Target: Mr. Keith Blackwood, District Attorney of Mobile County, Alabama, United States
Goal: Demand the maximum penalty for a man who allegedly drowned his dog at a beach as it had fleas.
At a beach in Dauphin Island, Alabama, witnesses reported that a man drowned his golden Labrador retriever in the surf. According to eyewitness statements provided to the police, the suspect submerged the dog underwater for approximately three minutes, claiming it had fleas. This appalling act of reported cruelty has shocked and appalled beachgoers and animal lovers alike.
Two witnesses who observed the apparently tragic event confronted the owner and immediately called 911 to report the incident. The Dauphin Island Police Department responded to the distress call, arresting Shawn Taulbee, a resident of Theodore, Alabama, on charges of first-degree cruelty to a dog, a felony offense.
The alleged drowning of a defenseless dog is an egregious violation of ethical principles and reflects a complete disregard for the welfare and dignity of animals. Such acts of extreme cruelty cannot be tolerated within any civilized society and must be met with swift and decisive action. Demand action now.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mr. Keith Blackwood,
We are writing to express our profound outrage and concern regarding the recent reported incident of animal cruelty that occurred at Dauphin Island, Alabama. The alleged drowning of a golden Labrador retriever by its owner at the beach has deeply disturbed us and demands swift and decisive action.
The intentional drowning of a defenseless dog, as alleged, is a severe violation of ethical principles and a gross abuse of an animal’s right to life. It is imperative that the suspect faces the full weight of the law and receives the maximum penalty if he is found guilty of this act of cruelty.
By prosecuting the suspect to the fullest extent of the law, you will send a clear message that acts of animal cruelty will not be tolerated within Mobile County or the state of Alabama. It is our collective responsibility to protect the welfare and rights of animals and to hold those who harm them accountable for their actions.
We respectfully urge you to prioritize this case and seek justice for the innocent dog who tragically lost its life. We believe that by taking decisive action, you will reinforce the values of compassion and respect for all living beings within our community.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

This dog killing vile scumbag requires immediate instigation of the death penalty.
To drown a dog because of a flea problem? BS. Would it be more fair if this man had cancer of the ear but we cut his head off. Seems much the same to me. Is it rational? No. Yet this man asks we believe this was a solution to an everyday problem handled easily with a visit to a pet store, a shelter, or a vet. But no, this guy chose the death of his dog. Is that rational? This man needs trail by jury. Why? THEY WOULD FIND HIM GUILTY OF MURDER.
Very well put!!
Bullshit he just killed the dog cause they have medication for that all this sorry no good bastrad just lies his way out of prison and they f**king believed him hell I wish I could get my hand on that bastard and hold his head under water and tell the cops I did because he drank to much
OR BECAUSE HE HAS LICE… LOL I WILL BE PLEASED TO HELP YOU WITH THAT FUCKING HEARTLESS MORON. THE ONLY JUSTICE FOR THESE MONSTERS IS TO SERVE THEM THE SAME TORTURE. AN EYE FOR AN EYE.

Surely someone could have stepped in & tried to stop this FUCKING EVIL MONSTER!!! 3 minutes is a long time to stand & watch a dog being drowned!!! Fucking useless cunt humans,,, are just as bad for watching & doing nothing to help this poor dog!
Yes Paula Tee you are right. Why didn’t anyone try to save the dog? Too busy filming on their fucking phone?
Shame on all these people who did nothing to save the poor dog.
All the sadistic scum that defile this earth must be destroyed in the same way as what they do to the innocent defenceless animals!
