Target: Matt Platkin, Attorney General of New Jersey
Goal: Ensure legal action against individuals allegedly involved in the heinous dogfighting ring.
In Newark, New Jersey, a shocking revelation has surfaced. Two men, Tommy Watson and Johnnie Lee Nelson, have been charged for their alleged roles in a disturbing dogfighting operation. This cruel ring, known as “DMV Board,” reportedly spanned several states and utilized Telegram for coordination. The abuse these animals allegedly endured, from fighting to killing, demands urgent action.
From August 2017 through March 2019, Watson and Nelson purportedly engaged in the training, fighting, and transportation of pit bull-type dogs. Shockingly, authorities accuse them of sharing videos of live dog fights, training sessions, and even the heartless killing of dogs that underperformed. Such acts, if true, depict a horrifying disregard for animal welfare. The emotional impact of these allegations resonates deeply with any compassionate person.
This petition calls for the Attorney General of New Jersey to take firm action. The alleged atrocities committed against these innocent animals must not go unpunished. Demand rigorous prosecution and appropriate penalties for those involved in this alleged dogfighting ring. It’s a moral imperative to uphold justice for these defenseless creatures.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Matt Platkin,
We are deeply troubled by the alleged dogfighting ring uncovered in your state, involving Tommy Watson and Johnnie Lee Nelson. This appalling situation, as reported, spans multiple states and involves the cruel treatment of pit bull-type dogs. Allegations of live dog fights, barbaric training methods, and the merciless killing of dogs are especially disturbing.
The details emerging from this case are heart-wrenching. Imagine the pain and fear these dogs may have endured. The charges against Watson and Nelson, including the distribution of videos showcasing these cruel acts, paint a grim picture of animal cruelty. This case is not just a legal issue but a testament to our society’s values regarding the treatment of animals.
Therefore, we urge you to pursue this case with the utmost severity. These alleged actions, if proven, warrant substantial legal repercussions. We ask for justice to be served, not just for the sake of these animals but to send a clear message that such brutality will not be tolerated in our society.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

we citizens deplore dog fighting. It’s against the law but it continues to be overlooked in many states. Is it judges letting perps go free? Is it money to pay off officials? It is gambling but so much more. These dogs are nothing to the perps who set up and run these multi-state rings of terror. How is it a multi-state atrocity like this exists? Our laws are not strong enough but if, once convicted, the state took leans against businesses and homes, set a fine so high most couldn’t pay it, and after trail sent these creeps to prison for many years. This would punish their families which in turn punishes them. There must be an end to this torture. Perps don’t deserve to be in society, so take them out!
Cant imagine the constant pain and fear these poor dogs have to go through everyday! Charge the perps with max penalties including max jailterm, permanent ban on pet ownership too! Only stricter animal laws can protect and save these poor souls!
