Hundreds of us have witnessed in dismay for over a year through TikTok as Pryd and Laya, two innocent dogs, suffered daily in a tiny apartment under the care of Lori Jones in Peru, Indiana. She kept these dogs confined, withholding water and neglecting their need for exercise or regular bathroom breaks. While live on TikTok, Lori often yelled at them and subjects them to an environment filled with cigarette and marijuana smoke. And now there's a cat.

This is more than just neglect; this is a blatant disregard for the health and well-being of Pryd and Bettina. Labs such as this, known for their energy and vivacity, deserve to live in an environment where they can thrive, not just survive. The current situation poses severe psychological and physical health risks, which are unacceptable.

Laya was able to escape but Pryd is still being mistreated daily. Trapped indoors all day and night unless Lori needs to run to the corner store.

Animal control in Bunker Hill, Indiana, has the authority and obligation to intervene in cases where neglect is evident. The local authorities need to prioritize the investigation into this matter and take decisive action to ensure the safety and welfare of these animals.

We urge Bunker Hill Indiana Animal Control to conduct immediate welfare checks on the animals in Lori's care and evaluate the living conditions. They should remove them from this harmful situation promptly and place them in a safe, nurturing environment where their needs can be met.

Join us in shining a light on this issue and compelling the authorities to act. Sign this petition to demand action from Bunker Hill Indiana Animal Control. Pryd and Bettina the cat deserve to live free from neglect and abuse. Let’s give them the chance for a better life.
