Target: Clay County, Kentucky Attorney Joe White
Goal: Give people who allegedly locked dog inside apartment closet before moving tough legal sentence.
A malnourished dog was allegedly locked inside a closet and abandoned by the owners. Yvette Rogers and Ronnie Goodwin were arrested for the crime shortly afterwards. It is important they receive the maximum amount of time in prison as allowed by law if they are found guilty of this thoughtless act of animal cruelty to better ensure other dogs will remain safe.
The neighbors who allegedly found the dog said the fur was so matted the animal was in an extreme amount of pain. According to authorities, Rogers and Goodwin left the dog behind because their time to move out had expired. The animal was permanently seized and will eventually be put up for adoption. Rogers and Goodwin were charged with second degree animal cruelty. Sign this petition to demand they spend time behind bars if it is discovered they mistreated and neglected this innocent creature.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear County Attorney White,
Yvette Rogers and Ronnie Goodwin were arrested after neighbors reportedly found their dog abandoned inside their old apartment closet. While it is good news the suspects have been apprehended, they need to spend time in prison if it is found they committed this heinous act to better ensure other animals will not have to endure the same fate.
According to reports, the dog was found by neighbors. Authorities said the dog was malnourished and extremely matted to the point of being in pain. Police indicated that the suspects had left the dog behind because they were not able to take the animal with them when they moved. The dog will be re-homed, once fully recovered.
For the above stated reasons, I demand you suggest Rogers and Goodwin be sent to prison for a lengthy amount of time if they are found guilty of this vile and selfish act of animal cruelty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

This abuse has been happening for a long long time for a dog to be so matted. Why have a dog if you are not going to treat it as a family member? Answer they don’t want the responsibility. Drop it off at a shelter .
Time to lock these sick fucks in a closet until they ROT to death!!!!!!!
They should receive the mercy that they gave… none! The sentence should be to suffer like the dog. Give them understanding of what they did, nothing like 1st hand experience to let them know how it feels. JUSTICE
Exactly…I believe in payback!!
These types of evil vermin need to be stopped, but the equally guilty of both political parties allow these atrocities to continue no matter how heinous an abuse case against a defenseless, domesticated companion animal is, these vermin are allowed to continue harming them because of useless politicians not enacting strong enough laws and penalties(20 years mandatory for inherent animal abuse, especially dog fighting)which should include all assets!!! Enough of this BS already no more excuses!
If the legal system would STOP handing out a wrist slap for animal abuse, this horrible type of thing wouldn’t happen as much. Instead of handing out true justice for the voiceless the legal system hands out fines (which people just avoid paying) and probation (a weekend roadside clean-up duty). Until these crimes are treated with the same punishment and seriousness as child abuse (no, I know it’s not the sane thing ffs) these crimes will keep happening.
They deserve the maximum punishment. This poor dog was obviously neglected and abused for ages. Please don’t give them a slap on the wrist.
Have learned to dislike humans more and more each day.
Just post the lowlifes address
These 2 creeps should be locked in a closet until the earth is rid of them. Authorities never do anything and don’t take this abuse/ cruelty seriously. Things need to change-all animals deserve care and loving homes!!!
They should be locked up with no food or water & no toilet just like they did to their dog. Those people are the true animals. Actually they are not animals, they are the worms of the earth because animals care & are loving whereas these people should not even be living near anything that breathes.
This happened in Kentucky which has pathetic laws for the protection of animals. They’ll get a slap on the wrist. They SHOULD be made to pay for food, fines and medical care But the most important, they should Never allowed to have or be near Any other helpless animal. Never again. This abuse and torture.
FIND THOSE MONSTERS OF OWNERS AND LOCK THEM UP TOO. LEAVE THEM ALONE IN THAT APPARTMENT AND WALK AWAY AND FORGET THM.
They need tobe punished and not be able to have any other animals EVER!!
After a while this is going to catch up with these people; they will be disgusted with themselves every time they look in the mirror. Karma. It’s out there.
Yvette Rogers and Ronnie Goodwin are POS SCUMBAGS that need to go to prison. DO NOT allow these SCUMBAGS near another animal AGAIN!
There is never an excuse for treating a pet this way. Thank goodness this sweet angel was rescued.
Yvette Rogers and Ronnie Goodwin should receive the death penalty!!!
Stop the terrorism/genocide on Ukraine.
Ban all cat meat trade.
fucking motherfucking douche bag animal abusers they both should be shot
What’s with the “allegedly” rubbish???? They DID abuse this poor little dog and they DID lock him/her in a cupboard so just punish these lowlifes appropriately. Hopefully, someone will get them in a dark alley because we all know that whatever “punishment” the Courts hand them it will be laughable…..
These heartless sub-human scumbag people should be locked in a closet with no food or water and see how they like it. This is inexcusable and unacceptable. Punish these people SEVERELY for the pain, suffering and TRAUMA they caused this poor helpless dog.
LOCKUP THESE MOTHER FUCKERS IN A CLOSET AND ALLOW THEM TO SUFFER THE SAME PAIN THIS POOR POOCH HAD TO ENDURE. THESE BASTARDS DON’T DESERVE TO LIVE. I PRAY FOR THE SAFETY OF THIS POOCH AND HOPEFULLY WILL FIND A LOVING HOME AND FAMILY.
