Target: Barry Staubus, District Attorney for Sullivan County, Tennessee
Goal: Punish the person responsible for dragging a dog behind their car, resulting in painful injuries.
A dog was tied to a vehicle and dragged through a church parking lot in a horrific case of animal cruelty. Those responsible are still at large and potentially dangerous to other animals. See that justice is served for this innocent dog.
“This gentle dog deserved love and a safe home, but instead, he was tortured for a lark,” stated People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ (PETA) Senior Director Stephanie Bell in a press release. The German shepherd mix, named Church by rescuers, endured injuries to his ankles, knees, and chest during the brief but terrifying ordeal. Surveillance cameras captured two suspects in a white vehicle tying the dog to the car and dragging him around the parking lot. Church members found him and immediately brought him to Andes-Straley Veterinary Hospital, where he is recovering.
Though an investigation is ongoing, the suspects have yet to be identified. PETA is offering a reward for any information leading to the arrest of those behind this cruelty. Sign below and demand the maximum penalty for those found guilty in this case.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Staubus,
A sweet, innocent dog named Church endured horrific cruelty at the hands of two individuals. Tied to a white car, he was dragged around the Gospel Mission Church parking lot. The entire act of cruelty was captured on surveillance video, and yet those inside the car remain unidentified.
Church endured injuries to his ankles, knees, and chest while being dragged across the pavement. He is expected to make a full recovery, but no Sullivan County animal will be safe until these individuals are arrested, charged, and prosecuted.
Animal cruelty can never be tolerated. I demand that you prosecute the people behind Church’s suffering and seek the harshest penalty possible.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

All animal abusers internationally must have the death penalty performed on them. I am ready, willing and able to help perform the required slow and agonising death penalty on these 2 vile mentally deranged bastards!!!! OH YESSS!!!!
100% with uou! Kill these bastards as they are immediate danger to all animals and people alike!!!
DISPICABLE!! ROT IN DAMNATION!!
Sick of hearing this over and over. Something must be done to make this stop and if it means 20 years or so I’m all for it. I’m also for death penalty.
It seems as though no one cares … in spite of all the abuses committed day after day. The authorities just don’t care because in their opinion ‘it’s just animals’!
Mother fuckers!!!! Hope they will be out down one day!
Find the perpetrators responsible Tie their fucking necks to the bumper and drag them around until they die
Such rotten and cruel people in this world. Find these two creeps and drag them with a rope tied around their necks! I’m glad Church was rescued, may he heal soon and find a good, loving forever home.
They need to be found and max felony charges must be enforced. They are evil and should not be allowed to live in society or ever be around any any animals for life. Maybe if we drag them behind a vehicle they will see what abuse is that is what they truly deserve.
These “men” should be tied up and dragged behind a motorcycle – down main street of this stupid town – and be put in prison!! I hope whomever “spawned” these slime balls are proud of their pieces of shit children!!!!
Those bastards must be found. They should have ropes tied around their necks and they should be dragged behind cars. They deserve to have the exact same thing done to them. Strip them naked first, then drag them all over town. Those bastards deserve to die
Find the sociopaths who did this and drag them behind a car until they die.
Amen!!
Drag the scumbag behind a car.
TENNESEEE WAKE UP! ANIMAL ABUSERS MUST BE PUNISHED. IF YOUR STATE WANTS TO IMPROVE YOUR IMAGE, START FINDING, PROSECUTING, AND SERIOSLY PUNISHING SCUMS LIKE THIS.
These HORRIBLE abusers need to be prosecuted under The PACT ACT!!!!
This HORRIBLE abuser needs to be prosecuted to the FULLEST extent of the law under the PACT ACT!!!
I WISH THESE ASSHOLES SLOWLY ROT WITH CANCER AND THEN SOMEONE BEATS THE SHIT OUT OF THEM. THEY MUST HAVE THOUGHT THIS SHIT WAS SO DAMN FUNNY TOO BAD THEY DIDN’T SMASH INTO A TREE.I WOULD FIND IT FUNNY WHEN SOMEONE SLOWLY KILLS THEM.
As an animal lover, esp. dogs, I’m heartbroken that this horrific act of cruelty was inflicted on poor, innocent Church. I’m glad there was surveillance video of the incident and the vehicle involved. I hope the license plate and number are legible so those low-down,slimy snakes are caught and severely punished because they are menaces to society and other animals are in danger until they are caught. Church, I wish you a speedy recovery and I hope you get justice.
Agree all comment’s drag this fucker till he dies in slow.
Justice now. This cunt deserves to die painfully.
I HOPE THAT THESE COWARDS ARE FOUND AND THEN TIED BEHIND A CAR AND DRAG THEIR ASSES AT A HIGH SPEED THROUGH A FREEWAY!
The fact they used a Church parking lot to inflict cruelty on God’s innocent and precious animals, shows them to be the demons they are. This will escalate if these cowards are not found. Their hands have been used for Satan’s work, someone cut them off before its too late for something or someone else.
Local people must recognize the vehicle, the people in the car…vigilantes out there find these sickos, tie them to the back of a vehicle and take them for a long drive.
An eye for an eye…
These types of people are the true scum of the earth. They don’t deserve to live. The police must do their best to find te fiends and punish them , better still drag then behind the police cars at full speed. That I call justice.
I hope the video that captured this violent crime helps authorities find and arrest these individuals. If and when they do, a crime like this should not be handled lightly because these people responsible for this crime will with certainty continue to torture animals if not dealt with in a manner that will deter them from ever hurting another animal in the future.
