Travis Archer Beat A Puppy So Savagely That An Animal Cruelty Law Was Created, But He Is Able To Own A Pet Again

In 2017, Travis Archer beat his Labrador retriever puppy, Ponce, so savagely that Ponce died. The attack was so brutal that a law was enacted in the puppy's name. While Ponce's Law has helped strengthen punishments for animal abuse-related crimes, it has a weak spot which has allowed this monster to have the opportunity to own, and possibly abuse, a pet again.

In December 2020, a Florida court overturned Archer's lifetime ban on pet ownership - claiming that the ban could not extend beyond the three years of his probation.

People like Travis Archer should not be allowed to own a pet - ever. Please sign today as we petition the state to revise Ponce's Law to include a lifetime ban on pet ownership for all people who are convicted of an animal abuse-related crime.

In April 2017, Travis Archer stabbed and beat his nine-month-old puppy to death. The puppy was brutally attacked - beaten with a rope and thrown into a wall. “It was a bloody scene,” Police Chief Frank Fabrizio said. “Very sad, this sub-human should never be able to own an animal again."

Animal abusers like Travis Archer should never be given the opportunity to own a pet again. Ponce suffered a horrific fate at this man's hands, and because of a nuance of the existing law, he will have the opportunity to do it again.

This is your chance to let the courts know that convicted animal abusers do not deserve to ever own a pet again. We will present your signatures and comments to the state, along with a demand for Ponce's Law to be revised to include a lifetime pet ownership ban for all convicted animal abusers.

Sick excuse for a human. Should be locked away for life. Poor Ponce had no chance to protect himself against this monster!

This is a travesty! He should be charged with felony animal abuse. He is a danger to others, a sadistic torturer who could move to people. He should never be anywhere near animals or children. Lock him up!

This person should one hundred percent NEVER be able to own a pet again! This is an disgusting act of cruel abuse of an animal. I strongly feel anyone who abuses animals should be punishable to the same degree as abuse towards a child. Animals are completely helpless as well. This person or persons should be changed with jail time, have a permanent criminal record, be changed with large money fine, have to complete community service and should never be allowed to own or be around animals EVER AGAIN!!

I urge you to ask yourself just how honorable it is to preside over the abuse and suffering of animals. He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.

Do not allow this person to have another pet. He has no right to have access to another pet.

He did it once, he will do it again. No convicted animal abuser should ever be allowed to own, care for, or be anywhere near another animal for the rest of their lives. Leopards don’t change their spots, an abuser will always be an abuser.
