Target: Osceola County, Florida State Attorney, Asunción C. Ayllón
Goal: Seek appropriate punishment for man allegedly responsible for throwing an Australian Shepherd off a third-floor balcony.
On December 26, 2024 a man named Martin Zuluaga was allegedly responsible for an act of brutality against a small Australian Shepherd named Lilly in Osceola County, Florida. Disturbing surveillance footage purportedly shows Zuluaga carrying the helpless dog before slamming her against a railing and then violently throwing her to the ground from a third-floor balcony. This shocking behavior, reportedly over an inconvenience involving the dog’s natural bodily functions, is not only alarming but indicative of a deeper issue regarding the treatment of animals.
Initial reports from law enforcement indicate that Lilly sustained visible injuries from this attack, including a dilated pupil in her left eye—suggestive of trauma—and deep tissue bruising on her underbelly. Sheriff Marco Lopez has expressed the disgust felt by the community regarding Zuluaga’s actions, emphasizing that it is fortunate Lilly survived such a brutal encounter. Although Zuluaga has been charged with animal abuse and is currently out on bond with conditions to prohibit pet ownership, the question remains whether the legal measures taken will adequately reflect the severity of this alleged cruelty.
Society must stand firmly against such alleged acts of violence toward animals. This petition aims to push for appropriate legal consequences for those reportedly involved in this horrendous case of animal abuse, ensuring that punishment is not only served but acts as a deterrent against future occurrences. It is imperative that the judicial system upholds the rights and protection of animals, fostering an environment where cruelty is condemned and consequences are enforced.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear State Attorney Ayllón,
The recent incident involving Martin Zuluaga, who allegedly threw a small dog named Lilly to the ground from a third-floor balcony, has caused widespread outrage within the community. The disturbing footage reportedly shows Zuluaga, in a fit of frustration, carrying Lilly and then violently slamming her against a railing before tossing her to the concrete below. Sheriff Marco Lopez has described this act as “disgusting and disturbing,” emphasizing that it is a miracle Lilly did not suffer fatal injuries as a result of this alleged cruelty.
Lilly sustained injuries from this purported assault, including a dilated pupil indicating potential trauma and deep tissue bruising on her underbelly. Although she is expected to recover physically, the emotional toll of such a violent encounter cannot be overlooked. This alarming incident raises serious concerns about animal treatment and the implications of allowing individuals who allegedly display such brutality towards animals to remain free.
Consequently, it is essential to seek a legal outcome that reflects the severity of the allegations against Zuluaga. Justice must be pursued not just for Lilly but also to serve as a warning that acts of animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our community. We urge you to ensure that appropriate punishment is sought for those allegedly responsible for this horrific act of violence against a defenseless animal.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Someone needs to throw that pos from a third floor balcony!
Totally Agree!! Must Be Severely Punished ,,, ASAP!!
Florida, again. Big shocker there. I’ve about had it with these scumbags mistreating animals. Forget a registry; an eye for an eye really needs to be implemented effective immediately.
I know the truth this man will get minimum or no punishment while the dog is now dead
Shame on Florida shame on Florida
Somehow, I feel that the American laws have no strength in these things to protect animals
Justice for Lily!! This POS (and others like him) will continue to commit cruel acts against dogs unless he faces severe consequences. Harsh penalties such as lengthy jail sentence and hefty monetary fine might keep him from reoffending. He must also be banned for life from ever owning or caring for another dog.
So basically the inbred received NO punishment whatsoever….well done to the Police Department you can really see how you got your jobs!
THROW THAT MONSTER OF A PERSON ALSO FROM THE THIRD FLOOR AND LEAVE HIM THERE ON THE GROUND TILL HE DIES. NO MERCY
So let me get this straight: Some worthless scumbag POS attacks a poor innocent dog, slams her against a rail, throws her off a 3rd story balcony, leaves her for dead and he gets OUT ON BOND WITH a ban on future ownership??? Are you kidding?? This is NOT punishment! He should have the same damn thing done to him and leave him for dead! That will be perfect punishment! Nice going, Florida! Way to step up for animal abuse!
