Justice For Jack--PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE-- - The Petition Site

Target: Judge Michael Kelly

Here is the story....

Jack had been effectively abandoned inside of a plastic crate which ultimately became his tomb. By the time that RSPCA investigators found him, he was completely emaciated and surrounded by his own waste.

It was evident that Jack has suffered horribly before his untimely death.

According to prosecutor Andrew Wiles:

“When the top of the crate was removed it was clear the dog was emaciated. There was an inch or more of faeces covering all of the floor except where the dog was laying.”
The judge who presided over this torturous case of cruelty was Judge Michael Kelly. He stated:
“This is one of the worst cases of animal cruelty I have come across.
“This dog was confined in a little cage so small it appears it could barely stand up.
“It was kept there without being allowed out at all for any exercise or freedom and was starved to death.
“You could have released the dog. You could have provided food for it. You were offered help and advice from the RSPCA.
“I can’t think that any human being would have failed to recognise the suffering and distress of this dog.”
Several months before the tortured dog's body was discovered, RSPCA inspectors visited Lockhurst's home and advised that the dog not be kept inside of the plastic crate, offered training advice and even suggested that Jack be surrendered.
Unfortunately for the then 16-week-old puppy, the pair heeded none of the advise.
Instead, the dog was subjected to a dismal existence fraught with torment and agony.
No doubt, the day that Jack breathed his final breath, it was with great relief.
Brunsden has been banned from ever owning an animal again and Lockhurst may face a similar sentence.
The man defending Lockhurst attempted to deflect the blame for this cruelty on the woman's emotional problems and learning disabilities. She has been spending time in a respite center and her sentencing will take place in September.
Regardless, in light of this dog's incredible suffering, there is no sentence which will ever be quite enough.

End the UK Primate Pet Trade - The Petition Site

Wild Futures, formerly The Monkey Sanctuary Trust, based in Cornwall, is a registered charity, which draws on over 40 years of experience caring for unwanted ex-pet monkeys. The Trust is working hard to raise awareness of and put an end to the cruel primate pet trade in the UK.

The primate pet trade in the UK is little documented and many people are shocked that it is still legal to buy and sell monkeys as pets in the UK. However, there may be 5000 privately owned primates in the UK, sometimes living in garden sheds or bird cages without the appropriate 24-hour care that they need and deserve. All primates suffer greatly from this cruel trade, which takes babies from their mothers to be raised by hand for the pet trade. This early separation is extremely traumatic for both mother and baby as, like us, primates are dependent on their mothers for at least 2-3 years. Primates suffer mentally and physically from being kept in captivity as we can never provide for all their needs and as pets they often face isolation and neglect. As wild animals, they can never be domesticated and are also dangerous and a threat to public health due to the diseases that they can carry.

Join Wild Futures in calling for an end to the Trade in Primates as Pets in the UK. On December 10th we will be presenting the petition at The House of Commons and then at the Prime Minister's residence, Number 10 Downing Street. By adding your support to our petition, you will help us to show the Government that there is huge support for this trade to be stopped. Please go to the following page to sign up.
