Target: Lucy Wilke, District Attorney of Kerr County, TX
Goal: Seek maximum charges against man accused of brutally killing and disposing of beloved family dog.
The search for a missing family dog ended in tragedy in Kerr County, Texas. A sheriff’s deputy allegedly discovered the dog’s body in a creek. Reports indicate the canine was killed “in a cruel way.”
Authorities arrested and later charged Cade Joseph Stanton with animal cruelty. Although details are sparse, the specific charge involves causing bodily harm to, poisoning, or killing a non-livestock animal. Other charges could be forthcoming, according to prosecutors. This incident is not the suspect’s first brush with the law, as he faced an assault conviction in 2024. That conviction only resulted in a short jail stint.
Sign the petition below to ensure justice is not denied in this troubling case.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Wilke,
The animal cruelty charges that resulted from the alleged discovery of a deceased dog in a creek should not be the end of the discussion. The suspect in this case, Cade Joseph Stanton, already had a demonstrated history of violence, as evidenced by his prior conviction for assault against a family member. If further charges are warranted, as possibly indicated in public statements, please pursue these charges – and corresponding punishments – fully.
Take a decisive stand against any violence that threatens or ends a vulnerable life.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
