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]
Return the favor!!!!! DO NOT FORCE TAXPAYERS TO SPEND ANY MORE MONEY ON THESE SICK HUMANS!!!! If you do to them what they have ALREADY done to these innocent animals, they WILL NOT be so quick to do it again!!!
Stupid B___ needs to be locked up and not fed! DO NOT allow this horrible animal abuse go unpunished….put Genita Hedgepeth in jail for the maximum time she can get; fine her for the most that you can and she should not EVER EVER EVER be allowed to own or be around any other animal until she is no longer in this world!
Punish this so called human,and never allow her to keep another animal ever!!! Poor little dog. Hope she finds a kind loving home.
The only way this inhumane treatment of these poor animals is going to stop is when the laws supposedly “protecting” them is enforced. The same treatment should be done to those “humans” that are harming the innocent animals! That poor baby’s face is heartbreaking!! What do people get out of purposely starving and harming animals that cannot defend themselves? I truly truly hope karma returns the favor and this bitch starves to death someway somehow.
How ludicrous is this that we just KEEP SOUNDING OFF OUR RAGE over and over each time we see another abuse case that is worse than the next.
Why (in THIS country) are we still watching and taking this abuse to fight to prove abuse is wrong? One has to ask themselves, “who are the real abusers?”
THIS WILL NEVER STOP TILL THE REAL ABUSERS – THE LAW MAKERS THEMSELVES – CHANGE THE LAWS!!
i am literally “sick and tired” of seeing Gods’ creatures being treated like this by Gods’ creatures.
“Do to others (including animals) as you would have them do unto you” should apply to this woman and all who abuse animals. They need to be dealt the same treatment. Sadly the laws protect the abusers, not the victims – penalties far too lenient. Incarceration at taxpayers expense ineffective at changing behavior – an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth a better solution.
So heartbreaking sad i pray for justice for this poor baby !! Hopung for updates in hope this baby will get healthy and finds true love !!
personnes damnés
I demand justice for this poor starved dog! Punish this putrid woman to the fullest extent of our completely inadequate animal abuse laws! Poor little Nikki! What terrible hunger and pain she suffered! No living being should ever be treated in such a mean and callous manner ! This putrid abuser deserves the harshest punishment possible!
I apologize if another person already mentioned this but I was horrified when I saw this woman’s picture..with no exageration, she truly looks evil. I just googled her name and all kinds of stories come up along with her mugshot. She looks as if she couldn’t care less what she did to this poor animal. I’m beginning to agree with the poster who said she deserves the same. I’m sorry I couldn’t provide a link. I believe the story I read was a CBS news report.
This evil monster Hedgepeth must be thrown in jail to rot! This poor innocent, helpless and neglected little creature must have suffered unimaginably in the hands of this b….! If it is not possible to imprison this lowlife until she rots, prosecute, fine and serve her with a lifetime ban from keeping ANY animal. There has to be justice for little Nikki. I hope and pray for little Nikki’s speedy recovery from her appalling ordeal and hope she finds a caring and loving new home where she is respected and loved for ever.
Sick woman. Please do not allow her to ever keep another animal!! Poor dog.
why don’t you just piss off to the hell
This sicko needs to be put in a cage and never let out. She must be severely punished and never allowed to have another animal.
That evil bitch deserves very long sentence And l hope she suffers in jail .Karma will get her big time
The look on that poor girls face shows it all! There is no need for people to be that cruel! Perhaps the person, if that’s what she is, should be treated in the same manner she treated this poor dog!
Bruce – The Animal Kingdom are citizens of this Earth, too, who have just as much a right as we do to live their lives on this Planet, free from torture and murder at the hands of humans. This incident is a clear case of attempted murder. Please use your power and position to show the world that animal abuse will not be tolerated in your County; prosecute this perpetrator to the fullest extent possible. Please!
It used to be that in ancient cultures, the weak and the mentally sick who caused destruction and posed a danger were culled … need to bring that back! This oxygen waste needs to be culled from society …
She is a rabid animal–put her down. Jail time and a fine won’t work; she’ll get out and do it again.
PUT THIS BITCH INTO SUBMISSION. THROW HER IN A DARK CAGE AND LET HER ROT. THEN FEED HER TO THE PIGS. NO MERCY WHAT SO EVER FOR THIS SICK BITCH.
