Dog That Allegedly Died From Bleeding, Maggot-Infested Neck Wounds Deserves Justice

Target: Wayne County, New York District Attorney Michael D. Calarco

Goal: Give man harsh legal sentence for allegedly failing to get his dog veterinary care when he was suffering from severely infected neck wounds.

A dog was allegedly found profusely bleeding from open neck wounds that were filled with maggots and flies. Calan Lopinto was charged with Failure to Provide Proper Sustenance to his dog after the animal was discovered.

Although attempts were made to save the dog, he eventually had to be euthanized because the wounds were not able to successfully heal. Officers reported that although Lopinto was aware that his dog was suffering, he did not try to seek veterinary help. It is therefore not known exactly how long the dog was in pain before he was found by authorities.

Lopinto is scheduled to go back to court on a future date. Sign this petition to demand he receive the toughest legal sentence possible if it is found this poor dog suffered and died due to his neglect.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear District Attorney Calarco,

Calan Lopinto was brought up on animal cruelty charges after authorities said his dog had been found with open bleeding sores filled with maggots and flies in his neck. It is important that this man spend time in prison if he is found guilty to make it less likely other animals will suffer under his care.

The dog was immediately taken to Lyons Veterinary Clinic after authorities located him. However, his wounds were so bad, clinic staff were unable to save him. According to reports, the dog could have gotten the help he needed if Lopinto would have gotten the animal medical care right away. However, he likely died because Lopinto allegedly failed to find him the medical care he desperately needed.

Lopinto is currently awaiting trial to determine if he is responsible for his dog’s suffering and death. For all these reasons, we demand you seek the strictest punishment possible for Lopinto if it is discovered he is responsible for this animal’s fate.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
