Target: Kim Ogg, District Attorney of Harris County, TX
Goal: Prosecute cruelty cases involving companion animals to fullest extent.
Two recent incidents in Houston highlight the different but equally devastating forms animal cruelty can take. In the first case, a home security camera reportedly showed a man throwing a heavy weight at his dog. Then, the man allegedly followed the fleeing dog and continued striking the whimpering animal. The suspect has since been charged with animal cruelty while the dog, now named Bones, was fortunately adopted into a new home.
The second case involves allegations that nearly a dozen dogs and cats were subjected to severe neglect and possible starvation at a Houston residence. The animals were taken into custody and given veterinary care. Suspected animal cruelty in Texas can lead to potential felony charges that carry prison time.
Sign the petition below to ensure maximum penalties are pursued in these troubling cases.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Ogg,
The Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has emphasized its close partnership with law enforcement in animal cruelty investigations. Two recent incidents grabbed attention, with one involving allegations of severe neglect against several dogs and cats and the other showing the alleged physical assault of a dog caught on camera. Each of these cases is an opportunity to show the community and would-be perpetrators that in Houston, cruelty to any living being will not be tolerated.
Please pursue the fullest possible charges and sentences (if the suspects are found guilty) in both these cases.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Texas is in the spot light again. The man mentioned in the first part of the story needs to be told he can not be around or own another animal again , ever! He doesn’t know how to care, love, or respect another living soul. He isa caught on camera doing the beating of his dog thus he IS accountable.
The other story is again a shelter neglecting dogs and cats. Not feeding and caring for animals which are caged is evil. The animal can not help themselves to food or water or care. This is obvious. Texas has felonies of actions like this. It involves prison. These people need that ending so they will never do this again and they will become an example of what happens to people who abuse animals for neglect them while they are caged and unable to fend for themselves. The people of this country are sick and tired of all these horrid people and want to have our laws punish them for their actions.
Texas is the worst damn state in the United States 🇺🇸 on animal abuses and that shelter in Houston Dallas and the one in San Antonio are the world’s worst animal shelter there in Texas about the abuse and killing of animals
Until the laws are changed and more severe punishments towards animals this will continue. Not ever having another animal will not deter these sick ass people. Who is going to enforce that? A long hard sentence is what needs to happen.
