Remove Animals from Matthew Hill's Custody


Remove Animals from Matthew Hill's Custody
The Issue
Court records document the intentional torture of a pig by Matthew Hill. "As the ATV and pig enter the roadway, the pig can be heard squealing and screaming loudly, shaking and struggling as it was dragged down the road. The pig's squealing can be heard over the noise of the ATV engine."
This horrifying event is a blatant act of animal abuse that cannot go unpunished. It's unimaginable that innocent animals could continue to suffer under such conditions. We must act to prevent further pain and torture to animals in Vermont.
Animal cruelty laws are in place to prevent such abuses, yet incidents like this remind us that more stringent measures and enforcement are crucial. Animals rely on us for protection, and it's our moral duty to ensure their safety. Allowing abusers to maintain custody of animals they have harmed perpetuates a cycle of fear, injury, and mistrust.
We urge the Vermont legal system to take immediate action by removing all animals from Matthew Hill's care. By doing so, we send a clear message that Vermont does not tolerate animal cruelty.
Please join us in ensuring justice for this pig and safeguarding other animals. Your voice in this matter can lead to legislative change and help secure the welfare of animals across our state. Sign this petition and advocate for a compassionate community free from the scourge of cruelty. Attend the court date in August to demonstrate our collective demand for justice.
Stay informed and united as we push for meaningful change. Access the court records and related evidence through the following link: [Google Drive Folder](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qjlmN6UeI8Z-m8UBLd9ugvopebR3BiTo?usp=sharing
Animal welfare is a shared responsibility, and together, we can protect the voiceless. Please sign this petition and stand with us against animal cruelty in Vermont.

My deepest gratitude to all of you!
