Help Taylor Launch Herbert's Hope for Pets

Hi, my name is Taylor Fehr.

On the 14th, my cat was intentionally killed.

The neighbor children, who we’ve had issues with for years, stole a car and waited outside my house to hit my cat. (We have 4 witnesses.)

They parked outside of my home

with a stolen vehicle,

waited, and when they saw my cat, accelerated enough to melt the ice on my street

and ran him over.

I fully believe their intention was one of my kids, but the only thing they had access to was my cat. (I am so grateful it wasn’t my kids but so heartbroken it was my best friend.)

Immediately after, one of the children who planned this

came, stood in front of my house, taunted, and laughed at me.

I was outside in 18°F weather for 4 hours looking for my cat.

When we found him,

I broke.

I am not the same.

He loved sweaters.

He loved Cool Ranch Doritos.

He hated fish.

He knew how to fetch, sit, shake, and came to his name. He was leash trained,

fully vaccinated, fixed, and microchipped.

I did everything right.

They threatened my kids and my pets with death on numerous occasions,

along with stealing items from my property and from my friends' properties.

They’ve destroyed my blessing box,

ruined food for those less fortunate,

screamed insults at me from my front lawn,

cussed my husband out.

I have school records, police records, and video

for the entirety of the time they were in this park.

I was embarrassed and berated by people who I thought were my friends for calling the police for my family's safety.

I contacted the mother/father of these children. No matter how many times I talked with her or her boyfriend, nothing was done, and their behavior got more and more out of control.

Hell, I’ve even fed these kids, given them toys, and looked for them when they were lost.

And now they’ve taken my best friend.

He was only 7 years old. He was my E.S.A. for my severe C.P.T.S.D.

due to C.S.A.

I rescued him from a hoarding situation where the mother cat was literally feeding off of her babies,

but he really rescued me.

I’m going to be taking this to small claims court and pressing charges on their parents for everything.

This is a classic case of not only harassment but threats of bodily harm and now the killing of a service animal.

We’ve already contacted the authorities, and not only did they get released, one of the children immediately started to harass me.

CPS was contacted, and nothing was done.

I’ve contacted the A.S.P.C.A. animal abuse criminal investigation.

They said I had to wait for the sheriff, yet nothing was done.

I will be contacting the attorney general.

He needs justice, and I need closure.

That's why I've decided to start a rescue and grant in his name.

"Herbert’s Hope" the rescue

and grant called

"Herbert’s Heart"

where we will provide funds for necessary healthcare and, in the worst cases, cremation.

I have also written a petition to introduce a bill called

"Herbert's Clause"

a petition to give more penalties and punishments to those who abuse animals starting at age 10, and a clause that makes parents more accountable for their child’s actions!

We can bring light to similar cases and show people it’s okay to fight for their pets! And it is not okay to take no accountability!

Please donate to support my ventures for this project and help many pets and others going through similar circumstances.

Thank you for reading!

And please sign the petition if you can! Let's make a difference!
