Maximum Sentence for Donkey Mutilators!
In Northwest Travis County, two men were charged with mutilating pet donkeys. A woman had raised miniature donkeys for more than a decade on her property in Northwest Travis County. On December tenth, the woman got a call at work from a neighbor who said her two female donkeys appeared dead. She raced home. She had raised those donkeys for 14 years. Both were pregnant. And both, it appeared, had been butchered.
One donkey, her name was Teesa, had her head completely severed.
Initially, a deputy believed a pack of wild dogs may have been the culprit, possibly a mountain lion.
But further questioning led the investigation elsewhere.
One of the donkey's heads was missing from the gruesome scene.
And residents said someone in the neighborhood was showing off the remains.
"It boiled down to people bragging about what they had done to the right person and that person came forward," said Roger Wade, Travis County Sheriff's Department.
Wednesday afternoon, KVUE News was in the neighborhood where the crime happened when deputies showed up to arrest Hancock. Johnsted had not been arrested as of Wednesday evening. Both men are charged with cruelty to animals - a state jail felony.
That's six months to two years in jail and up to a ten thousand dollar fine. Bond was set at $30,000 dollars.
Please sign this signature to ensure that these heinous abusers get the maximum sentence for their crimes. These donkeys were this woman's children, no more so than our dogs and cats are our children. Nothing can bring her children back, but by signing this petition, you are sending a message loud and clear that animals deserve the same respect and justice under the law!

¡¡¡¡ NO TORTUREN A LOS ANIMALES......TORTUREN A LOS HUMANOSSSSSS!!!!!
people...
Basta de asesinatos de animales, y a los criminales que sus vidas acaben en la cárcel para que nunca más puedan volver a matar, primero empiezan con animales y acaban con personas. JUSTICIA.
JAIL WOULD SEEM TO CUSHY FOR THESE SICK MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE. ANIMAL CRUELTY ALWAYS LEADS TO HUMAN ABUSE. SEND A MESSAGE THAT CRUELTY TO ANIMALS WILL COST YOUR FREEDOM AND START TAKING IT SERIOUSLY! WE DON'T NEED ANYMORE TWISTED PEOPLE RUNNING LOSE IN THE COMMUNITY.
Six months to two years is hardly enough punishment for these butchers, but all decent, caring people will take whatever the maximum punishment is allowed. Shame on these monsters!
What a pair of wicked, evil B@..@..., Throw the book at them, unfortunately the book isnt hard enough. DESPICABLE !!!
Pues me parece una verdadera barbaridad, Haver si aCABAMOS CON ESTO
This is not only a crime against these poor mutilated creatures, but destruction of personal property, trespassing and a multitude of violations. People who get away with such acts are invited to take a bite out of karma - for it will come back to you...
Sadistic people, who torture and kill animals should be shot. They will never change. These twisted minds feel pleasure and power when they are killing innocent and helpless creatures.I would at least lock them up forever and throw away the key. It was plain cruelty to kill the pets of the woman who raised them...Don't matter what kind of pet, we're talking about living sentient being - exactly what those two idiots are not.
Sick-minded people do sick-minded things. Lock them up, because they won't stop at this vile act.
En contra de esos asesinos qur hacen llamarse humanos
I hope they get the max in jail time...The Lord will take over once they are out of jail...
me parece increible que en el siglo XXI pasene stas cosas. deberia estar penado con carcel el maltrato animal.

Atrocidad!!! Los humanos somos muy perversos!!!
Please do not let people think that they can get away with hurting innocent creatures. It's time for everyone to open their eyes and start speaking out for those who cannot do it.
