Petitioning: Jackie Godbey – Director of Stark County Humane Society; Stark County Sheriff’s Office
Antonio Torres works / volunteers with the Stark County Humane Society of Ohio. Although he has not gotten in any sorts of trouble at work, some recent photos uploaded on social media have left many people scratching their heads. In the light of these pictures, I firmly believe Mr. Torrres should not be working with the Humane Society anymore. Please sign the petition to ensure this man is dismissed as soon as possible, because having him anywhere near an animal is extremely dangerous.
In one photo posted online, his daughter is seen mishandling a puppy – by grabbing the pet by his scruff and smiling towards the camera.
A responsible father and true animal lover would have immediately sanctioned this gesture, yet alone take a photo of the daughter and act like nothing was wrong. But the story does not end here – it seems like Mr. Torres is also running a breeding operation.
As of yet, it is uncertain that he has a permit for such activities. I firmly believe the last thing the Humane Society wants is for one of their employees to be an illegal / backyard puppy breeder.
As soon as one concerned member of the public posted these photos on several groups and pages dedicated to animal welfare, Mr. Torres reached out to that person and made repeated and substantial threats.
Since none of this actually pursued the person to take the photos down, Antonio Torres shockingly admitted that the photos were actually a good thing, because he has been receiving far more calls for his puppy breeding business.
Such types of people should never be allowed to work for such a prestigious organization like the Humane Society. The fundamental mission of this entity is to protect and serve the animals, not mistreat them.
Mr. Torres needs to be investigated as soon as possible and if proven guilty, he must be fired and handed over to the relevant authorities for prosecution.
Please take action now to ensure a thorough and honest investigation begins in this case. We, the undersigned, sincerely hope that animal welfare constitutes a priority for authorities in Ohio and therefore our concerns will not be ignored.
