Justice for Lincoln The German Shepherd

The Issue

This is a petition to get justice for Lincoln and his owner. The lady in question locked the owner of the dog in the bath house when she saw the opportunity, broke into the victims camper, took his dog Lincoln down by the river and shot Lincoln down then tried to dump his body in the river that ran along the campground property. This was a woman in which the campgrounds owners trusted to take care of the property and the people that are living there. She was originally charged with five felonies and was officially charged with three for a total of eighteen months. To me this feels like a slap on the wrist. She was not charged with kidnapping by holding the victim against his will in a facility in which she was in charge of. I’m looking to get justice and closure for the dog and the owner that lost his best friend and fur baby that day. Things like this happen all over the country and go under the radar because it’s a dog and they are seen as property and not a living creature. Please take a moment and sign my petition. It would mean the world to me and it would really help take a stand against animal abuse and unlawful euthanasia of animals. I believe all animals deserve to be treated better and owners of these pets should never have to live in fear of someone killing their family pet and loved one. I believe that the lady of question should be retried as I don’t believe her punishment fits the crime. Please take a minute and sign for awareness.
