Target: Rick Wesenberg, District Attorney of Douglas County, OR
Goal: Hold man accountable for the alleged brutal killing and abuse of his dog.
A shocking case has emerged from Roseburg, Oregon, where Derek Lewis Moss, 21, reportedly killed his four-month-old puppy and recorded the brutal act on video. According to court documents, this horrific incident began when a concerned friend contacted authorities after witnessing Moss during a FaceTime call, covered in blood and admitting to taking his dog’s life. When police arrived at his apartment, they claim to have found blood stains on the walls and steps. The allegations further unfold as Moss’s girlfriend described a pattern of aggressive behavior towards the puppy that culminated in this tragic event.
Details of the incident present an alarming narrative. Police reports state that Moss slammed his puppy’s head on the ground multiple times after claiming the dog’s snoring was bothering him. Additionally, witnesses described Moss throwing the dog against a kennel and exhibiting intoxicated behavior. This horrific alleged behavior is compounded by his prior arrest for a violent crime, signaling a troubling pattern of aggression not only towards animals but also towards individuals. The graphic nature of the evidence, including video footage seemingly showing Moss smiling while he inflicts harm, underscores the necessity for urgent action against such cruelty.
Immediate measures are essential to prevent further incidents of brutality towards animals and to ensure that justice is served in this appalling case. The community is calling for the District Attorney to pursue the maximum legal penalties against Derek Lewis Moss as a reflection of the severe impact of his actions on both the victim and the broader community. The demand is clear: hold Moss accountable for his alleged crimes and advocate for stronger protections for vulnerable animals throughout the region.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Wesenberg,
The case of Derek Lewis Moss, who allegedly inflicted unimaginable cruelty on his four-month-old puppy, demands immediate and serious attention. The evidence presented suggests a premeditated act of animal abuse, characterized by Moss’s shocking admission and his recorded video in which he appears to smile while brutally killing his pet. The alleged actions taken by Moss, including slamming the puppy’s head into the ground multiple times, would highlight an alarming disregard for animal life and welfare.
Eyewitness accounts of Moss displaying increasingly aggressive behavior towards the puppy further illuminate a pattern of abuse that cannot be ignored. This case is not just about one dog’s tragic end; it reflects deeper issues of violence in our community that must be addressed. As his prior violent crime arrest suggests, there is a pressing risk that individuals who exhibit such a disregard for life may continue their harmful actions against both animals and people.
For the protection of animals in our community and to uphold justice, it is imperative that Derek Lewis Moss faces appropriate legal consequences. The community urges your office to pursue the strictest penalties available under the law for these horrific acts of cruelty. Stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves—hold Derek Lewis Moss accountable for his alleged crimes against his innocent puppy.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
