then throw him in a cell and let the maggots do their work on him. His screams would be music to my ears. Let him scream and cry and suffer until he takes his last breath. But, as usual, the courts, the judges and the legal system will do very little to this low-life cocksucker. He’ll get a slap on the wrist and go back out into society, get another dog and abuse him or her until that poor animal suffers and dies. And the legal system, the courts and the judges won’t do a damn thing about it. Welcome to the no-balls court system in America. Just for general information, if a person was to hunt this bastard down and put bullets in his brain and eliminate him from this earth, how many years do you think a fuckin’ judge would give this guy or gal? I would say most likely life in prison with no parole or maybe even the death penalty. My question is, why won’t the judge give the sonofabitch that tortured the dog get life in prison or the death penalty? No balls, that’s why!!!!!!!!!!!! In my opinion, that dog’s life was worth a hundred times more than the sonofabitch that tortured and basically killed the poor animal. I say no mercy for mother-fuckers like him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. Joseph Kenosky says:

    Find the people that allowed this and jail them for the maximum amount of time.

  6. Why? is this clown that screwed up in the head that he thinks this behavior to torture an animal is acceptable in the United States because hell no you dirty scumbag it’s not now it’s your turn to rot in a prison cell in solitary confinement! This has got to stop now send a clear message we are a society that protects helpless animals not victimize them for some sick game!

    • Unfortunately, we’re not at all a society that protects helpless animals. 😔💔🥺💔 Maybe many decades ago! But now, FB,or Meta, allows videos of baby monkeys to be horrifically tortured, until they’re finally killed & put out of their misery. There’s very little justice anymore for both human beings & animals! It’s absolutely awful, to say, at the very least, that society’s thoughts on the quality of life, for both humans & animals is disintegrating at a very rapid pace! 🥺💔😔💔

  7. Die a slow tortuous death you piece of shit low life!!!

    Jonathan Urquizo

    Not sure but it seems this imbecile had Molly for years and when she got older decided that she was not worth the bother and abandoned her to suffer a horrible agonizing end of life.

    Asshole, don’t get an animal if you are only there for the good times! THEY ARE A LIFE LONG FAMILY MEMBER. You need to feel the same agony Molly suffered!

    Amira Fox, State Attorney This lowlife must be held accountable for Molly’s agonizing end of life. GET MOLLY REAL JUSTICE. FELONY CHARGES nothing less.
    Hope your cell is rampant with maggots and no one gives a tiny rats ass!!

  9. I would have given anything for my dog to have lived to 16 years of age. So sad to think the kind of life Molly could have had in a loving household. RIP beautiful old girl ❤️

  10. Anita Williams says:

    I had a Lab I would have never treated my dog like this . This is uncalled for by any one to do this I had 3 labs I would have done anything for them . Just wish my dog’s have lived that long to . Put him in jail and throw away the key and never let him out no more . He deserves what he gets in prison .

  11. Jane Todaro says:

    This guy should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and never allowed near an animal ever again!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH SOME PEOPLE????????!!!!!!!!!

  12. This case underscores the critical need for strict enforcement of animal welfare laws It states above! So, with everyday abuse, torture and murder of animals, WHY IS THIS NOT ENFORCED?
    The Justice system is just as bad as these ‘motherfucking’ perps as they will ‘NOT’ for some reason give these bastards the sentence they deserve.
    These pricks are just laughing at the useless system! Here’s what should happen.— The Judge would say, “ You will be sentenced and brought before a selected animal activist group to teach you the error of your ways to be carried out immediately”. Now— wouldn’t that make sense! And I guarantee that there would be an immediate decline of animal torture and murder because these pieces of shite are pathetic cowards!
    But— it will never happen as the bastard ‘perp’ has rights as his highly paid bloody brief would quickly point out! But the bloody system is scared of them is why they get off with slapped wrists! Well so do animals have rights. And more so than these Oxygen stealing turds. So we are back to square one!
    This is happening every day across the world and it seems will never stop whilst there are sick minded buggers out there who really do enjoy torturing innocent animals. Although it always seems that dogs come off worse.This bastard called ‘Erquiso’ needs a serious lesson on how to treat them!
    And if any group or lone Vigilante can accomplish this then I say ‘good on you’ as this is the only way animal torture and murder will be stopped.
    J.W.

    • AMEN. WE HAVE LAWS ON THE BOOKS. WE NEED STRONGER LAWS WITH MUCH HARSHER PUNISHMENTS. AND WE NEED OUR PEOPLE WHO PROSCECUTE TO BE REALLY INTO PROTECTING ALL ANIMALS. NO MORE SLAP ON THE WRIST. IT DOES NOT PROTECT ANIMALS. THEY NEED OUR PROTECTION NOW, THEY CAN’T WAIT! WE MUST DO MORE!!!

  13. How people can be so cruel and evil??? I HATE THEM!

  14. Stephanie Geyser says:

    It’s a pity that Jonathan Urquizo can’t be sentenced to being starved to death – so he can experience the pain and suffering that he inflicted on his old dog. But he will probably get a bleeding-heart lawyer to plead “mental illness” and he will be exonerated – because the law is an ass.

  15. So sad for this beautiful dog named Molly. The vet did the right thing for she would not suffer any more. As they say, KARMA is coming for them. R.I.P. sweet Molly.

  16. Jacqueline “Torture the S…” says:

    This Maggot doesn’t deserve to live either!!

  17. Paula Long says:

    So sorry this poor baby was so abused. Please find the person who did this and sentence his ass! Not even Satan would take this abuser.

  18. THERE’D BE NO NEED TO SIGN ALL THESE FUCKING PETITIONS IF THE LAWS WERE CHANGED! I’VE NEVER HEARD ANY OF THESE GREEDY NO BRAIN POLITITIANS THAT RUN ON BOTH SIDES IF THE AISLE EVER ADDRESS THE SUBJECT OF ANIMAL ABUSE DOMESTICE ANIMALS & WILDLIFE!NO THEY RUN ON SHIT & WHEN ELECTED DON’T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT LAY BLAME ON THE OTHER SIDE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES.REAL CHANGE WILL COME FOR THESE FORGOTTEN VOICLESS LIVING CREATURES WHEN SOMEONE HAS THE BALLS,WILL MAKE THIS ABOUT THEIR CAMPAIGN! ANYTHING ELSE CAN COME LATER. NONE OF THEM GIVE 2 SHITS ABOUT ANIMALS OR PEOPLE! JUST THEIR OWN PERSONAL GREEDY AGENDAS. I’M SICK OF IT.

  19. Dennis Busto says:

    Absolutely No Tolerance Towards Animal ABUSERS n Cruelty. An eye for an eye fits this crime n should be the punishment. Paws Matter

  20. I strongly agree with Cindy that this monster should first suffer and then be euthanized! That would be true justice for this poor dog.

    Everyone, please go to change.org and sign my petition about needing to end all animal cruelty worldwide.

    Thank you.
