Target: Attorney General Andrew Bailey, Missouri
Goal: Prosecute individual allegedly responsible for shooting and killing a tied-up dog to the fullest extent of the law.
A 61-year-old man in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, has been charged with misdemeanor animal abuse after he reportedly shot and killed a dog named Dollar, who was tied up in its own yard. The pit bull, owned by Walter D. Combs Jr., was allegedly killed while chained to a fence, unable to defend itself or escape.
The alleged shooter, Morrie Lee Carwile, is also charged with tampering with physical evidence for reportedly hiding the firearm used in the incident. The tragic event unfolded after Carwile’s own dog, a Great Pyrenees, reportedly got off its leash and approached Dollar’s property. Despite the pit bull being restrained, Carwile allegedly took lethal action against the defenseless animal.
This apparent act of unnecessary violence against a helpless dog highlights the urgent need for strict enforcement of animal cruelty laws. It is imperative to hold those allegedly responsible accountable to prevent future acts of cruelty. Demand that the Missouri Attorney General ensures justice is served by prosecuting this case to the fullest extent of the law.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Attorney General Andrew Bailey,
I am writing to express deep concern over the recent incident in Cape Girardeau where a man allegedly shot and killed a dog named Dollar while it was tied up in its own yard. The pit bull was reportedly chained to a fence on its owner’s property when it was fatally shot, unable to escape or defend itself.
The alleged shooter, who is charged with misdemeanor animal abuse and tampering with physical evidence, reportedly took this drastic action after his own dog got loose and approached the pit bull’s property. This apparent disregard for the life of a defenseless animal is troubling and warrants serious legal action.
I urge you to ensure that this case is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. By taking decisive action, you can reinforce the importance of animal welfare laws and deter future acts of cruelty. Please prioritize this case to ensure that justice is served for Dollar and to uphold the standards of humane treatment for all animals.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
