Target: Brandon Goins, Chief Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney for Tazewell County, VA
Goal: Strictly punish man accused of shooting dog to death if found guilty.
A dog reportedly became an innocent bystander in a dispute between two Virginia men. The canine, along with one of the men, was shot. While the man reportedly survived and remains hospitalized, this poor animal tragically died from his injuries.
The suspect in the shooting, James Patrick Cantrell, faces a host of charges that include use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, aggravated malicious wounding, and animal cruelty. Cantrell also apparently had an outstanding warrant for abduction. No motive for the apparent crimes has been disclosed. This suspect needs to be held fully accountable if he is found guilty.
Sign the petition below to demand justice in this troubling case.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mr. Goins,
The charges against James Patrick Cantrell are numerous and serious. Please treat the deadly crime he allegedly committed against an innocent dog with equal gravity. When he reportedly shot this animal, he violated the Virginia animal cruelty statute that includes anyone who “cruelly or unnecessarily beats, maims, mutilates, or kills any animal, whether belonging to himself or another.” If this dog belonged to someone else, the suspect also may have violated the portion of Virginia laws that condemns “malicious injury, killing, or poisoning animals owned by another.”
Do not lose sight of the fact that this case involved two reported victims, one of whom ultimately lost his life. Please prosecute every aspect of this case to the fullest extent and seek the maximum possible penalty if conviction results.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

But in the meantime put in in gen pop in prison. He is going there. The longer his sentence the better the chances are he will be buried there.

It’s time the punishment fits the crime when it comes to animal abuse. No slaps on the hand!!!
RIP sweet dog. Cantrell needs to go to prison. He is already a loser and this just adds to the list. He must receive harsh punishment, not a fine or probation.
