Target: J. Hanley, State’s Attorney for Winnebago County, Illinois
Goal: Ensure strict legal consequences for suspect who allegedly ran over a dog and prevent future abuse.
Community members in Rockford, Illinois, were recently shaken by reports of an act of animal cruelty involving a man running over his own dog. The case has prompted protests outside the Winnebago County Courthouse, with attendees calling for justice and greater accountability for acts of violence against animals.
Animal cruelty is a pressing issue, with an estimated 10 million animals dying from abuse annually in the United States. The case in Rockford is a heartbreaking reminder of the need to protect animals and enforce existing laws that hold individuals accountable for such inhumane actions. Advocates argue that abusing or killing an animal is as severe as harming a human and deserves equivalent legal scrutiny.
Strong penalties must be imposed to send a clear message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated. This includes enforcing state laws that prescribe significant consequences for those convicted of abuse, ensuring such cases serve as a deterrent to potential offenders. Sign below and demand that authorities pursue this case to the fullest extent of the law.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Attorney J. Hanley,
The recent case of alleged animal cruelty in Rockford, where a man reportedly ran over his own dog, has deeply disturbed the community. Such acts of violence against defenseless animals are not only heartbreaking but also indicative of a broader issue that requires immediate and firm legal action.
According to statistics, millions of animals suffer abuse every year in the United States. This case is a stark reminder of the need for strong enforcement of animal protection laws. Abuse of animals is no different from violence against humans, and it deserves the same level of attention and accountability under the law.
We urge your office to pursue the maximum penalties for those found guilty of animal cruelty in this case. Strict enforcement of existing laws will not only deliver justice for the animals but also act as a deterrent to others who may consider engaging in such acts. It is imperative that we send a clear message that animal cruelty has no place in our society.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Death penalty to abuser!
Those typ
Yes, there would be less animal abuse/killing if the people got shot!!
May the punishment Mirror the crimes against animals. No animal deserves abuse
An eye for an eye!!
I am wondering if these abusers EVER get punished? They should all rot in the pits of the jail.
My now ex-husband ran over my dog right in front of me on purpose, they hated each other. He had chased him into the woods a week before with his tractor and I had to go and find him. I ended up with complex PTSD from this monster and he was never punished for any of it. Sadly monsters Run free. I pray for t h e i r day of judgment.
I am so sorry for the trauma and pain you and your poor, innocent dog had to endure, inflicted by your ex. You may not have received any legal justice, but hopefully there will be some karmic retribution for that cruel bastard to suffer for his despicable wickedness.
Kim, I’m sorry for the loss of your beloved dog. I tried to rescue a stray cat (where I lived) but it was stabbed to death in my presence so I relate to you and understand how you feel.
NO THEY BURN IN HELL!!!
AN EYE FOR AN EYE!!!!!
Run that motherfucker over. Post their name. Let’s get a go fund me going to pay someone to “accidentally” run that piece of shit over
I agree – that is the only way we will get justice for the poor animal from these scumbags. I would support financially.
The pieces of garbage that are called owners of these poor dogs need to suffer the same fate. Literally run the owners over until they’re deceased. They’re despicable and don’t deserve to exist.
Spot on! Evil bastards need to know how it feels. Maybe do it nice and slowly, dragging them along gravel or broken glass.
JAIL TIME
Instigation of the death penalty is required for this vile, mentally deranged animal killing scumbag.
PROSECUTE THIS SCUMBAG TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW AND HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL TIE THIS WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT TO A TRAIN TRACK WITH NO WAY FOR THIS DIRTBAG TO GET FREE EXCEPT IN A FUCKING BODY BAG. JUSTICE FOR THIS INNOCENT DOG. WE MUST IMPLEMENT THE DEATH PENALTY SO THAT HOPEFULLY THESE ACTS OF ANIMAL ABUSE AND CRUELTY WILL CEASE TO EXIST.
I hope this fagot mother fucking shit head gets run over and burns in hell for all eternity!!
I’m assuming the poor beautiful creature was killed, it’s a bit ambiguous. Regardless, that utter POS deserves jail time, no animal deserves this. I’m sure someone knows who he is….he needs to get what’s coming to him 🤬
Did the little dog survive? Who is the perpetrator? Why is his name protected?
For God’s sake enforce laws that punish animal cruelty to equal severity to the crime committed. First Degree Felony. NO MERCY….BAN THIS BASTARD FOR LIFE. To start there needs to be a world wide maintained registry of animal abusers to verify who is banned as there is for criminals.
” Advocates argue that abusing or killing an animal is as severe as harming a human and deserves equivalent legal scrutiny.”
MAKE THIS THE LAW NOW!!!!! TOO MANY ANIMALS HAVE SUFFERED!!!! MAKE IT A KIND WORLD!!!!!!!
His name is Jon Duncan – the poor little dog did die.
No animal deserves to be a victim of DEHUMANIZED, DESENSITIZED and MENTALLY-DERANGEED SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS!! NO animal-abuser should get away with such a horrific crime.
LAWMAKERS, stop these crimes by establishing harsh punishments for animal abuse! It’s your duty as humans.
Tormenting, neglecting and killing animals has a brutalizing effect on our society and mankind as a whole.
This pathological monster must be severely punished. He must also be forbidden from coming near animals in future.
SET a PRECEDENT, and punish to the full extent of the law!
MAX JAIL or DEATH PENALTY for this scumbag!
I’d like to know what they are not releasing the full name of this monster and why they are not posting a picture of him or her? That is so important so that his community would then know what a disgusting cowardly piece of shit they have living amongst them … The judges who oversee these cases are usually total losers who just give them a slap on the wrist as they don’t have the balls to give them extensive jail time means that their community is in charge of ensuring they are no longer welcome to be part of society
RUN THIS CRUEK AND ABUSIVE ASSHOLE REPEATEDLY WITH A VEHICLE UNTIL HE DIES A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH!!! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SPACE ON EARTH FOR CRUEL ABUSIVE ASSHOLES TO BE ALIVE!!!!!
Run this mother fucker over!!!!
What do these petitions do???! When will we hear that laws against animal cruelty have strengthened?? ENOUGH w/ this BS already. If animal cruelty laws are not enough then we need to CRUSH these MFrs ourselves!!!!! TAKE THE TRASH OUT
Agree all comments run this bastard over and over leave to die slow death. Justice now what’s wrong with this world and Justice they a shit too not dealing with it. People like that don’t deserve to live.
A shotgun shoved up his arse and pull the fucking trigger. No wasting taxpayer’s money feeding the cunt in prison.
