Target: Bruce Colton, State’s Attorney for St. Lucie County, Florida
Goal: Demand that the person accused of starving and denying medical care to a dog named Nikki, leading to the amputation of Nikki’s leg, faces the maximum penalty if found guilty.
A dog named Nikki was allegedly denied medical care and starved nearly to death. She was reportedly covered in sores and missing a paw when found by police. Demand that justice is served for innocent Nikki.
“It was obviously just a house of horrors knowing that she wasn’t provided food, water, basic necessities that she needed,” stated David Lynch, the spokesman for the Humane Society of St. Lucie County. Per veterinarians, the pit mix was starved to the point where she only weighed 20 pounds and had no body fat. Her leg will have to be amputated because one of her paws was reportedly only a stub, which made it difficult for her to walk.
The dog was taken to the Humane Society of St. Lucie and given medical care. The dog’s owner, was charged with animal cruelty. Sign below and demand that Hedgepeth receive the maximum penalty by law, if convicted.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear State’s Attorney Colton,
A dog named Nikki was reportedly starved and neglected nearly to the point of death. The dog was reportedly so emaciated that her ribs showed through her skin and sores covered most of her body. We demand that justice is served for this innocent dog.
“Every day must have been a complete struggle for her just to survive,” stated Lynch. Per reports, the dog’s back paw was only a stub and infected. Veterinarians aren’t sure how her paw got to be that way or how long she had to suffer with the painful deformity.
This horrific abuse cannot go unpunished. We demand that you seek the maximum penalty in this case, if the owner is found guilty of this tragic abuse.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
May cruelty, pain and evil ways follow this Gillian through all her days. Reverse the torment she created to turn on her a crueler fate.
May you burn in eternal hell you stupid cunt.
This woman is a cold-hearted human being that does not deserve the love of an animal. How could someone look at an animal and NOT feed it and take care of it??!! This woman should be starved to let her know what it feels like. Just unbelievable and unnecessary.
Please do not feed this awful person let them feel the horror of it all and nothing to drink Lock them up for along time maybe cut their fingers off while your at it.
Throw that maggot in jail.My god will this horror ever end.
Genita Hedgepeth deserves the same non-treatment she gave this poor sweet pup. what a piece of garbage she is. throw this inbred fuckwit in a cage and leave her there to rot!!!!!
MAY THIS SUBHUMAN BURN IN HELL!
Put that useless bitch in jail and throw away the key
Nikki deserves JUSTICE now!
This specimen is a waste of oxygen! Save tax payers money – just lock her up and forget her!
PEOPLE WHO ARE GUILTY OF ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN DESERVE TO NEVER WALK FREE AGAIN FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
How is Nikki now? I hope this precious girl is recovering, both physically and emotionally, and that she has a family to love her. Please update
This is what I have found out regarding Nikki from The Humane Society of St. Lucie County:
Just an *update* on our precious baby Nikki. She has been placed in a foster home with a caring animal lover who has helped rehabilitate numerous pets with severe trauma and medical conditions. In just over 24 hours she has been gaining her trust and showing her the love a pet deserves. We are told Nikki is starting to realize that not all humans will treat her bad and she is following her foster mom wherever she goes. Nikki still has a tough road ahead of her, but these are what we hope are the first positive steps in her road to recovery.
We have received a lot of inquiries about how to contribute to her care. We have set up Nikki’s Fund on our webpage and anyone who would like to contribute can click on the link provided. Please continue to have her in your thoughts!! She is so resilient 🙂

Thank you so much for the update on Nikki. She deserves such a loving foster care giver. I hope she fully recovers from her horrific abuse.
Omg what a horrible horrible person!! Poor little dog!!!! I hope she’ll be okay and find tons of love!!!!!
Is she in foster care?
This person needs to be put in a house of horrors. How stupid can she be. She is a very sick human being . I pray karma to her 100 times over. Anybody that would starve a animal you cannot called them human.this person needs fined and put behind bars for many years.
I totally agree with you. Pure Evil
WHAT is the maximum penalty…? Anything less than 20 years is not enough.
I totally agree! That low life who did this to her deserves a lot more than 20!
STARVE THE TURD WHO DID NOT TAKE CARE OF NIKKI THE DOG TO DEATH NOW.
This treatment of such an innocent animal is absolutely inexcusable! And the “max” just isn’t enough. There needs to be a mandatory sentence for animal abusers, something like 35 yrs with NO possibility of parole. I think that would be a good start. People who do things like this, in my opinion, deserve to be treated the same way (but 100 times worse). Let the punishment fit the crime. Let these scumbags suffer the same fate they imposed on the animal, while they’re serving the 35 yrs.
You’re so right. They get the same treatment they gave the poor dog and jail
There is no justice for Nikki! This ripped my heart apart! Human “kind”, the cruelest species on planet Earth… An eye for an eye! :”(
Nikki was a privilege to have as a best friend and companion, not some kind of G-d given right like these sociopaths all seem to think. It’s a privilege! I hate what being an advocate and activist is doing to me, it’s tirned my heart extremely cold to the human scum that’s capable of torturing what have always been my best friends and companions 24/7. Now I’m too sick to care for my baby…
I want him to suffer horribly every living second.
Mr.B.Colton
I hope you are prepared to give this scum bag the punishment she deserves.
I don’t mean a plea bargain,or probation. She needs to be punished severely.
I suggest she be put in solitary confinement for the rest of her life. She only
needs a blanket to lie on,no t.v.,radio,news papers,magazines, phone,ect.
She gets no outdoor privileges,no visitors.She gets a hosing off once a
week for a bath. A bucket for a toilet,and she has to empty it.She only get
enough food and water to be kept barely alive.
