Target: Alexis King, Colorado First Judicial District Attorney
Goal: Investigate and prosecute those responsible for the stabbing and burning of a dog named Iris.
In early September, a pit bull-type dog, now named Iris, was found wandering alone in Majestic View Park with severe injuries, including stab wounds and a large burn on her face. Authorities believe these injuries were the result of intentional abuse. Iris was thin, dehydrated, and in obvious pain when Arvada police discovered her and brought her to the Foothills Animal Shelter.
Thanks to the dedication of veterinarians and shelter staff, Iris received critical medical care, including surgery to treat the burn on her face. While Iris has made a remarkable recovery and now lives in a loving foster home, her journey highlights the cruelty she endured at the hands of an unknown perpetrator. Such abuse cannot go unpunished.
Animal cruelty is a serious offense that not only causes immense suffering but also indicates a broader threat to community safety. It is imperative that the individual(s) responsible for Iris’s suffering are identified, investigated, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law to ensure justice for her and to prevent future acts of cruelty.
We urge Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Shrader to allocate all necessary resources to thoroughly investigate this case and ensure the responsible parties are held accountable. Justice for Iris is not just about punishing her abuser, but also about sending a clear message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our communities.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Alexis King,
The case of Iris, a dog found in Majestic View Park with stab wounds and a severe burn on her face, is a tragic reminder of the cruelty that animals can face. Iris’s injuries, which included dehydration, malnutrition, and visible wounds, were the result of intentional abuse.
Thanks to the efforts of the Foothills Animal Shelter and community support, Iris has made a remarkable recovery and now lives in a loving home. However, her abuser remains at large, posing a potential threat to other animals and possibly the community.
Animal cruelty is a serious crime that must be met with swift and decisive action. We respectfully urge you to prioritize the investigation into Iris’s case and dedicate the resources necessary to identify and prosecute the individual(s) responsible. By doing so, you will not only ensure justice for Iris but also reinforce the community’s commitment to protecting all living beings from harm.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your commitment to upholding justice and compassion.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
