Dog Apparently Punched and Kicked on Video Deserves Justice

Target: Todd Spitzer, District Attorney of Orange County, CA

Goal: Seek full penalty against man accused of assaulting pet dog if he is found guilty.

A dog named Steeler suffered serious trauma when he was allegedly assaulted by the person who should have been protecting and caring for him. The dog became the subject of a viral video reportedly showing Steeler being repeatedly punched and kicked in a hallway. A video doorbell captured the apparent act of cruelty.

Suspect Albert Abad, Steeler’s caretaker, surrendered the dog and then surrendered himself to police. Steeler has since been examined and treated by veterinary professionals. In response to Abad’s detention, the local district attorney released the following statement: “as a result of excellent police work, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office will prosecute this abuser to the fullest extent of the law, and we will send a strong message that the abuse of animals will not be tolerated.”

Sign the petition below to hold the DA to this vow.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear DA Spitzer,

When a man was captured on a video doorbell allegedly beating his pet dog, public outrage helped raise awareness and lead to an eventual arrest. At the time of Albert Abad’s surrender to authorities, you pledged that he would be prosecuted to the fullest extent. You also stressed that animal cruelty will not be tolerated within your jurisdiction.

Please stay vigilant in this case, honor your promises, and send a decisive message about the ongoing threat of animal abuse in America.

Sincerely.

[Your Name Here]

  1. DEATH PENALTY for ALL animal-torturers and animal-abusers. No animal shall be punched, starved, neglected and sadistically abused by dehumanized and desensitized psychopathic scum. ALL animal-abusing sadists must be EUTHANIZED to set an example. DEATH PENALTY is the only adequate punishment for this hellish scumbag! He must be forbidden from coming near animals ever again!

      MY CENTIMENTS EXACTLY!!!

      • Sharon Hopkins says:

        You mean Sentiments but I agree completely. Dogs are trusting animals and Steeler was betrayed by the very person he trusted. I hope this poor dog will eventually have a loving and secure home. He certainly deserves it after what he’s been through.

    • These soulless conscienceless beings ALL NEED THE DEATH PENALTY for EVER BEING EVEN NEAR any defenseless, trusting vulnerable,precious animal!!!!!

    • Agree with you, it seems that these evil incarnate never learn and it repeats over and over. DISGUSTING!!!

    • 100% agree

    • I am no doubt now too old for sneaking up behind bastards like this tosser but would need a couple of guys to hold him down for me to show him the error of his ways!
      I guarantee the asswipe would never do anything like this again!

      These shitbags need teaching a severe lesson that they would never forget for the rest of their miserable lives. Better still to be terminated full stop!
      It is very easy to say ‘ take the bastard out’ torture them to death etc, etc, but would really need to have a belly full of fire to do this as I think it would be hard for a ‘normal’ person to actually ‘ kill’ someone no matter what the bastard had done.
      Although knowing what the fuckers had done to innocent trusting animals, I don’t think it would bother me too much as there would be one less animal torturing abusing bastard on our planet!
      Power to any Vigilante groups who have the strength to take these waste of space fuckers out – permanently!!

    MAY HE ROT IN HELL!!!

    • Patricia Lamonica says:

      HE ALREADY IS IN HELL THE DEVIL OWNS HIS SOLE!!! LOVE YOUR WHOLE COMMENT!!!

      • I really don’t want to throw shade on your no doubt sincerely held beliefs about divine retribution etc. but I would prefer a punishment for this individual that’s rather more demonstrable, not to say exemplary.

  3. Teresa Zamalloa says:

    Down with those sadistic cowards ill-born bastards who deserve nothing but the death penalty!
    That’ll be the only way to free the world from those monsters!

    • Teresa Zamalloa. I definately agree with your comment.

      “Down with those sadistic psychopathic cowards ill-born bastards who deserve nothing but the death penalty!
      That’ll be the only way to free the world from those monsters!”

      All the vile and evil psychopathic monsters who deliberately and heinously torture and murder precious and innocent Dogs and all precious animals, sentient beings must be brought to Justice and sentenced to
      death.

      Eradication from our Planet is a must. Torture and an agonising Death must be committed against these lowlife vile and evil psycho monsters on our Planet.
      Good riddance to the filth on our Planet. Burn in hell where you lowlife pos deserve.

  4. There is no reason or excuse for this!

    Dear District Attorney Spitzer:
    … ‘the Orange County District Attorney’s Office will prosecute this abuser to the fullest extent of the law”.

    — may I know what ‘THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW IS?’

    Thank you!

  6. Do ASSAULT this CRUEL AND ABUSIVE IDIOT UNTIL HE DIES A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH!!!!

  7. Todd – ‘Steeler’ is counting on you to deliver some justice to this POS Albert Abad, so please keep your promise to prosecute this uneducated asshole to the fullest extent allowed under California law. We need more prosecutors like you in the courtroom who are willing to protect the Animal Kingdom from those who choose to abuse and murder them.

  8. Joseph Kenosky says:

    The person that did this must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

  9. Disgusting, someone gets that angry at that sweet dog. I’m glad he will be punished and they Must find the right owners for the poor pup.

  10. Animal abuse should not be tolerated at all !
    Anyone abusing an animal should automatically be given prison time! Animals are helpless to protect themselves, so anyone who harms them are cowards !!!!!

  11. No excuse for ever hurting an animal . This “ man “ needs punished to the fullest extent of the law , and banned from ever owning another animal

  12. I agree with all responses above. No one should beat a dog or any other animal. This creep needs to be jailed for life

  18. Shirley Lemieux says:

    I praise the Orange County District Attorney’s Office for their statement that they will prosecute this abuser to the fullest extent of the law, and we will send a strong message that the abuse of animals will not be tolerated.
