This precious dog is NOT the attacker...she was the VICTIM!!

Maximum prison term of 4yrs wanted for Karley abuser

Target:
Riverside District Attorney, WILL ROBINSON
Our last petition was written in Nov 2008.  That petition was used to get Glynn Johnson arrested & charged with FELONY ANIMAL CRUELTY.  Those who wish, may still sign the FIRST petition.
http:///www.thepetitionsite.com/1/justice-4-karley-2

This petition is being written in hopes of getting the MAXIMUM prison term, which is 4 yrs. IF convicted of FELONY ANIMAL CRUELTY.  We are hoping for a felony conviction.

We realize that the conviction & the sentence COMES from the Court not a petition.  But this case is very important to not only California but to all other states, where families have lost their pets/family members to abuse. Many people are watching this case very closely.

On May 1st., Glynn Johnson was "HELD TO ANSWER" for the beating death of KARLEY, a 6 month old German Shepard.  The Judge felt there was sufficient evidence to name Johnson the primary suspect in the death of Karley.  On May 15th, there will be an arraingment of Johnson.

For those of you that might not know the story of KARLEY, let me tell you a little about her. 

Nov 3rd., 2008, Karley was beaten with a 12lb rock, her jaw was broken, she had swelling in her head & her skull had been crushed.  All of this was done by Glynn Johnson, who at the time, was employed as an LA COUNTY ASST. FIRE CHIEF.  Johnson has since retired from the Fire Dept.

On Nov. 3rd., Karley got out of her yard & was being returned to her home by a neighbor when Johnson stepped in & said that he would return Karley to her home.  Instead of returning her, he started beating her with the rock.  Johnson CLAIMED that Karley, for an unknown reason, ATTACKED him & started biting him.  He claims he FEARED FOR HIS LIFE.

The original neighbor witnessed what was taking place & tried to stop Johnson's attack. 

Karley's injuries were so intense that she had to be put down. 

If anyone would like to read the entire story of Karley, please go to:
justice4karley.com

We hope that you will join us in signing this petition & hopefully you will pass it along to your family & friends.  

Glynn Johnson HAS to be held accountable for what he did.  This wasn't a case of a vicious dog attacking an innocent person.  Johnson ADMITTED that Karley had rolled over onto her BACK.  Everyone knows that that's a sign of SUBMISSION. 

With this petition, we are asking that Johnson not only be CONVICTED of the felony but that he also receive the maximum prison sentence which is 4 yrs.

We ALL must stick together to STOP any & all animal abuse as well as human abuse.  Laws are in place for a reason.  We HAVE to step in & put a stop to all abuse when we witness it.  All you have to do is make a phone call.  You don't have to step in & try to physically stop it BUT you do have to take the first step which is picking up your phone. 

We HAVE to be the voice for those that have no voice.  We have to be the voice behind that small child or that panicked & threatened spouse.  We have to be the voice for those defenseless animals. 

Please join us in this attempt to make changes.

Thank you.

 Dear Mr. Robinson...we, the undersigned,  thank you for the hard work that you have done so far with this case.  We know that the verdict will come from the jurors on this case.   However, since we don't have a name for the Judge yet, this petition is being sent to you.

You have helped the Toole family for months now & that is greatly appreciated. 

All we are asking for is that Glynn Johnson be held accountable for his actions...to be convicted of this horrendous crime & be convicted of FELONY ANIMAL CRUELTY. 

Everyone will be watching this case very carefully.  This kind of abuse takes place EVERY single day & it needs to stop.  And this case is showing people that they, too, don't have to sit back & accept what happens to their precious fur baby.  Our pets are NOT property...they really ARE a part of the family.  And they need to be treated as such.

ANIMAL ABUSE IS A HORRIBLE THING AND IF SOMEONE WILL DO THIS TO A DEFENSELESS ANIMAL THEY MAY DO IT TO A DEFENSELESS CHILD! This poor puppy didn't have a chance to fight back to a man with a fist and a rock! It just shows you what this man is capable of.

This is important to me because I would want people to stand up for my one of my dogs if this ever happened to them. My dogs are my babies my life even though there animals i love them just as much as if they were my offspring!

"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men." ~St. Francis of Assisi. Those who can cause such suffering in defenseless animals will have no issue with making humans suffer. They need to be taught their own lesson.

Today is the one year Anniversary of Karley's tragic beating at the hands of Mr. Johnson. No animal should ever have to be mistreated when all they want from us is love and protection.

My pet shares the same anniversary as Karley. My pet wasn't abused but I know the pain I feel right now at losing him.

This is horrific! If he does not get the maximum sentence that is just as digusting as what he did. the sentence should be longer than 4 years.

I'm writting this petiton in hope that mr Johnson be sentence for 4 years in prison for the murder of Karley. No one should hurt animal, Mr Johnson beat Karley to death because he wanted to kill her now because what he claim he was defending himself. If

This petition is very important to me because we have to have animal right against cruelty. if we don't have tougher laws against cruelty to animal, the person who abuse a animal are going to keep doing it. Imagine yourself being hurt and in extreme pain, animal feel pain too the differences is animal can't speak for themself. we have to speak for them. Mr JOHNSON BADLY BEAT THIS POOR PUPPY, I CANT IMAGE THE SUFFERING THIS PUPPY WHEN THROUGH. Just imagen someone hitting your head with a rock constantly over and over. he was murdering her not defending himself. PLEASE GIVE A MAXIMUM OF PRISON TERM OF 4 YEARS FOR THE MURDER OF KARLEY. Thank you Migdalia J.

I am a veterinary technician and have been working in animals hospitals since the age of 14. I am now 31 and I have seen many times over what happens to pets when people lose control. It is unfair and they are just as helpless as a child. They can't speak out about abuse and many people just turn their heads, this is a major problem in our socicety and should not be tolerated.

This is important to me because I have fought most of my life for humane and just tratment for animals. People who abuse animals have a direct link to child, spousal and elder abuse. No one should have to live their lives in fear, not even a pet.

This monster should be punished to the FULLEST extent of the law for what he did to that poor puppy. I am fed up with seeing these types of people being able to walk away from these types of crimes with nothing more than a slap on the wrist. I can ASSURE you that anyone who has the capability to do something like that, would not hesitate to harm another animal or human. People like that are SICK. Literally. They do not belong in civilized society. Please see that justice is done here for the sake of that poor puppy who suffered unimaginable pain. And for the family and witnesses who will have to suffer for the rest of their lives with the image of that poor puppy clinging to life and ultimately having to surrender. May God bless them and Karley.

This needs to be stopped, if this was a child, justice would be taken immediately, animals deserve the same.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion

I can't find the words for the heinous crime committed against Karley or her family. To attack a dog, a puppy, with such brutality shows this 'man' has deeper issues and I fear that he may turn to kids or anyone weaker than himself. But to then try and make money off of it by suing the victim's family is beyond comprehension.

The abuse of animals must stop and it must be taken as a serious crime.

Mr. Johnson needs to be punished to the full extent of the law for his disgusting actions! He's a liar and a murderer. And to think he even has the audacity to sue the victim's poor family... DISGUSTING! It is scary to think what this monster would do if someone looked at him the wrong way. This is exactly how sociopathic behaviors begin... hurting animals, then people, with no remorse... He needs to be stopped!

If somone would do that much damage to a dog, while supposedly helping people, cannot be trusted, he would do the same thing to a human if he had the chance.

All people need to learn that animals are not for kicking and punching and abusing, any abuse needs to come with mandatory sentences. I hate people hurting any defenseless dog, especially when they look at you as their master and with love.

I signed the first petition. The laws must be improved on animal abuse, there have been so many cases everywhere and no punishments.

It's important to be heard, to have a voice when cases such as this one is ignored and people have to resort to filing lawsuits to try to find justice. Thank-you.

There's NO excuse to beat a puppy to death. Dogs count on us to protect them. But there are evil people in this world. Many times serial killers, domstic violence batterers, evil people will abuse & murder helpless pets. We the only protection our pets have against those people. It's time crimes against animals are taken more seriously.

I firmly believe that any human being that would willfully inflict pain and or suffering on an innocent animal is capable of doing the same to another human being, its only a matter of time. There are many documented psychological cases that prove this. A sign of a sociopath for sure. Please bring the proper punishment to this person!

It is completely unacceptable monsters like Glynn Robinson are not held accountable for his monsterous cruelty. He is nothing but a murderer!

This petition is important to me because it is time we implement laws to deter beats from abusing animals. I would like to see a maximum sentence be upheld for felony cruelty. Although I do not think four years is nearly enough it would be a start. Animals have no voice they need us to speak for them.
