Target: Steve Wolfson, District Attorney, Clark County, NV
Goal: Find and prosecute people responsible for mutilating dogs.
The city of Las Vegas, Nevada is seeing a rash of horrific dog abuse cases. The most recent case involved a dog found so horrifically cut-up and mutilated that the images cannot be shown without being blurred.
The poor animal was discovered by a passerby who discovered the mutilated dog deceased inside a metal crate on the side of the road. The passerby stated, “Who could possibly ever harm a dog like this?” It’s an image that I’ll never get out of my head.”
Unfortunately, this abuse is only one of multiple graphic abuse cases that have occurred in Las Vegas recently. Another dead dog was found with vicious chemical burns across its body, while another dog was discovered strung up over a fence.
Chelsea Ward, president of Southern Nevada Animal Rescue League lamented that there’s been a spike in abuse and neglect cases lately and urged the public to report cases of animal abuse they witness.
While the Las Vegas Metro Police are investigating this crime, no suspects have been identified.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Steve Wolfson, District Attorney,
A wave of horrific animal abuse has hit Las Vegas. Most recently, a brutally mutilated dog was discovered in a metal crate on the side of the road. The abuse to this innocent animal was so severe that photos of the scene need to be blurred.
Unfortunately, this is not the only case of severe abuse recently discovered in Las Vegas. Apparently, another dog was found strung up over a fence, while another was discovered with severe chemical burns across its body.
Animal abuse can never be tolerated and this crime wave must be stopped before it grows. Please devote additional resources to finding and prosecuting those responsible for these crimes.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
