Approximately 359,000 dogs are euthanized in US shelters each year, according to Shelter Animals Count. This figure represents a significant portion of the 7.6 million companion animals entering shelters annually, with dogs making up roughly 3.9 million of those intakes, according to Community Care College. While a large number of dogs are adopted, a substantial percentage is still euthanized due to factors like overcrowding and lack of resources.

Please sign, write the Judge and ASA!
Roger Elder got in his truck specifically looking for Chase, found him, then intentionally ran him over, killing him in cold blood. This was no accident. It was a deliberate, malicious act of cruelty.
According to the police report, Elder showed no remorse, stating: “I wish the dog was alive so I could kill the dog again.” Photo of the statement is in the petition.
Please also send a respectful email to the Judge and ASA asking for the strongest possible sentence. My email is below with the following headline: Request for Strongest Possible Sentence in Animal Cruelty Case (Roger Elder, 2025MM001973)

Dear Judge Wansboro and Assistant State Attorney Amos,
I am writing to you as a concerned citizen, animal advocate, and founder of an Animal Justice Task Force dedicated to following and tracking animal cruelty cases across our state. The case involving Roger Elder (2025MM001973) is particularly disturbing.

Roger Elder went out looking for Chase, found him, then intentionally ran him over, killing him in cold blood. This was no accident. It was a deliberate, malicious act of cruelty. According to the police report, Elder showed no remorse, stating: “I wish the dog was alive so I could kill the dog again.”

The written confession leaves no doubt as to his guilt. Such horrifying callousness reveals a disturbing lack of empathy and a dangerous mindset that cannot be ignored.

Animal cruelty is a horrific act that not only causes extreme suffering to innocent animals but is also often a red flag for violence toward humans. Extensive research and documentation show a strong link between animal abuse and other forms of violence and criminal behavior. Protecting animals from harm is also a vital step in safeguarding our communities from further violence.

Such acts of violence against defenseless animals cannot be tolerated or minimized. I respectfully request that you seek and impose the strongest possible sentence under Florida law for this offense. Sending a clear message that animal abuse will not be accepted is essential for both animal welfare and public safety.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter and for your commitment to justice for the voiceless.

I found two of these in my yard in the last 8 hours!!
Why Bufo (Cane) Toads Are Dangerous to Pets in Florida
Bufo toads are highly toxic invasive amphibians found throughout Florida, especially in warm, humid areas. They secrete a powerful toxin from glands behind their eyes that can be deadly to dogs and cats, even in small amounts.

Why They’re So Dangerous:
The Toxin: When a pet bites or mouths the toad, the toad releases a milky-white poison. It acts rapidly—absorbed through the mucous membranes of the mouth.

Toxic Effects: This toxin affects the heart, nervous system, and can cause:

Excessive drooling or foaming at the mouth

Reddened gums

Seizures

Vomiting

Disorientation or stumbling

Collapse or death in severe cases

Time is Critical: Symptoms can begin within minutes, and death can occur in less than 30 minutes without treatment.

What To Do If Your Dog Grabs a Bufo Toad:
Act Immediately.

Do NOT wait for symptoms to appear.

Rinse the Mouth Out Thoroughly.

Use a hose or wet cloth to flush your dog’s mouth, especially the gums, tongue, and roof of the mouth.

Tilt your dog’s head downward to prevent water from being swallowed.

Call Your Veterinarian or an Emergency Vet Immediately.

Let them know you suspect Bufo toad poisoning.

Many Florida vets are familiar with the protocol and may provide antitoxin medications or other supportive care.

Monitor Closely.

Watch for signs like pawing at the mouth, vomiting, seizures, or collapse.

Don’t delay veterinary care even if your dog seems okay at first.

Preventive Tips:
Supervise pets outdoors, especially at night, when Bufo toads are most active.

Remove standing water and food bowls from patios or yards—these attract toads.

Train your dog to avoid toads, or consider using a leash if you're in a high-risk area.

Know what they look like: Bufo toads are large (4–6 inches), brownish, with bumpy skin and triangular glands behind the eyes.

Bottom Line:
Bufo toads are an emergency for pets. Fast action and veterinary care can save your dog’s life. If you live in Florida, knowing the signs and having a plan in place could make all the difference.
