Success: Man Who Allegedly Dragged a Dog to Death Faces Justice

Target: Bill Prummell, Sheriff of Charlotte County, Florida, United States

Goal: Thank Florida’s law enforcement for investigating the case and beginning the court process.

The perpetrator who reported ended the life of a brownish-red colored dog by dragging it behind a truck has been identified, thanks to Florida law enforcement. This ForceChange petition highlighted the importance of finding the individual who was responsible for this alleged animal cruelty and now he can face due process.

Law enforcement has charges incoming to the man who allegedly committed this crime. They worked with Charlotte’s Animal Control organization to determine when the charges should be pressed, and they want to make sure they’re in the perfect position for the charges to stick. Some believe the individual may have already been arrested, but law enforcement has not confirmed or denied. Questions regarding if the crime was on purpose are escalating, and several neighbors were able to get direct footage of the crime in order for law enforcement to find the individual allegedly at fault.

When the suspect was confronted by neighbors, it was unclear if he had known the dog was being dragged. Witnesses reports state, though, that he grabbed the dog from the road and threw the animal in the back of the truck, leaving bloody pawprints in the road. Though this poor animal has apparently died, the investigation must continue for this person deemed responsible to be charged properly.

Sign the petition below to thank Florida’s law enforcement for working hard to bring justice to this innocent dog and to encourage them to continue the investigation.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Sheriff Prummell,

A dog was allegedly dragged behind a truck, leading to the poor animal’s death. While this case is still under investigation, the suspect has been identified thanks to the efforts of your department. It’s vital that this man face the proper charges and the harshest consequences, if found guilty, and you’d played an important part in that process.

Thank you for recognizing the importance of this case by deeply investigating the individual who is suspected to have committed such a crime. I appreciate your prompt effort in identifying the individual and vehicle allegedly responsible for the case. It’s clear that this is an important case that must be taken care of in a strategic fashion. Thank you again for your timeliness within the case.

Sincerity,
