Demand Justice for Dog Allegedly Kicked and Stomped on Head

Target: Vernon Stewart, Harnett County District Attorney, North Carolina

Goal: Seek stricter penalties for the alleged abuser and gather donations to fund the essential surgeries for Contra and Duke, ensuring their full recovery and future adoption.

In a distressing case of animal cruelty, two American Bully dogs, Contra and Duke, were rescued after a neighbor provided evidence of their owner, Enoch Jace-Nathaniel Broadnax, allegedly kicking and stomping on Contra’s head. Dunn Animal Control Shelter is now seeking donations to cover the medical expenses for the dogs’ necessary surgeries, which are estimated to cost between $3,000 to $4,000.

Contra, a blue and white female, suffers from severe respiratory issues due to restricted nasal passages, which limit her outdoor time to just 5-10 minutes. Her surgery aims to alleviate her breathing difficulties, making her eligible for adoption once she recovers. Duke, a fawn tri-color male, experiences problems such as passing out due to inadequate oxygen intake, which has led to seizures. His surgery is crucial to improve his quality of life. Dr. Brittany McLamb at Dunn Animal Hospital will perform the surgery to address his medical condition.

Broadnax has been charged with three counts of animal cruelty but pleaded guilty to one count as part of a plea deal. He received a sentence of two years of supervised probation, 72 hours of community service, and restitution payments totaling $6,322.76. Additionally, he is prohibited from owning or caring for any dogs or cats during his probation period. Seek stricter penalties for abusers.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear District Attorney Vernon Stewart,

I am writing to express my deep concern and urge for stricter actions regarding the recent animal cruelty case involving Enoch Jace-Nathaniel Broadnax in Dunn, NC. Broadnax has reportedly been charged with multiple counts of animal cruelty after evidence surfaced showing him allegedly abusing two American Bully dogs, Contra and Duke.

Contra and Duke require urgent surgeries to address severe health issues stemming from the abuse they endured. The estimated cost for their surgeries ranges between $3,000 to $4,000. These surgeries are crucial to ensure their recovery and improve their quality of life.

While Broadnax has received a sentence of probation and community service, the gravity of his actions warrants a more stringent penalty. I urge your office to reconsider the charges and seek harsher punishment for such heinous acts of animal cruelty. Additionally, I request support for fundraising efforts to cover the medical expenses for Contra and Duke, ensuring they receive the necessary care and a chance for a better future.

Your intervention in this matter is essential to uphold justice and demonstrate that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our community. Let us work together to protect these innocent animals and prevent future cases of abuse.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
