Target: Genesee County, Michigan Prosecuting Attorney David Leyton
Goal: Give man prison sentence for allegedly starving eight dogs and leaving them to die.
Christopher Hatchet was arrested after he allegedly neglected eight dogs for over a week. He needs to be given time in prison if it is found he harmed these animals to better ensure other dogs will not go through a similar ordeal.
A dog named Thrax was reportedly leashed up to a tree and was said to have lost circulation as a result of the leash being wrapped too tightly around one of her left legs. Thrax’s leg had to be amputated because of the alleged incident. In addition, all the dogs were reportedly malnourished.
The dogs are currently in custody of Genesee County Animal Control and are now eligible for adoption. Hatchet is currently being charged with two counts of animal abuse as well as one count of being a habitual offender. Sign this petition to demand these innocent dogs receive justice if it is discovered Hatchet neglected or abused them in any way.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecuting Attorney Leyton,
Eight dogs were allegedly abandoned and left to fend for themselves for over seven days. Christopher Hatchet was arrested on animal cruelty charges shortly afterwards. It is important he receive a tough legal sentence if it is found he neglected these dogs so that other animals will be less likely to endure the same fate.
All of the dogs were reportedly emaciated when officers arrived on the scene, and one dog named Thrax was said to be tied to a tree with the leash wrapped tightly around one of her left legs. A veterinarian had to amputate Thrax’s leg because of the damage apparently caused by the leash.
The dogs are now up for adoption at the Genesee County Animal Control facility. Hatchet was reportedly arrested for displaying animal cruelty, torturing another animal, and for also being a habitual offender. For these reasons, I demand you suggest Hatchet be required to spend the maximum amount of time in prison if it is found these dogs suffered while under his care.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Dear Prosecuting Attorney Leyton,
What’s going on in Michigan? There have been various cases of animal abuse lately, aren’t there strict laws for ‘animal abusers’ or just a slap on the hand?
Please look into it!
Thank you!
Yep, I’ve noticed that too.
Dear Prosecuting Attorney Leyton,
WHAT A MISERABLE HATEFUL AND EVIL SON OF A GUN – HE DOESN’T DESERVE TO BE A FREE MAN BUT BE INCARCERATED IN A STATE PRISON FOR LIFE
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SHOULDN’T EVER BE BORN… PLEASE SEND HIM TO JAIL FOR THE LONGEST POSSIBLE TIME AND PLEASE SEND HIM TO JAIL FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE AND PAY A HEAVY FINE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND CONSIDERATION!
Dear Prosecuting Attorney Leyton,
Please advocate for all animals in Michigan, where apparently there are no laws that punish animal abusers and sadistic cowards!
Thank you!
This is horrible, she should be treated the same way she treated these poor dogs. I wonder how long she would last!
It’s a man not a woman who did this! Geez. READ!
I totally agree with Gabriela Torres

What a disgusting cruel individual! I love animals so so much and it is too bad that a huge branch did not fall on him! This is very disturbing for all that care for animals and I pray he will be punished severely and end up in prison where he belongs! I hope that the dogs will recover and find a loving home!
SADISTIC MONSTER!!!! I AGREE WITH SHARON ELIMINATE HIM!!!~!
PUNISH TO THE VERY FULLEST!!!
This stupid fuck should die.
So sick of stupid fucking humans hurting animals.
..sub humans
THANK GOD ALL ARE SAFE! BUT THE MOTHER FUCKER NEEDS TO BE TIED TO A TREE, HONEY POURED ALL OVER HIM, AND A SWARM OF BEES OR AN ARMY OF ANTS LEASHED ON TO THIS ASS HOLE. HE MUST SUFFER S.L.O.W.L.Y.
Amputate that SOB
AN EYE FOR AN EYE! In this case a leg for a leg!
While “hurt people hurt people”, animals are sentient beings that CERTAINLY don’t deserve deliberate torment, in Michigan or anywhere.
Hopefully, elected officials will take animal health and welfare more of a priority going forward.
That bastard must be charged with 16 counts of felony animal cruelty charges (2 charges for each dog). Whoever made the animal cruelty laws in Michigan needs to be fired. The laws & punishment for animal cruelty, torture, neglect, etc need to be made 100% stricter & harsher. The bastard that kept those poor dogs to die deserves to have the exact same thing done to him. Tie him completely up around a tree with nothing. Let him die slowly and painfully. But since that won’t happen, he must serve 16 years in prison with no early parole, pay a $500,000 fine, and be banned for life from owning or going near any animals ever again.
It also happened in our town. The result was the bastard who did it, is walking with one leg!!!
Christopher Hatchet is an evil, monster who truly deserves to spend the rest of his pathetic life behind bars for this torture and attempted murder of these defenceless dogs. No breaks for this subhuman psychopath.
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo !!!!
It’s guys like Christopher Hatchet that are a disgrace to humanity. These are one of the most vicious crimes of animal cruelty to cause slow starvation with the intention of killing. There should be a public database of scumbags like this who commit horrible crimes against animals so that no other animal ends up in the hands of people like Christopher Hatchet.
Lazy ass owner. Put him in jail and forget to feed and water him. He needs a life long ban on owning pets and animals. He’s irresponsible and plain dumb.
