Target: Debbie Housel, Assistant District Attorney General for Davidson County, TN
Goal: Prosecute suspect who reportedly confessed to bludgeoning dog to fullest extent.
Authorities in Tennessee took a call from a distressed woman who claimed to hear loud noises and the sounds of a pained dog outside her home. Upon arrival at the residence, officers received further tragic details. The woman’s son claimed that a neighbor had beaten the family’s pet dog to death with a shovel. The remains of the animal were found underneath a bucket. The suspect, Leangelo Ramey, then reportedly confessed. Ramey’s seeming defense for this alleged crime can be summed up in three words: he was tired.
He faces charges of aggravated animal cruelty. This disturbing incident quickly drew attention and even compelled the assistant district attorney to speak out about the rise in animal cruelty cases within the Nashville area. She has vowed to hold all animal abusers fully accountable.
Sign the petition below to ensure she keeps her promise in this case.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Assistant District Attorney General Housel,
“It’s heartbreaking for everyone involved…It is prevalent and it’s shocking and it makes you sick, quite frankly.” You spoke the aforementioned words when discussing animal cruelty cases in Davidson County. You also drew a correlation between these crimes and other types of violence and reiterated a commitment to accountability and vigorous prosecution.
Please honor this pledge in the case of Deangelo Ramey, who allegedly bludgeoned a dog with a shovel simply because he was tired. Seek the maximum available penalty and secure justice for this innocent animal if the accused is found guilty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

He killed this dog because he was tired? No other problem solving skills? Like rehoming this dog instead of violently beating it to death with a shovel? What is wrong with men, that this is their go to response to stimulus they don’t like? Violence: the only way men know how to deal with their problems. Why can’t we address this nationally? Even globally? The Y chromosome is responsible for so much suffering.
Put that psychopath away! Beating a dog to death with a shovel. This monster does NOT deserve to breathe, ever again. If this psychopath walks away unpunished, he will do this and much worse!
