Target: District Attorney Yvonne Rosales, El Paso
Goal: Prosecute man accused of starving pit bull nearly to death.
An extremely emaciated pit bull named Roxy was reportedly found with her ribs sticking out and her organs failing due to severe malnourishment. The poor creature was also a new mom with a litter of 10-day-old puppies.
Roxy was seen by a good Samaritan who alerted authorities to the situation. Although rescuers were able to confiscate Roxy and her puppies, a second reportedly abused dog was unable to be located.
When Roxy was taken in for medical care, veterinarians reportedly discovered that her condition was so severe that her body was no longer able to digest fats, her liver count and red blood count were low, and she had a GI tract infection. Roxy is currently being fed every hour by her foster family.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Yvonne Rosales,
A dog named Roxy was recently rescued in your jurisdiction. Roxy was apparently extremely malnourished. According to reports, her ribs were sticking out, her body was no longer able to digest fats, her liver count and red blood count were low, and she had a GI tract infection.
Although the suspect has been arrested, he’s been offered only a $2,000 bond to walk out of jail.
I ask that you and your office devote all resources necessary to ensure that the person accused of committing this horrible abuse faces a vigorous prosecution, and strict punishment, if found guilty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

To let someone who has been this cruel to animals off with just a fine is ridiculous. People like this need to be placed under mental supervision; they are sick inividuals.
If we don’t start cracking down on creeps like this things will never get better.
INDEED THEY ARE.
Where is the other one they write about? They all deserve to get saved.
Amen
Animal abuse will continue as long as the justice system turns a blind eye to it and gives abusers a slap on the hand. It’s a shame that, as interested in controlling our lives as the federal government is these days, that they can’t force states to see animal abuse for the federal felony the FBI considers it. Shame on the judge in this case for allowing this cretin out on the street. DA Rosales, do the right thing here and don’t be a disgrace to your position as so many of our law enforcement and justice system employees are. Lock this monster away and forget him (and his meals.)
SO WELL SAID DIANA!!!! I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO AD THAT ALL AND ANY ANIMAL ABUSERS NEED TO BE EXACUTED AND ONLY THEN WILL ANIMAL ABUSE STOP!!!!!
yes yes yes to you Diana & Patricia….I will never understand why POS humans want to torture innocent animals especially dogs.;…may they all get their days in hell and never have a peaceful day for the rest of their miserable life…..these scumbags are “animal haters” and the “an eye for an eye” will be catching up with you very very soon…..may you feel exactly the pain you have put this dog through…..I hope you rot in jail & never have another day to be happy…..you are a waste of the air we breathe.
Anen
The perpetrator should be treated the same.v
Make that heartless fu–ing SOB pay for all the medical care he should have paid before. Then starve him to death. there is NO other justice
Poor Roxy, I hope she pulls thru. And it is not just one case of cruelty, all the pups are at risk as well
Thus is so true. Gif bless the person that called in and Roxy her pups and pray they find the other dog
So in El Paso, it’s apparently okay to abuse animals??? That’s the message I’m getting. This man deserves some serious jail time (and no food until his ribs stick out)!
Serious ‘jail time‘ for this prick would be no good.
He would no doubt enjoy it!
What the bastard needs – and I know I keep saying it – is a fucking good thrashing and a few bones broken. This is the only way these cowardly bastards would maybe learn.
The law will not recognise the seriousness of these crimes so a few hard guys (or gals) could hopefully catch him one night and sort the shitbag once and for all.
It’s the only way these tossers will ever learn and would make them think twice before doing it again.
This is a RED STATE. Look at what pos Abbott said about chained dogs.
$2,000 that what a sweet dogs life threatening condition is worth …and all the aggravation and abuse/torture?. SOB
THAT IS NOT ENOUGH. THIS BASTARD HAS TO PAY MORE THAN THAT. THE LAW CAUSES THIS VICIOUS CYCLE. THIS IS ATTEMPTED MURDER …DAMN IT!!
AND NO MORE ANIMALS FOR LIFE …ALL HE DOES IS USE AND ABUSE THE ANIMALS !!!!!!!!!!!
I HOPE THE SAME KIND OF FATE YOU GAVE ROXY AND ALL THE OTHER DOGGIES IS ON THE HORIZON FOR YOU IN HELL!!!!
EVERYONE (no matter what age) that abuses, tortures, and has sex with animals, deserves no less than death…PERIOD!!
The article forget to name the ex owners sorry *ss pos name.
ANOTHER slap on the wrist. 1.Prosecute this scum, make him pay for ALL her medical bills! 2. Find the other dog that is being treated the same! 3. NEVER let this POS have Any other animal of any kind! 4. SPEAK for the voiceless and get the message out that this disgusting behavior is Not going to be allowed, Ever!! Prosecute Prosecute Prosecute Prosecute Prosecute.
Please submit my name.
PROSECUTE THIS SCUMBAG TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW AND HOPEFULLY THESE BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS WILL BE CARED FOR AND BROUGHT BACK TO GOOD HEALTH. MAY THEY GET ADOPTED INTO LOVING FAMILIES.
This clCRUEL & ABUSIVE IDIOT SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN ANY FOOD AND WATER FOR THE REST OF HIS MISERABLE LIFE BUT MAKE SURE HE CAN WATCH OTHER PEOPLE EAT AND DRINK!!!!!!
We need to get animal abusers out of being in charge. Thats how these guys get away with this stuff. Somebody knows where the other dog lives.
Take the person who did this n give them the same exact treatment! People will not learn if they get 3 meals a day, a bed to sleep on n recreation! Thats what jail gives!! Put this person in a cage n starve them!
Punish this POS the same as he did this poor dog, STARVE him till organs begin to fail. I can’t stomach animals that are classified as humans!!!!
Please prosecute this sub human! Don’t be so easy on him. And find the other abused dog! Animal torture must end! Look for guns drugs and dog fighting equipment.
You are right
This abuser should be in jail.
You are a piece of shit. My dogs always hsd food even if I had none. The birds in my garden grlet 2 loaves of bread a week plus mixed grain and special food. How do you do thos to animals. You eat dont you? Starve this fucker to death in prison.
