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]
YOU PEOPLE IN FLORIDA NEED TO CHANNEL YOUR ANGER AND FRUSTRATION INTO ACTION TO GET ANY ANIMAL NEGLECT/ABUSE A FELONY.
COMMENTS AND PETITIONS DO NOTHING.
It’s everywhere state city County rural abuse! Shelter HOLOCOST our Government needs to ban breeding for profit puppy mills/farms…….& arrest sentence animal abuse cases which they don’t they walk!!!!! A damn shame!!!
EXACTLY! I was just thinking how many I sign EVERY day…. Of course I know there are thousands of cases, but something more MUST BE DONE!! I am as sickened as anyone by these photos let alone the actual situations, up 1/2 the night worrying about ALL of the innocent beings…..
At the risk of sounding rude, and it’s not meant to be, but I certainly hope that monies, etc…are going FOR the animals.
Regards, D. Ledbetter

Scott you can write to the Humane Society of St.Lucie and ask for Nikki.
OMG what I would give to get this piece of shit in a room, just the two of us. I’d make sure the bitch regretted her actions.
She should go to jail! This is a crime!
Throw her in jail and let her eat the roaches. She needs to be off the streets and out of society.
She needs to go to jail for at least 10 years no parole.
Her name is out there – someone needs to kill this bitch. People who cause this kind of suffering to others are the worst kind of menace to civilization. They need to be killed immediately after they are convicted. They have got to be removed from the planet!!!
THE SAME TREATMENT TO THIS FEMALE SHIT HUMAN
Put her in a VERY deep small hole in the ground so she has nowhere to shit,,, then when she’s hungry enough she’ll start eating that & then she can start eating her own hands & feet,,, fuck i would love to watch that!!!! don’t forget the popcorn!!!!
Love you Nikki xxx lots n lots n lots xxxx
This dog deserves justice!
Chop that filthy piece of crap’s leg off and starve her. What is wrong with people? Poor sweet Nikki, may she heal and find her forever, loving home.
This woman needs to be sentence to years in PRISON!!! Need justice for all the suffering she cause on this innocence, helpless dog!!! Genita Hedgepeth aka Renee Ellis Hedgepeth is a MONSTER!!!
Kill the bitch
Genita Hedgepeth should not be allowed to have pets every again. She has shown such callousness and can never be trusted.
Please.give this woman the sent an e she deserves
Perhaps stave her and let her know what the poor dog endured.
STARVE HER TO DEATH
THAT IS WHAT SHE DESERVES
SHE SHOULD GET MORE THAN JAIL TIME AND A FEW FINES
AND ABSOLUTELY NEVER EVER BE ALLOWED TO HAVE ANOTHER ANIMAL !!!!
Anyone who abuses any animal should be put away for their crimes! Enough is enough! This abuse of animals is getting so out of hand. It’s happening more every day. And somehow this has got to stop!?
I would like to adopt her. I have been rescuing pit bulls for my whole adult life. I’m fifty now. Kim
She is on Facebook with all her pictures of food.
And she has the nerve to be smiling in her pictures.
Are you kidding me?
And how does Facebook get away with all these criminals on line who prey on th weak?
