Dogs Gunned Down in Yard Deserve Justice

Target: Heather L. Adams, District Attorney of Lancaster County, PA

Goal: Seek maximum punishment for perp responsible for shooting and fatally wounding dogs.

When gunshots rang out at an owner’s property, the person was understandably alarmed. Police were called before the property owner went outside and investigated. A horrific sight awaited: two dogs had apparently been shot several times.

After the police arrived, responding officers confirmed that one of the animals—which belonged to the property owner—had died from the wounds. Thankfully, the other dog (belonging to a visitor to the property) was able to be saved following emergency treatment. A reward is currently being offered for any details provided about this disturbing case, and the county Crime-Stoppers are involved as well.

Sign the petition below to urge prosecutors to be as vigilant as investigators when an arrest is made.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear District Attorney Adams,

Two dogs happily playing in a yard were felled by gunfire. Whether these animals were targeted for this cruel act or whether they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, they should receive the full measure of justice. What if children had been nearby and caught in the crossfire too?

Local law enforcement has not given up on this case, and when they identify and apprehend a suspect or suspects, please follow through with vigorous prosecution. Whomever committed this heinous crime is a public menace, and their actions should not be taken lightly nor dismissed.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
