Target: Sarah Hacker, Kings County District Attorney, Kings County, California
Goal: Pursue the strongest criminal penalties after a dog was allegedly beaten and left injured inside a residential property.
A dog was allegedly beaten inside the backyard of a home, resulting in serious injuries. Officers were called to the residence following reports of animal abuse. When they arrived, the suspect reportedly barricaded himself inside the house, delaying intervention while the injured dog remained at risk.
Officers were eventually able to remove the dog from the property and reunite her with her owners. The dog, named Doja, reportedly required veterinary treatment for injuries to her paws and jaw, indicating significant force may have been used. The investigation remains ongoing as police continue to gather evidence and witness statements related to the alleged abuse.
When animals are allegedly subjected to violent physical harm, swift accountability is essential. Such acts cause severe pain, long-term trauma, and can escalate if left unaddressed. This petition calls for full prosecution under California animal cruelty laws and penalties that reflect the seriousness of the alleged violence inflicted on a defenseless animal.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Hacker,
We are writing to express grave concern over reports that a dog was beaten in a residential backyard, sustaining injuries to her paws and jaw. As reported by law enforcement, officers responded to an animal abuse call and encountered resistance while attempting to intervene.
The reported injuries required veterinary treatment and suggest the dog may have endured significant pain and trauma. Such alleged acts of violence toward animals demand careful investigation and firm legal response to protect animals and uphold community safety.
We respectfully urge your office to thoroughly investigate this case and to pursue all appropriate charges if the evidence supports them. Please seek penalties that reflect the seriousness of the alleged cruelty and ensure accountability for harm reportedly inflicted on an innocent animal.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
