On January 30 2009, Juan Daniels was sentenced to 9 years in prison for the horrific cruelty he inflicted on his family’s dog, now known as Louis Vuitton. He was convicted of felony animal cruelty. It was the longest sentence ever given for animal cruelty in the history of Alabama. Juan Daniels chained, beat, and set his dog on fire because he wasn’t allowed to drive the family car. He is now up for parole. The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles will consider his case on August 24 2010.
NO! This man should not be allowed parole. Eighteen months behind bars is way too short for someone who channeled a lifetime of anger and hate into horrific cruelty against the family pet. Come on, if he is going to have that sort of reaction to being denied use of the family car, what’s going to happen when something else pisses him off. He has a problem with authority – being told “NO” – and he shows it. Violently.
The Parole Board reads all letters sent to them concerning these cases. They become a permanent part of the inmates file. 
This is a call for action. Please write the parole board and ask he remain behind bars. Be polite but firm. He is not ready to be paroled.
The letters should be sent to:
The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles
PO Box 302405, Montgomery, Alabama 36130
The letter should reference: “Juan Daniels, AIS#263875″

And what is Louis Vuitton doing now? Loving life. He thankfully has no emotional scars, only physical ones. But that hasn’t diminished his happy outlook on life. Check out his YouTube Channel. Only smiles for this boy now.
This guy got a 9 yr sentence. He has sevrved less than 2 yrs. Why on earth is he being considered for parole. The longer I live, the more I KNOW, the US criminal justice system is a joke. The only population it serves, is the criminal one. What percentage of our tax dollar goes to support jails, prisons, parole, probation, welfare to support the families of criminals? It makes me angry that we have to keep on taking action, every year or so, to keep this monster in prison for his full sentence.
I am speechless!
But here is my response. Please feel free to make it your own–DON'T use it word for word but by all means, write to this board, immediately!

RE: “Juan Daniels, AIS#263875?
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am writing to strongly urge you to reject this person’s request for parole. The reasons are obvious and indisputable.
On January 30 2009, Juan Daniels was sentenced to 9 years in prison for the horrific cruelty he inflicted on his family’s dog, now known as Louis Vuitton. He was convicted of felony animal cruelty. It was the longest sentence ever given for animal cruelty in the history of Alabama. Juan Daniels chained, beat, and set his dog on fire because he wasn’t allowed to drive the family car. He is now up for parole. The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles will consider his case on August 24 2010.
NO! This man should not be allowed parole.
Animals are helpless and innocent like children. What defense does a dog have against an out-of-control maniac?
People as dangerous as Juan Daniels should be removed from civilized society as long as possible. No one could convince me that 18 months has been a sufficient sentence for the horrific crime he committed. Remember this, people that lack empathy and the obvious ability to control their emotions don’t generally just beat the hell out of and torture the family dog. They eventually turn their volatility to human beings. Could you live with yourselves knowing that somewhere down the road this drain on oxygen explodes on an innocent child? Do I have your attention now?
Please! I realize prisons are bursting at the seams with inmates. If you need to parole some because of lack of space, choose those who have not physically HARMED another living being. Please!
Thank you for considering my request.

I am happy Daniels received an appropriate sentence for this crime(at least compared to the sentences other abusers are serving). I would like to see more sentences such as this given to those who believe it is ok to abuse animals. I urge everyone to send correspondance to the Alabama Parole Board.
Susan T, I thank you, so very much, for your letter, above, which will serve as a wonderful example to those of us who need help in writing such letters.
Personally, I want this subhuman POS to rot, fully, until even his bones are sand…
Scarlet, you are welcome!
I know, it's very hard to not hate and wish the most horrible things on people like him. But, over the years I've learned to channel my hatred into positive, compassionate action. One is always tempted to ask…"What happened to cause this person to be so damaged and full of anger?" He was once a tiny, innocent child. What happened along the way? Whatever happened surely cannot serve as an excuse(there aren't any!) for his behavior. He has relinquished his right to live "free" among law-abiding, civilized people.
HE MUST SERVE HIS FULL SENTENCE AND NEVER, EVER BE ALLOWED TO OWN OR BE AROUND ANOTHER ANIMAL AGAIN!
Please do write! And thank you so much for caring!
–Susan
Susan….an individual who can do something like this was born wicked! They are called sociopaths and are unable to feel empathy or remorse for what they do! It has NOTHING to do with thier upbringing or the fact that they are products of thier environments! Serial killers and murderers and rapists ALL share this trait and nothing, absolutely nothing you do can help them! THERE IS NO REHABILITATION for shit stains like him! So I do believe I can hate someone like this! And as a child, there were surely signs of his sickness then!! Hopefully, he will piss someone in prison aff and be done away with!!
You know his family won't take him back. I'm sure they're terrified of him. So where will this waste of space go when he's released? Well, he might be YOUR NEW NEIGHBOR. Think about it. Do you want him next door to YOU?? Keep him inside his cell! Stop thinking "no, I don't have to worry, he won't be in MY BACKYARD" because he just might!
I have written to them, please keep me informed because I live in Canada and do not receive updates from news sources
Anything short of 9 years is a travesty , thank God the poor pup is OK . I always say there was probably a lot more abuse previously , this is not a normal reaction to anything. What a low life shit bag , if they let him out , he will probable revisit soon.
What i would really like to say is hold this idiot down face first , pour gas in his ass then ignite him
This guy is a walking time bomb. Better keep him walking among those who are more able to defend themselves or keep him away. Best that he not be allowed out in public society forever but as that won't work then he certainly should not be given parole. I cannot even fathom why he is being considered for parole. Have written hard copy as well as emailed and sent it on to all my dog yahoo groups, rescue groups, transport groups as well as general AR contacts. If we all write, and post, hopefully there will be so many letters to the parole board in his file that they will need carts to carry them. There is no defense for what he did, none. He should fell extremely lucky that all he got was nine years and does not live in a country that follows the eye for an eye system of justice.
For those who have asked "what's the connection" between burning a dog and risk to human life?? See this Article:
http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2009/03/03…
(A father convicted of dousing his own 2-year-old daughter with gasoline and lighting her on fire a decade ago in east Mesa will get a second chance later this month to avoid the death penalty. He walked back to his car as he left her burning, crawling & calling to him)
I have read this story on several e-mails and i suppose that there are people who think Juan can be rehabed. This kid is a "walking timebomb" and his next targets will be people.
I sent both letters & emails. This MONSTER deserves the maximum penalty. We as a civilized society won't give him the punishment he TRULY DESERVES, which would be the same pain & torture he caused Louis, so keeping him locked up is the best we can do.
I think if Mr. Daniels can do this to an animal he can do this to a human. Thinking of an act of this nature is sick. Juan Daniels needs mental help. No way should this man be set free out in the world. He needs to finish his sentence out with mental treatment.
If a piece of crap like this doesn't care about his family anymore than he has exhibited. If he can torture a defenseless dog, that loves unconditionally, almost to death. He deserves to offer himself as a loving sweetheart to like-minded people in our prison system for the rest of his life.
Dear Susan:
I was elated when I heard Juan Daniels was sentenced to nine years in prison for this horrific crime! For many, many years, kind, compassionate and caring animal advocates have been trying to get stiffer penalties for animal abuse and neglect. I was happy to hear that Alabama took precedent when a judge handed out a sentence more in line with the crime committed. For so long, animal abusers have been getting away with minimal sentences, no sentences or small fines for the abuse or neglect they inflict on these poor defenseless animals. For once, the time fits the crime!!!
Why would Juan Daniels even be considered for parole if he has only served nineteen months of his nine year sentence? This hardly seems like justice! I am begging you go reconsider not releasing him until he has done his time – ALL NINE YEARS! What he did was horrific and by allowing him the satisfaction of parole so soon in his sentence speaks volumes for how Alabama feels about animal cruelty! These poor animals have no one to speak up for them but us! Please help our cause! He did the crime so let him serve his time!
Thanks for hearing my concerns!

Hi all
BE sure to read ANDREA's up date on this Case (8/25 BLOG) as well as others … FOR our BOY Juan Daniels….NO PAROLE … YAY!!!!! .
Next chance for him to even apply … JULY 2012 ….. Mark your calendar!! Looks like for once some sort of justice may prevail.
First off, I don't know how I missed this story. This inhuman POS is worthless on this earth. I have no idea why we even bother to waste taxpayer's money on prosecuting and sending him to already overcrowded prisons. I agree with Terry. Pour gasoline on him and set him on fire. Rid the world of trash like this. No forgiveness for this garbage in the least!
Did he get paroled? I am not sure where to search on the site. Need an update. And, BTW, I do think the Family will take this POS back after his release. Even if they cared for the dog, they will in their minds make excuses for his behavior and even blame themselves for it. They don't realize this man is a threat to them, this time it was this helpless animals, next time, it could be them.
His parole was denied.
No parol for this guy make him complete his sentence, people who take out there anger on animals should pay the price.
