Target: Boone County, MO Prosecuting Attorney
Goal: Hold dog breeder accountable for alleged animal abuse resulting in the deaths of at least four dogs and severe neglect of others.
Shocking allegations against Melissa Sanders, owner of Magnum Opus German Shepherds, expose a horrific case of apparent animal abuse in Boone County. Reports indicate that several dead dogs and their remains were discovered on her property, alongside malnourished living dogs left in deplorable conditions. As recounted, one dog died from strangulation while in her care, prompting an investigation that unveiled further disturbing facts about the treatment of these animals.
Witness accounts suggest that Animal Control had previously engaged with Sanders regarding her operations, expressing concerns about dogs dying under her care. However, her reluctance to allow inspections appears to have hindered timely action. Upon executing a search warrant, authorities reportedly found not only a litter of puppies without food or water, but also an overwhelming stench emanating from the building, indicating neglect. The alleged horrifying discovery of multiple dead dogs and dog skulls nearby raises serious questions about Sanders’ practices.
Addressing this egregious situation is paramount for the sake of the surviving dogs and to prevent further tragedies. The demand is clear: appropriate legal actions must be taken against Melissa Sanders to ensure justice for the animals that allegedly suffered under her care.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Boone County Prosecuting Attorney,
The allegations surrounding Melissa Sanders and her dog-breeding and boarding facility are deeply disturbing and have left the community outraged. Sanders is facing multiple charges of animal abuse, with horrifying evidence seemingly suggesting that at least four dogs were found dead on her property, while many others were neglected to the point of being malnourished and even resorting to eating the deceased.
Moreover, the alleged findings of dog skulls and remains in her facility paint a gruesome picture of neglect and abuse that demands accountability. Despite prior warnings and attempts by Animal Control to address these issues, the situation reached a point where lives were apparently lost under her care. This raises significant concerns about the safety and well-being of animals entrusted to breeders and boarders like Sanders.
We urge you to take a strong stance and ensure that appropriate charges are filed, emphasizing the need for justice for the animals who allegedly suffered unimaginable cruelty. The community is counting on you to hold Melissa Sanders accountable for her actions and to demonstrate that animal abuse will not be overlooked in Boone County.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
