Target: District Attorney Joe Gonzales, Bexar County, Texas
Goal: Ensure maximum punishment for alleged animal abuser and permanent safeguards for the puppy’s safety.
A heartbreaking video has surfaced appearing to show a three-month-old poodle being struck multiple times by its owner. The puppy, who was removed from the situation, is now under the care of San Antonio Animal Care Services (ACS) in a foster home, where its health is reportedly improving. However, the alleged abuser is undergoing legal proceedings, and justice must be served to ensure accountability.
According to ACS, the organization has been granted temporary custody of the puppy while the investigation and legal process unfold. While this provides some relief, it is essential to advocate for the strongest possible legal consequences for anyone found guilty of such cruel acts. Allegations of harming a defenseless animal demand a clear and firm response to protect the well-being of animals and send a message that abuse will not be tolerated.
No animal should suffer such mistreatment. Demand legal authorities impose strict penalties on those allegedly responsible for such cruelty and that they ensure this puppy finds a safe, loving permanent home once the legal process concludes.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Gonzales,
The recent case involving a three-month-old poodle, who was apparently struck multiple times by its owner, is deeply concerning and has sparked significant public outcry. We commend your efforts to secure temporary custody of the puppy and provide it with a safe environment. However, we urge you to take every step necessary to ensure that justice is served.
If the allegations of abuse are proven, the individual responsible must face the maximum legal consequences. Such acts of cruelty against a vulnerable animal are unacceptable and demand a strong legal response to deter similar actions in the future. Moreover, once the legal proceedings conclude, we request that you ensure the puppy is placed in a permanent, caring home where it can live free from harm.
This case represents an opportunity to demonstrate that San Antonio is committed to upholding the highest standards of animal welfare. We urge you to stand firm in your pursuit of justice for this puppy and take all steps to safeguard its well-being.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
