Target: F. Clay Merris IV, Perry County, PA District Attorney
Goal: Hold the individuals responsible for the alleged hanging death of Ruby, the pit bull, accountable for animal cruelty.
A horrifying case of animal cruelty has emerged in Perry County, where a pit bull named Ruby was reportedly found hanging by the hind legs in the basement of a couple’s home. The chilling circumstances of her death are compounded by the fact that she was in the care of these individuals, who were fostering her alongside another dog since January. Ruby’s owner, who was seeking a safe environment for her dogs amidst personal turmoil, had initially been assured of their well-being. However, a tragic turn of events reportedly led to the discovery of Ruby’s body, raising urgent concerns about the couple’s treatment of the animals.
The investigation reveals distressing details about potential neglect and abuse. Ruby’s owner received a heart-wrenching call from a relative of the fostering couple, who said that Ruby had been hanged, with the couple accusing the dog of an attack. This deflection of blame is alarming and raises questions about the couples’ responsibility for the welfare of the animals entrusted to their care. Furthermore, the second dog, Hades, was reportedly returned to the owner showing signs of neglect and requiring significant veterinary attention.
This petition calls for the prosecution of the individuals involved in Ruby’s tragic and brutal death. Allowing these allegations to go unpunished would not only be a disservice to Ruby but also to countless other animals at risk of similar fates. It is imperative that those responsible face appropriate legal consequences to deter future acts of cruelty and to ensure the safety of vulnerable animals in our community.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Merris,
The details surrounding the tragic death of Ruby, a pit bull allegedly found hanging by her hind legs in a couple’s basement, are deeply disturbing and demand immediate action. Ruby had been fostering under the care of this couple, who reportedly displayed a shocking disregard for the animal’s well-being. The apparent neglect and abuse exhibited towards Ruby and her companion, Hades, necessitate a thorough investigation and accountability for those involved.
The account provided by Ruby’s owner, who trusted this couple to foster her dogs during a personal crisis, paints a harrowing picture of betrayal and neglect. Allowing these allegations to remain unaddressed would send a chilling message that animal cruelty can go unpunished. This case stands as a reminder that the protection of our community’s animals must be prioritized, and those who harm them must be held accountable.
Therefore, we urge you to take decisive action in prosecuting the individuals allegedly responsible for Ruby’s death and ensuring they face the full extent of the law. Justice for Ruby is essential, and it is vital that this case serves as a precedent for protecting animals from cruelty in the future.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
