Target: Chief Constable Andy Marsh, Avon and Somerset Police, Bristol, United Kingdom
Goal: Ensure that Kylo the dog is not put down by police after protecting his owners from an angry and violent mob.
A Staffie/Labrador mix named Kylo saved the lives of his owners in Bristol, UK, and now may be put down by the police. Kylo’s owners, an unnamed couple in their twenties, were attacked by a mob of 20 men when their faithful dog came to the rescue. The attack occurred at the couple’s home—the men reportedly believed it was the home of a pedophile to whom they intended to send their angry and brutal message. Despite the fact that he no longer lived there, the mob did not stop their violence and brutality. They attacked the couple instead.
The thugs spat on the 24-year-old woman and beat the 25-year-old man, breaking his nose and a rib, before Kylo managed to run them off. However, in the aftermath, Kylo was unable to distinguish that the police who arrived were trying to help, and allegedly bit two of the officers. Police have now seized him and are threatening to put him down. Kylo is a hero who saved his family. Sign below to demand that his life be spared.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Chief Constable Marsh,
A Bristol couple was attacked by an angry and violent mob, and their lives were saved by their dog, Kylo. The attackers, heedless of the fact that their true target no longer lived at the house that now belongs to the couple, spat on the woman and laid into the man, breaking his nose and ribs. Kylo ran them off, but in the confusion that followed Kylo—unable to tell that police were not another threat—allegedly bit two officers. Now, Kylo has been taken by your police force, who want to put him down.
Kylo is a hero who saved an innocent couple from violence. He could not have known that the police were there to help. This dog and his owners should not be punished with such cruel finality for their bravery in the face of brutality and violence. I urge you to ensure that Kylo is not put down, and is returned to his owners.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
This dog is a Hero doing what a dog should do protecting his family. The police are wrong In every way.
PLEASE DON’T destroy this beautiful dog ?*Save KYLO!!!!!!!*
Dear organization,
Your activity is wonderful still, I do not find very fair to condition the petition signing with donation request.
I really believe Kylo’s case and want to support but I’m not that financially well as to put my debit card’s data for donations.
These being said, kindly play fair and allow us to sign the petition to the end, without asking money first.
Respectfully yours,
Violeta Halasag
I totally agree with you, I’m in the same position. I’m not sure if animal petitions really care that much if signing the petition becomes so difficult.
Violeta, you can still sign the petition – it’s FREE. There is no obligation to donate – the donation is merely a request. You can agree to do it or ignore it if you can’t afford it. I live in South Africa, most of these petitions are in the USA… there is NO WAY I’m donating anything… not with the exchange rate as it is! But… I sign loads and loads of petitions and they all help. These non-profit organisations try many ways to get money to survive, asking for donations from signers is just one way. (Spamming your inbox trying to sell tee-shirts is another way…) I ignore those too. 🙂 I hope you still signed poor Kylo’s petition? Keep well… love from RSA 🙂 Jean
it doesn’t look too clear if i signed or not. bad website
Kylo the dog did what any other dog on our Planet would do, namely defend his owner. Kylo couldn’t know, in ALL TUMULT that has arisen, that Police are “friends” and not “enemies”. Kylo should ABSOLUTELY be FORGIVEN for this little “misunderstanding”, and rather be AWARDED a medal for his LOYALTY and LOVE for the owner. The Police should show COMPASSION for Kylo, instead of sentencing him to death for the situation that was created by EVIL HUMANS, and NOT Kylo !! If Kylo is not set free, than our Planet is a horrifying place to live !! P/s Imagine that your daughter meets a rapist on her way home. Would you like to have dead or ALIVE Kylo the dog in the vicinity..!?? think about it before you judge this BRAVE, LOYAL and LOVING dog.
That’s the purpose of having guard dogs they are to protect their owners not right to punish dog for doing what it’s suppose to do protect its family
Agreed.
Here we go again the Police and the laws protect the criminal instead of protecting the victim. How can the dog know the difference? These people would probably be dead if it wasn’t for the dog but the police want to put it down because it bit them. What percussion did they take before entering the home??? START PROTECTING THE VICTIM. The dogs did what he was meant to do. This dog deserves a metal or better still the predators should be locked one by one unarmed with the dog for 10 minutes. Quit worrying about the dog and do something about the HATE CRIME.
Absolutely no reason Kylo should be put down!!! Just protecting his family!!!
To the cops,
Grow up, he did what you could not do. Take his life and I will pray every damn night that you get run over by a bus, idiots!
Please update us. So heartbreaking.
Did they even arrest this brutal and homicidal mob? Free Kylo and punish the REAL criminals! I suspect this was some kind of hate crime!
How could they even think of doing this?
Agree all comments this is bull shit kill the attackers not poor dog that help owners perthitic
Are the authorities completely nuts? How was the dog to know that the police were not a threat considering that the dog had just dealt with people who WERE a threat?
The thought of killing a hero dog is not only cruel to the dog and his owners, but completely ignorant on the part of the police!
At least he is sincere in performing his duty.This is what you are giving in return. The incompetent police should go after the culprit. Police should take lesson from this dog how to perform sincere duty.
Really Seriously Honestly…he was protecting his family. Would They put down 1 of those attacker’s if they mistakenly punched the authorities NO…come on! Let the furbaby go home & leave it @ that. Maybe they should be spending more time on arresting the damn thugs that attacked the couple …Or do they have nothing better to do?
If you save your loved ones from danger then you should be punished and killed? Fucking absurd logic!!!!
The UK has gone to the dogs (excuse the pun!) when mindless vigilantes are allowed to attack the innocent, and the police have nothing better to do than to arrest animals. Perhaps the police should try to arrest the criminals (vigilantes) instead – it will make for a refreshing change.
This story is unbelievable,Let this dog go home to it family.with all the real problems we have to deal with to threaten to put him down is just so wrong on every level.growbso brains
How do I get updates on this dog? Signing petitions is ok, but is frustrating if there is no update
The dog did a great job, just because cops got bitten is no need to put the dog down, the dog should get a medal!!! Do the right thing and let the pup go home!!!
HIZO LO QUE NO HICIERON USTEDES PEDAZO DE INUTILES Y QUIREN CASTIGAR AL PERRO QUE FUE UN HEROE
