Target: Douglas County, Nebraska Attorney Donald W. Kleine
Goal: Give man prison sentence if it is proved he abandoned and starved his dog.
A dog named Tank was allegedly abandoned and starved for weeks before finally succumbing to death. Maurice Martin was arrested shortly afterwards on animal cruelty charges. He needs to spend time in prison if it is found he mistreated this innocent dog so other animals will be less likely to endure the same fate.
According to reports, Martin called the local humane society and said that there was a deceased dog in front of his home. The dog was allegedly emaciated and had many sores on his legs and hips. It was also reported that feces had been discovered inside Tank’s mouth. Parts of his body allegedly showed discoloration, including the paws and lips. A necropsy revealed that the fat and muscle had not been properly stored in Tanks’ body and that he also had pressure sores and frostbite.
Authorities claimed they eventually discovered that Tank belonged to Martin. Sign this petition to demand Tank receive justice if it is found he was neglected or abused by his owner.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear County Attorney Kleine,
Maurice Martin was arrested for animal cruelty after officers said he starved and neglected his dog Tank for weeks. He needs to receive a tough legal sentence if it is found this is the case to make it less likely other animals will suffer under his care.
Martin allegedly called the Nebraska Humane Society to report that there was a deceased dog lying outside of his residence. The dog was said to be extremely malnourished with wounds present throughout his body. Authorities claimed that most of Tank’s body was discolored, likely as a result of not being fed in weeks. It was additionally claimed that feces were found inside Tank’s mouth. Frostbite and pressure sores on his body were also identified by experts during a necropsy procedure. Although the necropsy showed that the dog died because of starvation, he was also thought to have been suffering from gastric ulceration and anemia due to the ulcers.
For these reasons, I demand you suggest Maurice receive a strict legal sentence for his actions if it is determined he abandoned or harmed his dog Tank in any way.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

WHAT A MONSTER IS THIS. AND DOING IF TANK WAS NOT HIS DOG WHEN HE CALLED A HUMAN SOCIETY. PUT THAT MAN IN JAIL WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER AND LET HIM HAVE THE SAME DEATH AS POOR TANK. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DOG. IN BELGIUM WE CALL HIM A KING CHARLES DOG. THEY ARE SO SWEET. HOW CAN A MAN -NO IT IS NOT A MAN BUT A MONSTER DO SUCH THING TO SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DOG?????
Amen, agree. This POS a waste of flesh. Hope he dies slowly and horribly a taste of how Tank suffered. MM is a piece of garbage and World a better place without trash like this. RIP Tank.. justice.
I couldn’t agree more.
They use stock pics here when they don’t have a pic of the real dog so the dog in this pic is probably NOT the real dog.
I agree poor baby RIP tank send this jerk to prison for a long long time
Make this monster eat his own faeces and let him starve to death….
I so hope that could be the outcome of this scumbag!!
100%. this is truly the lowest depth of misery. a black soul at its finest. Euthanize the monster. The planet has not space for such scum
MY CENTIMENTS EXACTLY!!!! AN EYE FOR AN EYE!!! GET THIS SICK PHYCOPATH OFF THE FACE OF THIS EARTH!!!!
I agree!!!
Hang him!!
Same fate for this monster
What a scumbag piece of filth deserves the death penalty!! Disgusting asshole could have surrender the dog to a shelter but instead it let that poor baby suffer an agonizing painful death. I hope you rot in jail or get the lethal injection!!! No taxpayers should feed this monster!!!
Sleep tight Tank, you are safe now and you will know what what it is like to feel real love, there are lots of nice people where you that will love and cherish you Tank.
Be the happy fur baby you were meant to be, jump the happy rainbow with you little tail wagging as fast as it can and you little voice bellowing LOUD AND PROUD..
We all love you Tank.
Martin needs prison time and he shouldn’t be allowed to have any pets in his possession or near him.Animals are innocent ,they cannot speak or fend for themselves!…..
This SOB Martin needs to endure what the poor innocent Tank did. NOTHING else is justice. Throw this subhuman in a crate, lock it and walk away. Let him eat his feces to survive, then when he is dead. Throw him in the dumpster. There is NO excuse for this. RIP Tank
Dogs are truly Men’s best friend, but Men are not always dogs’ best friends. It is unbelievable what so many do to such wonderful beings, who want nothing more than love, food, and water. I hope this man and all animal abusers will eventually feel whatever they did to the animals they supposedly cared for. I think we all see it in our areas, such abusers are everywhere. It is absolutely heartbreaking that so many dogs, cats, and other animals have to endure in the hands of humans.
Put him in a jail cell, feed him only dog poop, watch him slowly die….doesn’t deserve any better than this…
Yep that’s an idea
Maurice Martin, aka POS, deliberately starved this dog, and deserves prison time. If anyone knows or has watched an animal die of starvation, it is absolutely the most horrific and painful experience. Their organs shut down, they convulse violently, and they experience tremendous pain. It would take a demon possessed human to commit such an act against innocence. Why do we continue to let these monsters off the hook? I don’t understand.
Monstrous monstrous evil, heartbreaking and horrific, karma is theirs – I feel you, poor lost innocent souls; their blood on your souls
The abuse, torture & murder of the innocents
Some heartbreaks can never be unseen, some horrors never unheard – PLEASE GOD
And the universe weeps tears of blood
Your life as theirs, as their death
This subhuman must get a very long prison sentence. When he gets out force fines for life to an animal rescue.
This is intentional animal abuse and neglect at its worst.Maurice Martin is a cruel monster, who deserves to suffer a slow torturous death, in the same way he murdered Tank! At the very least, he should be charged with felony animal abuse, and prosecuted to the max with an extensive, mandatory jail sentence!…POS!!
A-hole martin isn’t starving!!!!! But he should be and deserves the same fate as the innocent pup who was unfortunate to ever be in that monster’s life!!! RIP Tank.
An eye for an eye- starve him and make an example that animal abuse will NOT be tolerated!!!!!
Where are the Neighbors in all this, clearly they know the Dog was left outside to suffer like this and never reported him. While I find this Man COMPLETELY IGNORANT and lacking empathy the Neighbors or even this Man’s friends or relatives are just as much to blame for not reporting him and are EQUALLY IGNORANT. A Society with no Morals or Value for a Life. A living, breathing, beautiful, soul. This Dog is free of it’s suffering.
this creep should be put away for good
Why aren’t these cruelty laws more strict. Anyone who can read what this peckerless POS did to this poor innocent soul and not want to freakin’ kill him with the same abuse he put that sweet dog through is beyond me. To me the pup had more rights than that crap head. I’m sure he has already reproduced more humans too. They should die too. 98% chance They won’t turn out better than him.
WE NEED TOUGHER LAWS TO PROTECT INNOCENT ANIMALS STARTING NOW. THE GENERAL PIBLIC DOES NOT WANT MONSTERS LIKE HIM WAKING AMONGST US PEOPLE WHO RESPECT ANIMALS.
This guy needs to be put in prison and he needs to stay in prison. RIP Tank. It just makes me sick that there are people out there who can do such abuse to innocent animals. But, yeah, prison would be good for this jerk – he’d meet his match in there.
This scumbag deserves the same treatment he gave to this poor baby.I would happily tie him outside in a Nebraska winter to ensure that the EXACT same care he provided to Tank is equally provided to him!
