UPDATE: Jeff & I went to court  today 10/19/26 regarding Destiny's case.
Just as we thought her abuser got a slap on the wrist.
He pleaded guilty as a 1st time offender
The judge slapped him with a $1,000 fine which his attorney tried to get reduced, 6 years probation  (10/19/29), reduced his community service from 80 hours to 50 hours, and cannot own any animals within those 6 years. If he makes it through the 6 year probation period without getting into any trouble it will drop off his record as if it never happened.
This makes me so angry, just a slap on the wrist!!!
RIP  Destiny, you will never be forgotten, we love you baby girl!

Support Destiny’s Law – Stronger  Penalties for Animal Abuse & Neglect

***THIS PETITION IS INTENDED FOR U.S. RESIDENTS ONLY***

Animal cruelty should never be ignored. We are calling for the passage of Destiny’s Law, which will enforce stronger penalties for animal abuse and neglect, require quicker intervention in reported cases, and mandate proper medical care for neglected animals.

Destiny’s Story:

Destiny was a victim of extreme neglect and abuse—left outside without food, water, advanced heartworm positive,  could hardly walk, severe dental disease, suffering from a Mast Cell Tumor larger than a melon hanging heavily in-between her legs, and used solely for breeding. Despite six reports  over a two year span from neighbors, no action was taken by the City Animal Control Director, and no charges have been filed against her original owners. When she was finally rescued and adopted by a loving family, her condition was too severe to overcome. On March 12th, 2025, Destiny succumbed to the effects of prolonged abuse and neglect.

Destiny’s case is not an isolated incident. Too many animals suffer due to weak laws and lack of enforcement. Studies show a direct link between animal abuse and violent crime, making this an issue that affects not only animals but society as a whole.

Please help us in seeking "JUSTICE FOR DESTINY"!

By signing this petition, you are urging Lawmakers to pass Destiny’s Law and take a stand against animal cruelty. This law would:

✅ Enforce harsher penalties for animal abusers

✅ Ensure faster intervention when abuse is reported

✅ Require mandatory medical treatment for neglected animals

✅ Hold authorities accountable for acting on reports of abuse

✅ Hold animal shelter directors and employees accountable—if they fail to act, they must face consequences, including termination

✅ Establish a mandatory protocol for removing animals from neglectful owners

✅ Require immediate rescue of animals showing clear signs of abuse: dehydration, malnourishment, open wounds, lack of food or water

✅ Increase funding for shelters and rescues, establish more shelters to accommodate rescued animals, stop kill shelters.

Let’s make sure no other innocent animal suffers like Destiny did. Sign and share this petition to help protect vulnerable animals and demand justice!
