Six weeks.

SIX FLIPPING WEEKS.

Lucy has not heard our voices. She hasn't slept on her rug. She hasn't gone for a ride in the truck. She hasn't been snuggled by her family, played with Lex, or run free in her own field.

SIX WEEKS.

She's been locked in a tiny cell, sleeping on concrete, likely wondering why we abandoned her.

SIX WEEKS.

She's eleven years old. She doesn't have endless time ahead of her. She could get sick. Her health could fail. Every day matters.

And while everyone moves at a snail's pace, without a care in the world, time keeps slipping away from MY DOG—the dog who was taken because a petty neighbor decided to call the authorities when she slipped out of her collar in our OWN YARD!

This wasn't some outrageous act! This wasn't a purposeful violation of anything and didn’t cause incident. This wasn't the terrifying incident the neighbors or government would like people to believe it was.

It was a normal, everyday occurrence that happened on our private property!

We could have lied. We could have denied it happened. No one had proof otherwise:

But that's not who we are.

So for six weeks, my Lucy—my eleven-year-old dog who stood watch over our family through deployment after deployment, who kept me company during the lonely nights when I watched the news and wondered if my husband would make it home alive—has sat in prison.

This is a sick abuse of the law, and an innocent animal is paying the price.

Not for biting someone.
Not for attacking someone.
Not for leaving and roaming the neighborhood.
For being in her own yard.

Let that sink in.

And because malicious neighbors refused to mind their own business, and because officials with the power to do the right thing have refused to exercise any bit of common sense, she remains there.

They make me sick.

The abuse of power makes me sick.

The character assassination makes me sick.

The lies make me sick.

The fact that people who have never met us, never spoken to us, and don't know the first thing about our family have spent years trying to destroy our peace makes me sick.

Enough is enough!

Let Lucy come home already! Is this really the hill anyone wants to die on? It’s a single dog. It’s an average family. Send her back and leave us alone. That’s all we want.

And for those who have participated in this injustice—whether through malice, cowardice, pride, or indifference, know this:

God sees every bit of it.
He knows the truth.
And one day, every one of us will answer to Him.

Until our Lucy is home and beyond. We will not stop fighting.

This is what entitlement looks like! 🤬
There are nesting waterbirds on this pond on Hampstead Heath... there are also big 'No Swimming' signs, all being totally ignored! 🤬
Pure selfishness... 😒🤬🤬

Thanks to Law Enforcement Today for shining a light on the way the justice system is being weaponized to hurt my family and dog.

🚨STARVED HER DOG TO DEATH LOCKED UP IN A CAGE

KIANA MYER JONES, 23.
MANCHESTER

MAKE HER FAMOUS

A selfish dog owner has been banned from keeping pets for five years after leaving her French bulldog to starve to death in a cage - with just one custard cream biscuit for food.

Kiana Myers-Jones, 23, of Wythenshawe left her pet pooch, known as Coco or Cali to die from starvation and dehydration while locked up in a small cage.

Manchester Magistrates Court heard that RSPCA Inspector Beth Fazackerley attended Myers-Jones’ address on January 10, 2025 and found the dog dead inside a metal crate in the hallway.

Coco was lying in a pool of brown liquid, with only a single custard cream biscuit inside the crate. There was no dog food or water inside.

Tests later found no underlying disease to explain the weight loss other than prolonged food deprivation; evidence suggested the dog had been eating non-food items due to extreme hunger.

Myers-Jones, of Manchester, admitted causing unnecessary suffering to her dog and failing to meet its basic welfare needs.

In addition to the five-year ban on keeping animals, magistrates sentenced her to a 12-month community order with 10 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement (RAR) days.

She was also fined £126 and ordered to pay £400 costs at a sentencing hearing on 20 February.

The court heard that after finding Coco in the crate, RSPCA Insp Fazackerley took the dog's body to RSPCA Greater Manchester Animal Hospital for veterinary examination.

The examination found the dog weighed just 8kg and had a body condition score of only 2 out of 9; a healthy dog should score 5.

The court heard that the dog had been left confined in the crate without food, water, bedding or adequate care for several days.

Veterinary evidence stated that its suffering would have progressed over several weeks, causing weakness, hunger, muscle wastage and significant distress prior to its death.

Following the sentencing, RSPCA Inspector Beth Fazackerley said: "This was a heartbreaking case.

"Coco/Cali was entirely dependent on his owner for food, water and care, and he suffered greatly when those basic needs were not met.

"Dogs cannot fend for themselves. If an owner is struggling, whether financially or personally, it is vital that they seek help immediately or make arrangements for the animal to be properly cared for.

"Leaving a dog confined without food or water is simply unacceptable."

Anyone struggling to care for their pet is urged to seek help. Animal welfare charities, including the RSPCA, can offer guidance and support to prevent situations from reaching crisis point.

I ran for Scottish Parliament dressed as a giant Gannet bird to raise awareness to end the Guga hunt. 4 week campaign to get as much publicity as possible.

And it’s worked! Footage on prime time BBC and ITV evening news, and dozens more interviews.

[Dog Desk Animal Action @DogDeskAction]

Animal welfare systems are collapsing.

Rescue isn’t enough anymore.
Spay & neuter alone isn’t enough anymore.
The deeper we went into animal welfare, the less simple it became.

So we spoke to our regulator.

What happened next made Dog Desk Animal Action stronger

In August 2024, Turkey introduced a law to remove stray dogs from the streets and place them into shelters.

149,000 have died there since.

We are working inside this reality.

This is what it looks like 👇

Let's be clear @networkrail, #swifts cause no damage. They don't make their nest holes, they just find a crevice. They're a critically endangered urban nesting bird. Why have you blocked them out? #Arch3 #saveourswifts #unblockthenests @WriterHannahBT

[dominic dyer @domdyer70]

Some swifts returning to Britain to breed will be unable to access their ancestral nesting holes after they were blocked in a £7.5m refurbishment of a Derbyshire railway viaduct, campaigners say.

Nature lovers had appealed to Network Rail to unblock three holes which were among at least nine swift nesting sites on the twin viaducts at Chapel Milton, on the edge of the Peak District

[Jo Jo 🇺🇦 @jojoginge]

@networkrail Unblock the swift nesting areas ...
Stop being 💩 heads

[Joanne Smith @EnviroconJo]

Please sign & share the petition to unblock #swift nests at Milton Viaduct. It seems that shaming @networkrail may be the only way to make them do the right thing. Nest holes must be unblocked IMMEDIATELY. https://t.co/ItSBwVKweZ

[Hannah Bourne-Taylor @birdshannah]

#NetworkRail are getting bogged down in their own justifications but the point is that the swift nesting sites are blocked and they can unblock them. 📧email CEO Jeremy Westlake asking him to unblock them: [email protected] #SaveOurSwifts #UnblockTheNests

[Susan @sueblueocean.bsky.social 💙🇺🇦💚🇵🇸🕊️ @Sueblueocean]

Despite alerting @networkrail to this situation yesterday no assurances have been given to unblock the swift nests. Swift arrival to the UK is imminent. Red listed birds @ChrisGPackham @WriterHannahBT @MeganMcCubbin @ProtectTheWild_ @Protect_Wldlife

Hey, @sainsburys - those wicked nets of yours have caught this stunning gull at your store at Hardwick, King’s Lynn.

It’s panicking and in full sun. Staff say ‘it’s been reported’ but they can’t do anything.

Ridiculous.
