Target: Honorable Larry Krasner, District Attorney of Philadelphia, United States
Goal: Advocate for strict punishment of the perpetrators who bound a dog’s muzzle with rubber bands.
A helpless and malnourished dog, later named Marigold, was found abandoned in a park with rubber bands tightly wrapped around her mouth. The bands cut her to the bone and maggots filled the wounds as she struggled to breathe. The perpetrator is currently unknown.
The cruelty inflicted upon Marigold is not only a blatant violation of our moral duty to protect and care for animals but also a violation of laws governing animal welfare. Such acts of cruelty cause immense pain, suffering, and lasting trauma to innocent beings.
It is essential that our legal system upholds the principles of justice, compassion, and protection for all living beings. By advocating for strict punishment in this case, we aim to send a strong message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our society.
Sign below and demand that the maximum legal penalties are pursued for the offenders once they are identified. This will not only seek justice for Marigold, but also set a precedent that animal cruelty is a serious crime that will be met with severe consequences.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Honorable Larry Krasner,
A dog named Marigold was found abandoned in a park with rubber bands tightly wrapped around her muzzle. The bands cut her to the bone and maggots filled the wounds as she struggled to breathe. The perpetrator is currently unknown, but this poor animal deserves justice.
Animal cruelty is a violation of our moral and ethical responsibilities to protect and care for the voiceless creatures with whom we share this planet. It is imperative that we, as a society, condemn such acts and ensure that those who commit them are held accountable.
Moreover, research has shown a clear link between animal cruelty and subsequent acts of violence towards humans. By addressing and prosecuting this case with the utmost seriousness, we can contribute to the creation of a safer and more compassionate community for all.
We implore you to use the resources and authority at your disposal to thoroughly investigate this case, gather all relevant evidence, and prosecute the offenders to the fullest extent of the law. By seeking the maximum legal penalties, you will not only bring justice to Marigold but also send a strong message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our society.
Please act swiftly and decisively to ensure that justice is served in this case and that the perpetrators are held accountable for their heinous actions.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Someone should recognize this poor dog and know who the owner was/is, put the picture out there and post a reward. Whoever did this is a cowardly loser and a danger to other animals. Also, the connection between abusing animals and people is too strong to ignore. This person needs to be found, prosecuted and jailed before worse things happen.
Joanne you are so right. This poor animal deserves retribution. Please punish the person who did this.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!! I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE THE SAME THING DONE TO THIS LESS THAN HUMAN BEING SICK PHYCOPATH WHO WILL EVENTUALLY GO TO HUMANS AN EYE FOR AN EYE NO MERCY!!!
I agree with JoAnne. Someone out there knows something. No animal should suffer this way. The sad part is it was due to her owner. That is usually the case. The hard part is finding who did this. If found we must make our laws stricter for those found guilty of animal abuse. Dogs are better than humans. Dogs don’t deserve this torture.
Yet in order to stop this type of thing we must make prison a must! The law must speak for these victims not judges but juries. First time offenses don’t matter, all offenses matter! A 10 year prison sentence at the least needs to be in order. Parents of teens found guilty need to be fined a huge amount as I feel they know their kid and most likely have a clue but do nothing. A person found guilty must pay all vet bills and boarding bills. If they kill an animals they must be made to pay at least 10 thousand dollars, or more, to the family. They must make retribution. Maybe this will stop some of this evil.
Philadelphia ignores animal abusers. These people are evil and in today’s times will walk or some organization will bail them out. Disgusting.
That’s when society needs to deal out the justice for this poor dog!
Hand cuff him and tie rubber bands around his dick until it falls off!
Outstanding idea! Will you please run for President!
Seconded, from Canada!
The laws need to be in place for the animals. All animal abusers need the death penalty – they will never ever stop the abuse and killing of animals. What a horrible thing to have done to this poor dog and no matter what the dog never deserved to be abused. The abusers are never held accountable – never. As far as stating that they should never be allowed to have animals again is a f*cking joke – of course they will have them again and more abuse will take place – end the god damn cycle with a bullet – problem solved. Come on people we all know that there is just no punishment for these acts of cruelty.
Agree 100%…a bullet to the head of an animal abuser will solve the problem. Abusers CAN NOT be rehabilitated.
WTF!!! Why do people do this to poor innocent animals!!! Why?!? I hope she recovers well and finds an amazing home!!
Si, y que se castigue fuertemente al ser inhumano y malvado que le hizo eso!!!!
Poor little dog to have to endure such suffering. I pray the Monster that did this is found and given the very maximum punishment! No Animal should have to endure such horrible pain. I pray she has recovered and found a very loving home!
yeah i hope she recovers well too…
a good loving home for rest of her days/nights
Offer a reward to find the low life who did this!! If they didn’t want the poor dog the least they could have done was give it a chance at a shelter instead of torturing him!
This f baster should be punished publicly!…
When we read about these cruel vile animal cases people around the area know the dogs owners or carers.Is it a case of they dare not speak out for fear of violence to them as the dog suffered??
Many of these cases we read about, residents DO know who owned the animal.
EVERYONE JUST BE BRAVE AND COME FORWARD TO THE POLICE OR OTHER AUTHORITIES.
THESE POOR ANIMALS NEED JUSTICE.
THEY SHOULD GET IT.
And as for the foul vile heartless bastard who did this to Marigold well simply stitch his mouth up….same treatment he gave her. We cannot put bands around his mouth but we can stitch his mouth up….!!!!or simply hang him. We do not need folks like this in the world
WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP…WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING?????
JUST WHAT ARE YOU DOING.?? SOMEONE KNOWS WHO HAD THIS DOG AND DID THIS ABHORANT, EVIL, CRUEL AND WICKED CRIME TO THIS POOR INNOCENT ANIMAL.
SUCH ACTION MUST NEVER GO UNPUNISHED, EVER. THIS, SO CALLED, HUMAN, HAS DONE SUCH A HEANOUS CRIME AND THEY MUST FEEL THE FULL FORCE OF PUNISHMENT, WHOEVER THEY ARE….AND NOW!! NEVER, EVER, EVER ALLOWED TO GO NEAR ANY ANIMAL AGAIN.
SORT IT OUT….WAKE UP!!
scumbags like this should get jail time
How is she doing? Has she been adopted?❤️
We have ads about “See something, say something” when it comes to drinking and family abuse but where are all these people when it is an animal with no voice to ask for help. Unless these animals were invisible someone somewhere has seen them and knows who their owners are. It can still be done anonomously. Speak up or you are only one rung on the rotten ladder below the person who did this.
This cannot be allowed to be ignored – animal abuse always leads to other abuses! In order to make “them” care, make it about future abuse of people. Asking for justice for animals doesn’t seem to make much of an impact on law enforcement. When we tried getting a German Shepherd off the Williamsburg bridge a few years ago (we got a ticket), we said that the dog could cause serious accidents (almost did), and get hurt/killed in the process.
No animal should ever be abused and left to suffer . Whoever committed this horrific cruelty needs to be found and locked away permanently, this sicko is a danger to animals and society. Let’s stop letting these evil people off with the usual slap on the wrist.
Philadelphia, you had better stand up and demand harsh sentences for animal abusers!
Do it!!!!
They need to investigate harder to find the sick SOB that did this and wrap duct tape around his head over his mouth and tie his hands behind his back!
Honorable Larry Krasner, District Attorney WHEN ARE THESE DEMONS GOING TO GET WHAT THEY DESERVE? IT IS YOUR JOB TO PROTECT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet Marigold, how you must of suffered…I pray for a full and speedy recovery little girl…
SOB, get Marigold her justice and find this demon perp and KILL HIM. Not only did he abandon her but he left her muzzled so that she would suffer to the extreme! SOB !
FIND HIM….someone knows something. GET JUSTICE FOR MARIGOLD.
Find asshole and seal his mouth forever
Has a reward been offered? Someone knows who owned this dog, someone knows who did this (abusers like to brag) and someone is the same sort of lowlife as the abuser if they know him and don’t turn him in. Do not give up, find the creep responsible and make sure he pays for his cruelty. If this is left to gather dust in some in-basket then more of this will just go on, find and punish abusers if you want to stop abuse.
