Target: Steven B. Wolfson, District Attorney, Clark County, Nevada
Goal: File the highest supported cruelty charges, seek maximum penalties with consecutive counts, require restitution and counseling, and secure a permanent ban on animal ownership for the individual reportedly filmed striking a dog and leaving two dogs without shade or water.
A rescue group posted video that appears to show a man hitting a dog again and again with something attached at the end of a leash. Posts further allege two dogs were left without shade, water, or even a mat on scorching ground. Such scenes suggest sustained pain, panic, and dangerous heat exposure that can cause burns, heatstroke, organ damage, or death.
Witnesses reportedly submitted complaints for investigation. The footage apparently depicts deliberate blows combined with neglect during severe heat. Dogs confined on blistering surfaces without water can collapse within minutes. Tongues swell. Paws burn. Breathing turns frantic. Suffering compounds with each passing moment.
Strong prosecution can protect pets across the county. Maximum charges, firm jail sentence, fines, and a lifetime prohibition on owning or handling animals would set a clear line. Court ordered counseling or anger management programming should accompany any conviction or plea. Sign below to demand justice that matches the cruelty allegedly recorded to prevent repeat harm.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Wolfson,
We are alarmed by a video that allegedly shows a man striking a dog repeatedly with an object at the end of a leash while two dogs were reportedly left without shade or water on scorching ground. These accounts describe purposeful blows paired with hazardous heat neglect that can inflict extreme pain and life‑threatening injury.
We respectfully ask your office to pursue the highest supported charges, seek maximum penalties, and request consecutive counts where permitted. Please also seek restitution for veterinary and shelter costs, a lifetime ban on owning, possessing, or working with animals, and mandatory counseling aimed at preventing future violence.
A decisive response will show that recorded cruelty and heat neglect will not be minimized in Clark County. Firm penalties and lasting safeguards can deter future abuse and protect vulnerable animals.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
