Target: Kym Worthy, Wayne County Prosecutor
Goal: Prosecute those allegedly responsible for the horrific abuse of Gideon the puppy to the fullest extent of the law.
Gideon, a three-month-old Jack Russell Terrier, reportedly endured unconscionable pain and suffering after being submerged in boiling water. Rescued by the Detroit Animal Welfare Group (DAWG), Gideon was allegedly found with third-degree burns covering his body, a condition described as unprecedented by rescue professionals. As reported, his plight sparked outrage and concern, leading to protests demanding accountability and swift justice. It is imperative that those alleged to have committed this atrocious act face serious legal repercussions, reflecting the severity of this egregious animal cruelty.
Further investigation into Gideon’s case apparently reveals the disturbing reality of animal abuse that often goes unpunished. DAWG spokesperson Kelly LaBonty expressed her frustration over the prolonged period without charges, emphasizing the need for justice that aligns with the gravity of the abuse allegedly inflicted on Gideon. Volunteers like Janet Austin have devoted significant time and resources to aid Gideon’s recovery, which involved extensive medical interventions and nurturing. The emotional toll on those advocating for Gideon can only be matched by their resolve in seeking justice, demanding that those responsible for his suffering be held accountable.
This case underscores a broader issue within the handling of animal abuse cases in general, highlighting the pressing need for justice that prioritizes the safety and well-being of vulnerable beings like Gideon. The way this case is managed will set a precedent for how similar cases are treated in the future. It is essential that the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office ensures a robust prosecution occurs for the sake of Gideon and all animals who cannot speak for themselves.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecutor Worthy,
The horror of the dog Gideon’s alleged abuse demands immediate and serious action. The allegations surrounding his traumatic experience, including being submerged in boiling water, have shocked our community and sparked widespread protests seeking justice. Gideon’s painful recovery and the dedicated efforts of his rescuers highlight the urgent need for accountability. It is crucial that those allegedly responsible for this heinous act of animal cruelty face the full weight of the law, as a mere slap on the wrist would send a damaging message about the severity of such crimes.
As you continue your investigation, we implore you to prioritize the prosecution of those allegedly involved in Gideon’s suffering. The voices of advocates and supporters cannot be ignored; we stand united in our demand for a thorough and timely pursuit of justice. The community’s response to Gideon’s plight reflects a profound commitment to protecting the rights of all animals, and it is essential that this determination leads to meaningful legal consequences for the accused.
We urge you to take definitive action to ensure that Gideon’s case is treated with the seriousness it warrants. Animals like Gideon deserve justice, and the work of your office can establish a landmark precedent for the treatment of animal cruelty cases in Wayne County. Prosecute those allegedly responsible for Gideon’s horrific abuse to the fullest extent of the law.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Damn, how I wish that all animal abusers/torturers could be euthanized!
Preferably, in this case, BOILED alive….
Euthanization is used to end suffering from a condition or disease that will never get better, only worse (disease, severe injuries). It is time to stop whitewashing the killing of animals for which this term is so ubiquitously used. I do not mean to criticize but the two are very different, even if the end is the same.
FFS. I hope someone finds these evil fucking monsters.. Beat the shit out of their putrid bodies & set them on fire. They NEED to experience unimaginable suffering & feel what it’s like… THIS IS WHAT THEY DO TO ANIMALS… NON STOP!!!
When the fuck is SERIOUS PUNISHMENT GOING TO HAPPEN???? This CANNOT GO ON!!!!!!!!!!!
Torture of animals given by humans. These humans need the same punishment they gave to the animals. Telling them they can no longer have animals is not a punishment they will remember.
Boil the bastard man
Very important to speak up for Gideon. People thR do these things r sycopaths do not need to be loose. Animals r defenseless it is for us to take care if the punishment required for the crime that harms animals or humans. People like this have no conscience.nobe at all for what they have done. This person needs to be made to take care of animals under supervision only and never be able to have an animaL of their own. Jail time us a must plus a fine and payment of the treatment that Gideon requires. Or just boil her.
horrors of hurting a puppy, and hearing him suffer!!! Abusers need to be put in the same situation.
If i was the owner of tye puppy, justice would be swift
#JusticeForGideon
Boil them.
ADAM HARRIS. I AGREE. BOIL THEM. SIMPLE. LIKE FOR LIKE
Death Penalty for these people. Make it PAINFUL!
What the he$$ is wrong with the criminal justice system in Wayne County!! This right here is extreme animal abuse and the abuser(s) should get more than the maximum penalty. For God’s Sake do your job and let’s get justice for this poor dog!
They need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. What kind of person could do such a thing. The same that would abuse a child.
Castrate the bastards so they cannot breed
Poor little Gideon, the UNIMAGINABLE pain and suffering he has endured 😭😩 !!!! ….There was a case in our nearby city a few years ago where a man placed his baby in boiling hot bath water saying lamely that “I forgot to turn the cold water on” and that poor child went through so much misery and suffering that is is INCOMPREHENSIBLE 😢😫 !!!! I ask the Prosecutor in this case, “Do you want to see this happen to an innocent child ????” They only seem to give a care when it’s about kids and not even then sometimes, and this is about an innocent vulnerable sweet pup no different than a helpless defenseless baby. My personal belief is that the perpetrators of this merciless crime should be boiled alive until just barely cooked and then stick a giant fork in them and call them DONE. 😡 😠
Tie this man to a tree in the woods and leave him there.
Evil degenerate retard pieces of shit. They need the same treatment to happen to them
Boil the S.O.B.!!!!
I agree with Hermine, an aye for an eye! What normal person dies that? Evan one who doesn’t like cats and dogs would not have a cruel,evil,malicious streak to do something so cruel! It’s a deranged sick person and depriving him of animals doesn’t do anything!! He is Evan happy because he doesn’t care for them and he didn’t go to jail! He is laughing at the court!!
OMG I sat here reading this horrible horrible story of animal abuse and the tears are running down my face. I would do anything to save this poor dog. Who in the hell could ever be this mean and abusive to any animal – WTF is wrong with this world and these people. These bastards need to be dropped in a vat of boiling water and then just put the lid on it and walk away. They deserve nothing better – death is the only solution to these abusers – this is just animal abuse beyond belief.
Humans are the worst trash of living creatures!! I hope one’s who do this, have the worst of KARMA back at them!!
It is beyond me how people can be so sadistic and cause such pain and terror and feel nothing.
To do nothing to this person or people is to condone violence against nonhuman animals who feel no less terror and pain than any person would.
