Target: Adair Ford Boroughs, State Attorney for South Carolina
Goal: Give police officer prison sentence for allegedly keeping her sick dog locked inside crate.
A police officer, who has since resigned, was charged with animal cruelty after pictures appeared to show a malnourished dog that she owned standing inside a crate filled with waste. If these allegations are proven true it is important she spend time in jail to make it clear that such mistreatment by a law enforcement officer will not be tolerated.
Ross’s attorney is arguing that Ross and her husband had to keep the dog inside the crate when the animal suddenly became sick because the dog was not able to control bowel movements. Unfortunately, the dog’s accidents were thought to be a direct result of severe heart worm disease. According to the attorney, the animal was only put down after they learned about the dog’s illness and determined that treatment was not affordable.
The accused lawyer has pointed out that there is no statute in place to punish people for having a lack of resources. While this may be true, a person should think about all future expenses before obtaining a pet. Furthermore, keeping an animal locked inside a small crate to avoid the consequences of a medical problem should never be considered acceptable. Surrendering an animal to a reputable shelter or rescue group that may be able to provide the pet with the appropriate care is also a likely option in such times of distress. Sign this petition to demand the accused receive prison time if she is found guilty of allowing this innocent animal to needlessly suffer and die.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear State Attorney Boroughs,
A police officer, who has since resigned, was charged with animal cruelty after it was reported that her dog was emaciated and kept inside a filthy crate. The animal appeared to be standing to avoid lying down in waste.
Her attorney said that she and her husband chose to euthanize the dog because they could not afford to treat the dog’s heart worm disease. He therefore states that she should not be punished since vet care was not affordable. This argument is absurd since someone should strongly think about related expenses before getting a pet. Additionally, choosing to keep an animal locked inside a dirty crate for long periods of time to avoid a medical issue may be considered animal abuse. Furthermore, reaching out to a rescue organization or animal shelter may also be a viable option when one cannot afford pet care.
I therefore demand you suggest the accused be given the maximum sentence if it is discovered this dog suffered and died while under her care to send a clear message that animal abuse is never acceptable, especially by an individual who has taken an oath to uphold the law.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
PUT THIS CRUEL & ABUSIVE ASSHOLE IN A CAGE AND LEAVE HER THERE WITHOUT ANY FOOD, WATER, AND ANYTHING COMFORTABLE THINGS TO LAY ORBSIT ON FOR THE REST OF HER MISERABLE LIFE!! A PR9SON CELL IS TOO GOOD FOR HER!!!
She should know better that this is inhumane. She needs prison time and not be allowed to have animals in her possession for life. A low cost Vet associated with a shelter may have been able to help with a payment plan. Not caring and doing nothing is torture for the dog.
Wby even believe that story? The dog was a skeleton, what does that have to do with anything? These police people are sick in the head, get their jollies from dominating.
True – all the drongo had to do was take the poor little dog to the vet.
Hopefully she does not have health insurance and gets sick. Maybe put her down as well.
That couple only euthanized their dog after realizing they’d been caught and could face jail time – they are cruel and cowardly. She earned a salary, no excuse for not helping a sick animal. Not cleaning that poor dog’s cage is unhygienic and sick. The smell, the flies, the germs, the ….. And now they’re allowed to defend themselves!? How? Why? They removed the rights of their poor dog – therefore, they should be denied their right to defend. They must be banned from owning all/any animals forever.
So a police officer salary and her husband’s salary can’t afford food for their dog? What does that have to do with heartworm? No one believes their absolutely ridiculous story. Jail for both of them and for life if it were up to me.
you disgusting vile piece of shit. you need putting into a cage right now for the rest of your life and eat shit…
You are not fucking human…
and YOU was allowed to be a COP????
God help us all.
Rot in hell. Bastard. This is how i feel about YOU you scum
Me too! These cops enjoy abusing and dominating it’s all they do all day, everyday and they start to believe they’re superior.
I wonder what sort of rubbish cop she was? Probably one of those sadistic ones that give the police a bad name. And how does she treat her children when they are sick, if (God forbid) she ever breeds babies from herself?
There is always some excuse? which is a load of B.S. Jail the savages.
Throw these monsters in jail for a very long time. They were just too lazy to care for the poor dog. What a pair of despicable, low-life pieces of garbage they are! Poor innocent dog.
Say what they like, they are guilty as charged! A picture speaks a thousand words, poor dog was definitely ignored and neglected intentionally, he/she looks so emaciated and sad.. There isnt any food or water around?!!! Btw, would these heartless scums allow their kids to do the same to them when they grow old and sickly? Pets are family members too for crying out loud! Please reveal their names and send them to prison. Lifetime ban on owning pets!
Too easy an argument ! What about seeking help, re-homing the dog or any action showing any compassion about their own pet ?Outrageous and unacceptable coming from a police woman. Letting her pet suffer and live in a disgusting crate alone and unloved, no food, no water, no space until nothing was left but putting the animal down cannot be justified, nor being excused. This woman and her husband must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and punished as well as getting a lifetime ban on owning any animal at all. Get both of them jailed. Justice for this dog !
I don’t care what the circumstances were, any person can see that
innocent dog was not taken care of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Police woman or regular woman she should be given jail time or better yet
treat her EXACTLY as she treated that INNOCENT dog!! Put her in shit filled crate and starve her !! That’s what she deserves !!!!
This scumbag POS police officer needs to go to prison NOW!
Throw this evil slag and her disgusting other half in the cage & let them rot!
We demand he go to jail. And serious mental treatment.
Absolutely unacceptable. She is no better than anyone else lock her up!! She never was a cop , she took an oath and broke it . She had a roof over her head and food to eat , she could’ve taken care of this dog.
OMG, RIP poor precious dog…..That evil police officer must HANG!!! Punish that sadistic devil to death!!! Make her and her brainless husband pay for what they have done to this poor innocent dog!!!!!
Please ensure that this POS that’s in a position to protect the community, be prosecuted to the fullest. This innocent animal did not deserve such abuse. I’m actually sick and tired of reading about these horrific crimes, and nothing is actually done. What’s happened to this country’s judicial system?🤬
