Call for Justice for Dog Reportedly Punched While Held by Leash

Target: Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle, Florida

Goal: Ensure the alleged abuser faces legal consequences for reportedly punching his dog in the face multiple times.

A disturbing video recently emerged, reportedly showing a man in Homestead repeatedly punching his pet dog in the face while holding it by a leash. This apparent act of animal cruelty has sparked outrage and calls for justice from the community. The incident allegedly took place in a neighborhood off 288th Street, and the footage has left neighbors and animal advocates deeply disturbed.

Further details have emerged from the Friends of Miami Animal Foundation, which shared an image of what is believed to be the dog’s makeshift kennel. The foundation’s president, Yolanda Berkowitz, has alleged that the owner has a history of such behavior. She expressed grave concern over the owner’s apparent willingness to commit such an act in broad daylight, highlighting broader issues of animal welfare in the community.

Given the severity of the alleged cruelty, it is imperative to pursue legal action against the owner. Authorities must ensure that a thorough investigation is conducted, and if the allegations are substantiated, appropriate charges must be filed. The dog involved should be placed under the care of Miami-Dade Animal Services to ensure its safety. Deter future acts of animal abuse and uphold the standards of humane treatment for all animals.
