Open Letter to Hollywood’s Dog-Loving Stars and Fan Clubs We call on every actor, filmmaker, and devoted fan whose heart beats for our four-legged friends: Fenix, a white Shih Tzu in Norrköping, Sweden, is on the brink of execution—even though her attorney is fighting her case in the higher courts.
No dog deserves to lose her life before her day in court and all appeals finished. Your voice can change this. We write to you as voices of compassion and influence, calling on every actor, filmmaker, and devoted fan whose heart beats for our four-legged friends.
Fenix, a white Shih Tzu in Norrköping, Sweden, is facing an unjust fate: slated for euthanasia while her legal appeal remains pending. We believe no dog deserves execution before her case is fully heard.
The Urgent Case of Fenix Seized by Länsstyrelsen on March 21, 2025, and held for 113 calendar days without owner notification. Held from her family without notification and barred from the testimony of caregivers who know her wellbeing best. Her attorney is now fighting in the higher courts.
The Killing without a hearing scheduled for February 13, her very birthday. Yet Länsstyrelsen presses on, ignoring due process and the bond between a dog and her family. Attorney has appealed through the administrative system and is now in higher courts; a hearing awaits. Facing euthanasia orders while legal remedies remain unresolved to a healthy Dog.
Past tragedy: Lucy, another Shih Tzu, was killed after 31 days with zero notice to her family.The Owner or Caretaker could have saved her if contacted then.Lucy was fenix sister.
