Target: Greg Willis, District Attorney for Collin County, Texas
Goal: Applaud harsh penalty given to man found guilty of stomping a young puppy to death.
A man who threw a boxer mix puppy against a wall and then stomped on him so that he sustained fatal injuries will be imprisoned for a long time thanks to the efforts of Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis. The case drew widespread public outrage, as evidenced by online petitions like this one on ForceChange. Sign this petition to express your support for this decision, which demonstrates that animal cruelty will not be tolerated.
Andrew Callaway has been sentenced to spend 12 years in prison for having beaten and stomped a boxer puppy named Diesel so violently that he had to be euthanized. Both of Diesel’s hips and legs were severely fractured. Veterinarians had hoped to save his life by performing a series of operations, but ultimately the decision was made to humanely end his suffering.
While sending Callaway to prison will not bring back this innocent animal’s life, it is an important signal to other would-be abusers that such acts of savagery are not without consequence. Sign this petition to thank the district attorney in this case for seeking the harshest possible penalty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Willis,
As you are aware, a puppy was subjected to a cruel and untimely death after a Wylie area man named Andrew Callaway threw him against the wall and stomped him to death, crushing the lower half of his body. This horrendous crime sent shock waves of grief and outrage throughout the community and worldwide. While there is no punishment severe enough to right this awful wrong, your decision to seek the harshest possible sentence for Mr. Callaway was the best way to ensure that justice would be served.
The fact that Callaway has been found guilty and will now spend the next 12 years in prison not only means that he will be unable to cause harm to any animals during this time, it also sends an important message to other would-be animal abusers. We, the undersigned, want to thank you for making sure that this act of extreme cruelty did not go unpunished.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Good !! Keep handing out sentences with some substance! Great news.
thank you for this now I hope he gets stomped good while he’s in there
Agreed
Finally justice is served. People will think twice about abusing animals and people. Thank you! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Greg Willis
Thank you for protecting the community, this sentence and lifetime parol are a reasonable sentence for this very sick violent criminal.Thank you
Good news!! Justice for a poor innocent animal. Keep up the good work. This fool deserves prison time.
Lets hope that this POS puppy murderer is killed in prison.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For speaking for the voiceless and sending this MONSTER to jail!!!
Justice must be everlasting to these sadistic cold animal killers and animal abusers! We have had enough and demand tougher laws and tougher punishments!
We shouldn’t have to thank a DA for imposing this sentence. It should be mandatory for all animal abusers and not simply left to individuals to decide the punishment. Sentences vary according to how the person who imposes the punishment actually feels about animals, so if they are indifferent (god forbid) or value human life more importantly, the animal abuser often gets a mere slap on the wrist. I am appalled at the cruelty dogs and cats in particular are suffering at the hands of these aberrants. Mandatory minimum sentencing of at least 12 years for these scum. Build more jails if you have to, but get them off the streets ……
I agree..this guy should be in prison for life and 12 years should be a minimum sentence for animal abuse! These creeps are monsters and they are not deterred because the penalties for hurting and killing animals are not harsh enough!People are in jails who should not be while too many of these monsters are not!
Hope someone throws him against wall and stomps all over him when he goes to jail
THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED GET JUSTICE FOR DIESEL.
RIP POOR DIESEL NO ANIMAL DESERVES TO BE HORRIFICALLY MURDERED AND AT LEAST YOUR EVIL ABUSER CAN THINK ABOUT WHAT HE DID FOR 12 YEARS AS HE SITS IN JAIL WHERE HE BELONGS!!
Sickening, disgusting, unimaginable. Probably, what you are thinking when you sentenced, the easiest decision you ever made Greg Willis, but Thank-you. Hopefully no parole.
Some people are just evil. I hope he gets the same treatment from the prison inmates who care about animals and he doesn’t get his sentence reduced. What a despicable pathetic cowardly excuse for a human being. I hope he has nightmares for the rest of his useless life.
should be mandatory. 15 years without parole. Maybe somebody will ‘shank’ him in prison. One can hope…
However this sentence is definitely a great improvement.
Thank you and this type of sentencing should be common practice for every single animal abuse case.
One request is…When this perpetrator is released on the public, please make sure he is never allowed to have any contact or association with animals of any species for the rest of his miserable life. Also keep him on the police watch list as an animal abuser because we all know they tend to turn to child and spousal abusers as well. Thank you sincerely.
It’s about time!!! For once a horrible animal cruelty case gets prosecuted!!!!
Best birthday present I could have: Justice for at least one innocent victim. With a little luck, “the law of talion” may make the sentence complete.
Dear Mr. Willis,
You are a champion in our book!! You gave this poor dog your voice and justice! We are so proud of and grateful to you for this well-deserved serious penalty! We hope and pray your message will be heard clearly around this country and that other cruel abusers will receive a similar penalty!
Hopefully he gets killed in jail!
Quelle bonne nouvelle !! Enfin un juge qui fait honneur à sa profession ! Si tous les juges du monde suivaient son exemple ; les tortionnaires d’animaux n’existeraient plus ! Merci à vous Monsieur le juge ; merci au nom de tous nos amis les animaux pour votre courage et votre grand coeur !
