Teen Mom 2 fans are calling for the end of the MTV show after Jenelle Evans' husband, David Eason, admitted to shooting and killing her French Bulldog last week.
Following Eason's admission that he killed Nugget, there has been an uproar not only from fans, but legally, as law enforcement, Animal Control and Child Protective Services have all reportedly begun to investigate the death of the dog, as well as the danger posed to Evans and her three children.
MTV, however, has remained publicly silent on the matter, prompting fans to take to Twitter and call for the show to be canceled if the issue is not addressed and Evans fired.
@MTV @TeenMom @mjfree @Viacom it’s time to take them off tv. Child and animal abuse are not entertainment. David Eason is a liability and getting worse by the day. @PBandJenelley_1 needs to be fired from Teen Mom 2. #firejenelle #boycottmtv #cancelteenmom2

MTV needs to address this issue with Jenelle. You're only making yourselves look worse the longer you wait!!! You're losing sponsors now because of the bad habits that she enables by staying with him. She needs to be fired if she's not going to leave David their safety
