Target: Sean Teare, District Attorney of Harris County, Texas
Goal: Identify and strictly prosecute the individual responsible for slashing a defenseless dog across the face, head, and shoulder with a sharp object and fracturing her jaw.
A defenseless dog was discovered lying on her side near a wooded area. Her face, head, and shoulder contained deep lacerations that a veterinarian described as having been caused by a sharp object — such as a knife or machete. The animal was critically injured and brought to the Houston SPCA Animal Hospital, where staff described her condition as severe. A staff veterinarian stated she had never witnessed such a brutal attack on a dog — with wounds so deep and numerous that they point to a sustained and deliberate act of extreme violence against a helpless animal.
According to the Houston SPCA, in addition to the multiple deep slash wounds covering her face, head, and shoulder, the dog also suffered a fractured jaw — an injury consistent with a forceful, targeted blow. The dog was found lying on her side near a wooded area, suggesting she may have been left for dead after the attack. She is currently stable and is being closely monitored as she begins the long road to recovery. Houston SPCA Animal Cruelty Investigators are actively investigating the incident and seeking information from the public.
Whoever committed this act of savage violence against a defenseless animal must be identified and held fully accountable under Texas law, which provides for serious criminal penalties in cases of animal cruelty. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office has the authority to ensure that the perpetrator of this attack faces the full weight of those penalties. No animal should be left bloodied and broken near a wooded roadside, hacked with a blade and discarded. Sign this petition to demand justice for this dog and to send an unambiguous message that animal cruelty of this severity will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Sean Teare,
We are writing to urge your office to take immediate and decisive action to identify and prosecute the individual responsible for a vicious attack on a dog recently discovered critically injured near a wooded area in Baytown. According to the Houston SPCA, the dog was found lying on her side with multiple deep lacerations to her face, head, and shoulder — wounds a staff veterinarian described as caused by a sharp object such as a knife or machete. The dog also suffered a fractured jaw. The attending veterinarian stated she had never witnessed such a brutal attack on a dog in her professional experience.
This was not a single wound or an accident — it involved multiple deep lacerations across the dog’s face and head, and a broken jaw, suggesting a deliberate and sustained act of violence against a helpless animal. The dog was left for dead near a wooded roadside, critically injured and unable to seek help. She survived only because a passerby found her in time. The individual responsible for inflicting this suffering must be identified and brought to justice.
We respectfully but firmly demand that your office commit to prosecuting this case to the fullest extent permitted under Texas animal cruelty law once a suspect is identified. We also encourage your office to work closely with Houston SPCA Animal Cruelty investigators to support their ongoing investigation. This dog had no voice and no means to defend herself — it is now the responsibility of the justice system to speak for her.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
