Target: Kym Worthy, Wayne County Prosecutor, Michigan
Goal: Seek maximum penalties for anyone found responsible for stabbing and abusing a dog live on social media.
A deeply disturbing case of alleged animal cruelty has surfaced in Detroit, where a dog was reportedly seen on a live social media stream with severe stab wounds. A concerned resident alerted authorities, leading to the rescue of the injured pit bull along with six other neglected animals from a home.
According to witnesses, the pit bull suffered extensive injuries but is now receiving medical care. Reports indicate that two other dogs were found underweight and four cats were also rescued, with one suffering from injuries. Without the swift action of Detroit Animal Care and Control (DACC) and a tip from a concerned citizen, the suffering of these animals may have continued unchecked.
Animal cruelty is a serious crime, and cases as horrific as this must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The person or persons responsible must be held accountable to prevent further acts of violence against animals. The Detroit Police Department and the prosecutor’s office must ensure justice is served by seeking the maximum penalties allowed under the law.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecutor Worthy,
A horrific case of alleged animal cruelty has been brought to public attention after a dog was seen on a social media live stream, apparently with severe stab wounds. A community member alerted Detroit Animal Care and Control, which led to the rescue of this injured pit bull as well as six other animals from a home. Reports indicate that the dog suffered extensive injuries, while two other dogs were discovered underweight and four neglected cats were also found, one of which was injured.
Animal cruelty is a serious crime, and incidents like this must be met with the strongest legal response. The mistreatment and torture of innocent animals cannot be tolerated. Studies have repeatedly shown a link between acts of animal abuse and future violent behavior, making it imperative that those responsible face strict legal consequences.
We urge you to investigate this case thoroughly and seek just penalties under the law for those found guilty. By ensuring that justice is served, you will send a clear message that cruelty against animals will not be ignored or excused. Please take action to hold the perpetrator(s) accountable and prevent future cases of animal abuse.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
