A crazed One Direction fan allegedly broke her Chihuahua’s neck when her request to four of the five bandmates to follow her on Twitter went unanswered.
From the account @illumivato, which has since been suspended, the obsessed fan threatened "Follow me or I'll break my dog's neck," uploading a picture of herself pinning the dog on the ground by its neck.
Reports from South America say she followed up her unanswered tweet to specifically target Liam Payne when she said "I love you. Follow me. My dog has just died." She included a picture of herself crying and holding a dog she alleged to be dead.
Another One Direction fan has started a Change.org petition, which currently has 2,940 supporters.
She wrote, “@Illumivato (This is the girls twitter name): I want this person to be imprisoned! She is a threat to society!”
She also wrote, “I want to know why twitter has yet to stop this nonsense. Something needs to be done and I wont sleep until it is. I hope you as American citizens wont stand for this and will make this dark shadow come to light.”
Daily News notes the fan's name is not known and the band hasn't commented on the story.
