Dog Apparently Kicked and Threatened With Fake Gun: Demand Justice

Target: Diana Becton, Contra Costa County District Attorney, California

Goal: Impose maximum penalties on those reportedly responsible for kicking a defenseless dog and brandishing an imitation firearm.

Two individuals allegedly confronted a dog’s caretaker over a minor dispute, reportedly escalating the situation to disturbing levels. According to accounts, one suspect pulled out a fake gun while instructing the other to kick the unsuspecting dog. Footage of this apparent act, shared on social media, captured the moment the frightened animal was lifted off the ground by the force of the blow.

Law enforcement later charged the suspects with cruelty to animals and other offenses, highlighting the severity of these allegations. Witnesses claim that one of the suspects also falsely called the authorities, purporting to be threatened by the dog’s guardian. Despite the arrests, many fear that the punishment might not reflect the apparent cruelty displayed toward a helpless living being.

Stronger consequences for those who allegedly commit such callous acts can serve as a powerful deterrent against future acts of abuse. If found guilty, the individuals involved could face substantial fines and jail time. Sign below and demand the highest applicable penalties under the law, ensuring that innocent animals receive the protection they deserve.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear DA Diana Becton,

We, the undersigned, write to express alarm over reports that two individuals brandished an imitation firearm and kicked a defenseless dog during a heated dispute. The shocking footage that apparently shows this dog being violently propelled off the ground underscores a grave lack of regard for an animal’s safety.

These claims indicate that the alleged perpetrators took deliberate steps—one retrieving the imitation weapon while the other inflicted harm on the dog. Beyond the physical abuse, additional accusations of a false police report intensify the concern that these individuals may pose further threats if not held fully accountable.

We respectfully urge you to pursue the most serious legal consequences for those apparently involved in this incident. A strong response will help deter future cruelty and affirm that all animals must be protected from needless violence.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
