Dog Who Reportedly Cried for Help During Brutal Beating Deserves Justice

Target: Anthony Gulluni, District Attorney of Hampden County, MA

Goal: Prosecute man accused of neglecting and abusing pet dog to fullest extent.

Massachusetts police recently responded to disturbing reports from a condominium. Witnesses heard the apparent sounds of a dog being struck and whimpering in pain. When authorities arrived, they reported finding Sophie, a mixed pit bull, in dire condition. Severe malnutrition, anemia, diarrhea, patchy fur, and fractures were reported after a veterinary examination.

The director of a local animal shelter where Sophie is receiving care said, “it was heartbreaking to see Sophie’s condition when she first came to us. We’ve been able to nurse her back to health, physically, but there are still some behavioral challenges that we’re working through.” Sophie may soon find her forever home with the aid of MSPCA-Angell’s adoption program. Her alleged abuser, on the other hand, is facing felony animal cruelty charges.

Sign the petition below to help ensure he pays the maximum price if he is found guilty.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear DA Gulluni,

Accused animal abuser Carl Moglika, Jr. is charged with two counts of felony cruelty for his alleged physical abuse and neglect of his dog Sophie. If not for the intervention of concerned neighbors who claimed to hear Sophie’s cries, this defenseless dog may have met a far worse fate. The organization now caring for her reports ongoing behavioral issues, potentially a lingering scar from her previous experiences. These may impact her adoptability.

If Mr. Moglika did treat a living being under his care with such horrific disregard, he needs to be held fully accountable. Please do not accept a slap-on-the-wrist plea bargain and maintain the pursuit of a maximum sentence if his guilt is validated.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
