PETITION TARGET: Sevier County District Attorney Jimmy Dunn
A 9-week-old baby marmoset monkey died an agonizing death inside a brutally hot car, locked up with no way to escape, while his guardian was cooling down at a Tennessee water park, according to local police.
Another 5-week-old baby monkey trapped in the car barely survived the traumatizing ordeal, with veterinarians administering emergency medical care at the Appalachian Animal Hospital saying he was “very dehydrated.”
Police who arrived at the Soaky Mountain Waterpark in Sevierville, Tenn., on a day when external temperatures topped 87 degrees found the one marmoset dead and the 5-week-old in severe distress inside the vehicle.
At that temperature, it takes only 30 minutes for the environment inside an enclosed car to reach over 100 degrees. When temperatures outside climb to between 80 and 100 degrees, the internal temperature can reach a scorching 130 to 172 degrees.
Police have charged two suspects — Nova Brettell, 54, and David Paul Brettell, 54, of Warsaw, Indiana — with aggravated animal cruelty. Additional charges are possible.
Sign this petition urging Sevier County District Attorney Jimmy Dunn to prosecute this heinous crime to the fullest extent of the law, including a ban on ever again having animals.
sick people
Sadistic selfish humans have no business even having a pet
Sadistic selfish humans have no business even having a oet
These Two should NEVER be allowed to have any pets of ANY kind. They are not responsible people and have no common sense.
These animals should never be pets and shouldl have been left in their natural habitats. No animal deserves to die like this
Selfish man desires Justice!
Anyone who does this to a helpless innocent animal should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and be charged with a felony. No slap on the wrist. No community service. And no short stent in jail. Their names should go into a National Database for they will never be allowed to own another pet ever. This is Despicable. Barbaric. Vile. It is time in our society anyone such a helpless innocent animal in any cool fashion should be punished by spending at least seven years in prison. When you stink about what happens to a body in that situation every organ shuts down slowly it is an agonizing squishy ating painful death.
I am urging Sevier County District Attorney Jimmy Dunn to prosecute this heinous crime to the fullest extent of the law, including a ban on ever again having animals.
This us beyond cruel and disgusting.
Please keep them safe these animals deserve love
Horrible!
This is not rocket science! They knew no animal belongs in a hot car at all but especially in this kind of weather! Why would you even want to??? Monkeys are not meant to be pets either so t I at is another concern! They were both babies! They needed extra care not being left alone!! Crazy!!! They need proper, severe consequences!!!
Maximum possible. They murdered this poor animal and left those two in the hot car while they cooled off!! Selfish human beings once again!
Horrible
We need to put ourselves in our animals shoes
This is disgusting, and they should never be allowed animals again! The highest possible punishment should be administered for this cruelty!
This incident is truly horrendous. No animal should be left in a car at any time without supervision of their needs. I urge the authorities to issue the maximum custodial sentence to the individuals who recklessly and thoughtlessly left these poor animals to suffer.
Heartbreaking
self humans totally brainless that they could
do this. they must be punished
All life is precious and we are all animals
Horrendous Can’t imagine how the sweet pea
must have been feeling
Thoughtless act of cruelty right there
These brain dead morons need jail time. Those poor babies need some justice.
so sad
No animals should be left in any vehicle
Please hold these individuals accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Why are we allowing people to own exotic wild animals, especially persons clearly not qualified to own any living, breathing creature.
No monkey should be left in a car left to be cooked to death this is so wrong ..
What a terrible way to die – and totally unnecessary!
So sad
Heartbreaking!
These ignorant evil people should be made to wear a fur coat and sit in the hot car for a few hours and see how they feel.
Should not be aloud to have any other animals. Heavy penalty to be paid.
Absolutely just horrendous
Disgusting sub humans locked them up
Absolute shocking cruelty how very sad poor baby.Karma is coming for you evile

People have NO brains anymore!! Cruel and heartless bastards.
Unconscionable!!!
They say that humans have larger brains but where is the evidence. Please prevent this wicked fool from ever keeping another animal. Ignorance of this magnitude is dangerous.
Same should be done to them the evil fuckstains!!
Unspeakable cruelty and callous indifference. This person should never be permitted to own another animal.
Barbaric
They ought to be ashamed of themselves. Inexcusable cruelty.
Why are people allowed to sell or keep monkeys as pets …. No words except punishment
