We the petitioners respectfully demand the following:
1. Robert Garcia/HSSA immediately demand the 8 rabbits back they adopted to Colten Jones under contract on 9/22/2021.  (They should still be alive).

2.  Seek felony charges with the police regarding:
Christian Gonzales – Theft, fraud and animal cruelty.
Colten Jones – Receiver of stolen goods, animal cruelty, adopting under false pretenses of a rescue.  
Steve Farley – Aiding and abetting theft, fraud and animal cruelty.

323 Animals were stolen under false pretenses by Christian Gonzalez and received by Colten Jones then subjected them to cruel suffering and death according to his text message to another snake owner.

According to the adoption fees listed on the HSSA website, the shelter endured losses of $9,375.00 for 323 from the stolen animals. 

ARS § 13-1802 is the Arizona statute that defines the crime of theft. People commit this offense when they knowingly use or take someone else's property or services without lawful authority to do so. A violation of this law could lead to Class 2 felony charges punishable by over 12 years in state prison.

Arizona Animal Cruelty Laws 13-2910
A. A person commits cruelty to animals if the person does any of the following:
4. Recklessly subjects any animal to cruel mistreatment
9. Intentionally or knowingly subjects any animal to cruel mistreatment.
14. Intentionally or knowingly subjects a domestic animal to cruel mistreatment.

Please take a moment and email Robert Garcia and copy Mayor Romero.

Please continue to share the original petition.
