Target: Prosecuting Attorney Kenneth P. Cotter, St. Joseph County, Indiana
Goal: Investigate and prosecute man accused of beating dog with hammer and burying her in the snow.
A man reportedly beat his dog with a hammer and then buried her in the snow. Neighbors apparently witnessed the event and called South Bend police. When the police arrived, they reportedly saw the attack in progress and intervened on the dog’s behalf. The man was apparently pulled off his dog and the dog was dug out of the snow by the responding officers.
The man accused of the crime, John Hill, was arrested for Cruelty to an Animal and the dog was rushed to the local veterinarian, where sadly they were forced to euthanize her.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecuting Attorney Kenneth P. Cotter,
An innocent dog was reportedly beaten with a hammer and buried in the snow by her owner. The man accused of this crime, John Hill, has been arrested and the case has been forwarded to your office.
Animal cruelty has no place in our society and I ask you to pursue this case to the fullest extent allowed under the law. We ask for justice on behalf of this poor innocent creature.

They should have shot the asshole. They would have done the world a favor.
Totally agree!!
Agreed.
I wish they would’ve! Then some idiot would’ve recorded on their cell and they’d be fired. Can’t win!!
John Hill needs to be exterminated, the piece of shit won’t be missed. Poor dog has suffered at the hands of subhuman scum.
EXACTLY!!!! OH GOD PLEASE WTF????..UN PHUCKIN REAL MOTHERPHUKEN P.O.S.
Absolutely agreed! Just so very sad.
He deserves nothing less in return, then to be locked away for good.
I am the person that saw and videotaped the beating. He hit his dog approximately 20 times, kicked snow over the dog, and left. The police showed up AFTER he left. I gave them his name, phone number, description of his truck, the road he was working on, and let them know he had another dog, cats, and a bird. I just saw on the news that he told the police that his dog had a seizure so he put it down because he didn’t have a gun. SMH If his dog actually did need put down, I would have paid for it. This guy is nuts.
Thank you for notifying the police. I truly hope all the rest of the animals were removed from his home!!
No animal shoukd ever have that happen to them..no matter what the reason…
Thank you and blessings for doing the right thing. The evil monster is cunning and extremely, dangerous.
Do you know where the piece of shit lives ?
He lives at 234 Altgeld Street, South Bend, Indiana.
I hope they take the other animals from him and if he was having seizures even more sad for the dog because they are out of it and it is exhausting for them. They are also afraid. That man should have never been pro, he’s evil and wait until he has a stroke, would he like humans to inhumanely beat him in the snow?
My iphone messes up my words. I said that man should never have been procreated.
Thank you for reporting this piece of scum. If I had witnessed this loser hurting his dog I would’ve taken him out with my bare hands. This motherfucker needs the death penalty.
Why didn’t you go out there am try to stop him? Did you yell at him or anything at all?
Yet again, it’s a dirty cocksucking filthy goddam subhuman fucking useless n!&&3R. What good does this bl@ck garbage serve?
wow you are a crazy wacko. This man is in his 60’s and is WHITE as snow. WHITE. A WHITE MAN. You are an idiot.
Go away. If the people reading this petition decide they don’t want to pursue harsher charges because of your constant racism, you should be blocked from the site. Don’t ruin things.
Agree 100%!! Race has nothing to do with it. Scum is scum is scum!
White guys used to get away with beating slaves, let alone dogs. Seems like only the police can do it now. Unless you are a red headed step child then you are fair game.
This sadistic dangerous monster up and do not let him ever roam free in society again he is an extremel danger to all innocent helpless beings
Wish there was a death sentence to all animal abusing scum in this world!
This guy should be punished same way as if the victim was a human.. people get away too much with murdering and torturing animals because the laws are not harsh enough.. these dogs are precious emotional sensitive beings. Put this monster in prison for life!
Beat this mother fucker with a hammer! Then set the piece of shit on fire! Don’t let him die right away either! Let the asshole die slowly from his injuries! Asshole!!!!
PERFECT!!!
Put this animal in prison and throw away the keys hopefully the inmates will take care of him !
Alright all you who live near this piece of shit. Get the other pets away from him somehow. You know the law wont help.
Saddest thing is this continues daily because penalties aren’t enough to scare people. Men must be taught as babies and boys to be loving. When we say Boys will be Boys this is what we get. We take time to empower our daughters and thats great but murderers, molesters, theives, homeless…..majority are makes. Even on here taking the time to sign these petitions, mosty women. To the loving men out there – thank you and God Bless.
Majority are Males. Sorry. Typo.
Fry his sick butt.
Well done Justin for what you did.Its people like you who speak up for animals.You are a star and i cant praise you enough.Animal abuse should be stopped.
WHEN ARE THE LAWS GOING TO CHANGE so we don’t have to keep reading these stories over and over again ?? WHEN WILL THAT HAPPEN FOR ANIMALS ? WHEN ??
Well done Justin for speaking up for that poor dog.Its people like you who speak out and try and stop animal abuse.Well done.
CUNT needs to suffer the same fate(hopefully worse cause the law hasn’t got the balls to stop this)
Death penalty for animal abuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This person or persons must die.. they must feel pain to the core of their souls., I want their hands to burn until they can no longer feel their fingers. For that matter cut them off since all they will ever do is inflict pain on the next innocent victim..
CHANGE THE LAWS
This POS deserves the same thing that he did to an innocent dog! A sledgehammer smashing his head repeatedly until he dies and enters hell. Sickening and Repulsive!
I am glad neighbors called the police. I just wish a few if them would have ganged up on this monster and rescued this dog and all of the fur babies from his home before he could do anything. It infuriates me when people get pets and then hurt and/or kill them! I love my cats and would guard them with my own life.
