Demand Justice for Puppy Tied to Truck and Dragged onto Highway
By Billie HassimTarget: The community of St. Louis, Missouri
Goal: Find and convict individual(s) responsible for tying puppy to the back of a truck and was dragged onto highway
Recently, a puppy from St. Louis, Missouri faced an abominable act of cruelty. This puppy was heartlessly tied to the back of a truck where he was dragged onto a highway. The person(s) responsible for this act have yet to be found and properly punished. Action must be taken in order to spread awareness and find whoever committed such a crime against this defenseless puppy.
The victim of this horrendous crime is a 5-month-old puppy named Trooper. He was dragged down the highway for about 1.6 miles before the owner of the truck was alerted by another driver. The owner of the truck immediately stopped and called 911; the owner of the truck had no idea who tied Trooper to his truck or how Trooper got there in the first place.
Trooper is currently being cared for by the Humane Society of Missouri. Numerous veterinarians claim that Trooper is extremely fortunate to be alive given what he has gone through. Trooper sustained several injuries and burns to his face, ears, shoulders, legs and right side of his body. As of right now, he might have to have one of his legs amputated.
In addition to the injuries Trooper sustained from being dragged on the highway, there are signs of abuse prior to the incident. Those who are working with Trooper have strong reasons to believe that he was already a victim of abuse before he was even tied to the back of the truck. Trooper was so malnourished when he received treatment that his bones were visible through his fur.
Despite everything that has happened to him, Trooper continues to fight; his body may suffer from several injuries but his spirit is not broken. Justice must be attained for Trooper. The individual(s) responsible for the abuse against Trooper must be found and punished to the fullest extent. Sign and share the petition below to help find those responsible for Trooper’s pain and to ensure that the individual(s) responsible suffer the full consequences for their horrendous acts of animal abuse and cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear community of St. Louis, Missouri,
Recently, a puppy was a victim of extreme animal abuse and cruelty. This puppy, Trooper, was tied to the back of truck and dragged onto a highway for about 1.6 miles before he was able to receive medical attention. He was severely injured from this ordeal, but he is making a slow recovery thanks to the Humane Society of Missouri. The individual(s) responsible for these heinous and inhumane acts are still out there and unpunished. The Humane Society of Missouri and local law enforcement are working diligently to find whoever did this to Trooper.
Despite their continued efforts to find those responsible, the Humane Society of Missouri and local law enforcement cannot find the criminal(s) alone. They are relying on tips and leads given by individuals in the community in order to find the criminal(s). Please sign and share the petition below to spread awareness about Trooper so the heartless individual(s) responsible for this can be found and convicted.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Please give them love and health for their life. Human stop and end use cruelty ways for all animals. They has right and feeling. Please peace for the world.
Almost every day one can read about animal abuse in the most horrible form. Where is the law ? Why are these abusers not REALLY punished? Many, too many times, they just are reprimanded or have to do some community work. It is a shame for our country and I wonder, if those animal abusers mistreat older people as well?
We need to do on to others as they do to defenseless animals. The punishment for these type of crimes have to stronger. It makes me sick when I think about the person(s) responsible for this crime what’s going on in there minds?
Those who abuse animals very often end up as sex offenders, if they already are not. Take a sex offender off the streets before they have the sick urge to rape and drag a child like this.
I would do that to his kids. I DON’T GIVE A FUCK IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. Just for him to suffer! And I don’t give a fuck if that makes me worser than him….
If someone is able to do something like that, I doubt he would really care even for his own kids. The only reason for him to suffer for others would be egoism. So there are other ways you could make him suffer.
I would think only a sociopath could do something like this.. truly despicable. Poor sweet little puppy, I hope he pulls through.
WHO EVER DID THIS TO THE POOR DOG,THEY NEED TO BE TIED TO A BACK OF A TRUCK AND DRAGGED AND SEE HOW THEY LIKE IT
What cruel bastards , I would like to do the same to them .
These People Who Dragged The Puppy along the Highway are Low Lives and should be jailed to Protect normal human beings from harm. They also might turn on the human race.How dare they treat this Puppy like this. Make sure they never do it again.
Any dirtbag who would do this to a cat or dog is a very dangerous person. Someone has to turn this monster into the law. Justice for abused animals!
Whoever did that needs to be found and punished to the fullest extent since crimes against animals are gateway crimes to much worse and the last thing society needs is another lunatic on the loose.
I hope that the person(s)is found and the judge who should pass sentence be thinking it was his pup how so dam cruel that people have to hurt to innocent and pure
DEB How true , if these people think their tough why don’t they go to AFGANISTAN AND TRY TIE A TALBAN BEHIND A TRUCK . Gee i really hope they get these creeps .
This is my worst nightmare!!!!!!!!!! Circa 1950, when I was a kid, I heard about some creep dragging a Cocker Spaniel behind a truck. I am now age 73 and can still feel the pain for this Cocker. I never thought I would once again be apprised of this barbarism! (tears)
PUNISH PUNISH PUNISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE LAWS ARE NOT HARSH ENOUGH FOR ANIMAL ABUSE. WHY ARE THEY NOT EQUAL TO THE PUNISHMENT GIVEN WHEN CHILDREN ARE ABUSED?……… EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE SO WORRIED THAT ANIMAL ABUSERS WILL BECOME ABUSERS OF PEOPLE. PERHAPS IF THE SCUMBAGS WERE GIVEN YEARS IN PRISON AS THEY WOULD FOR CHILD ABUSE INSTEAD OF COMMUNITY SERVICE, WHICH IS A JOKE, IT WOULD SERVE AS DETERENT,,,,,,,,,,,, ALL THIS SHOWS ME IS THAT AN ANIMAL’S LIFE IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS A HUMAN’S IN THE EYES OF THE LAW.FOR SHAME!!!!!!!
People who do these kind of things are just plain mean. They will continue doing this kind of think until they have killed someone. May God will bring them to justice. They need to be dragged behind a truck and see how it feels. Hope the puppy lives.
This is so disgusting an eye for an eye is to lenient for them, unfortunately these people don’t have the brain capacity to understand or feel remorse so unless justice is served on them they will not learn !!!!
The person responsible for this needs to be starved for 5 months like the pup so they are as weak and brittle. Then tied to the rear of the truck dragged for 1.6 miles and then cut the rope and let them lay for the creatures of the night to finish them. I sincerly hope they catch the creep(s) behind this hanious act. Love of animals are minimal we do need to share this with others, remove the blindfold of what is really going on.
why can the dog not obtain full complete miracle healing of all the injuries ??
Sickning!
If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.
—St. Francis of Assisi
Yet another act of animal cruelty. When will it ever stop? This is heartbreaking. Find out who did it and lock them up for a very long time.
I hope Trooper gets well soon and those criminals shud be hanged till death or may be tied to d truck and be dragged till their last breath
