Target: U.S. Attorney Erek L. Barron
Goal: Seek maximum penalties for the individual who reportedly abused and electrocuted dogs in a dogfighting operation.
Over the course of more than twenty years, a former Department of Defense official reportedly operated a clandestine dogfighting kennel, subjecting dogs to brutal abuse and fatal electrocution. Investigators allegedly discovered five pitbull-type dogs confined in large metal cages within a windowless basement room, along with a jumper-cable device prosecutors say was used to electrocute dogs and a blood-stained carpet.
A years-long investigation reportedly uncovered that the individual ran a dogfighting enterprise named “Geehad Kennels” and was connected to a larger dogfighting network known as the “DMV Board.” Evidence allegedly included messages and media related to breeding, training, and fighting dogs, as well as disguised monetary transactions for dogfighting activities.
Such severe alleged cruelty and exploitation of animals cannot be overlooked. It is imperative that the full weight of the law is applied to ensure justice for the innocent animals that suffered. Demand that the U.S. Attorney seeks the maximum penalties and fully prosecutes this case to deter future acts of animal cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear U.S. Attorney Erek L. Barron,
We are deeply troubled by reports that a former high-ranking official reportedly operated a dogfighting kennel for over two decades, subjecting dogs to extreme abuse, including electrocution and forced combat. The discovery of dogs confined in a windowless basement, along with devices allegedly used for electrocution and a blood-stained carpet, underscores the severity of this case.
The alleged involvement in a broader dogfighting network and the evidence of breeding, training, and disguising monetary transactions for illegal activities highlight a calculated and prolonged disregard for animal welfare and the law. Such actions not only inflict unimaginable suffering on innocent animals but also undermine the integrity of our legal system.
We urge your office to seek the maximum penalties and ensure full prosecution of this individual. Taking strong legal action will serve justice for the animals harmed and send a clear message that such cruelty will not be tolerated.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
