Abandoned and Abused Dog Muzzled With Wire and Sick With Cancer Deserves Justice

Target: Michelle Woodfork, Superintendent of Police, New Orleans
Goal: Find person responsible for abusing and abandoning dog with cancer.

A sweet dog named Macy was found roaming the streets with her muzzle locked shut with a wire. Macy was emaciated from a lack of food and also was discovered to have multiple forms of cancer. Macy's owner is unknown at this time, but they allowed her to live in this horrific condition and then abandoned her.

Macy is estimated to be about 5 years old. When good Samaritans found her, she was wandering the streets, unable to eat due to the wire tightly wrapped around her muzzle. The rescuers took Macy to Zeus' Rescues, where she has been receiving compassionate care.

“The wire was removed from around her face,” Zeus’ Rescues executive director Michelle Ingram said. “She was very thin. She had a tumor hanging off her back. She was scared, but not human-aggressive at all. Immediately, we gave her some treats and she cuddled right into us. Even though she'd been so horribly neglected and abused she still was OK with humans and wanted human love.”

Thanks to generous donors, Macy has had surgery to amputate her tail, clean the wounds on her face from the wire wrapped around her muzzle, remove the tumor on her back, and spay her. While Macy was being cared for, it was discovered that she also has breast cancer. As a result, multiple mammary tumors have been removed.

The person, or persons, responsible for Macy's horrific condition are still walking the streets.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Superintendent Woodfork,

Rescuers found a sweet and innocent dog named Macy roaming the streets with her muzzle locked shut with a wire. Macy was emaciated from a lack of food and also was discovered to have multiple forms of cancer. Macy's owner is unknown at this time, but whoever it was, allowed this innocent animal to live in a horrific condition and then abandoned her to die a painful death.

According to a rescuer named Michelle Ingram, “The wire [around Macy's muzzle] was removed from around her face. She was very thin. She had a tumor hanging off her back. She was scared, but not human-aggressive at all. Immediately, we gave her some treats and she cuddled right into us. Even though she'd been so horribly neglected and abused she still was OK with humans and wanted human love.”

Macy has now had surgery to amputate her tail, clean the wounds on her face from the wire wrapped around her muzzle, remove the tumor on her back, and spay her. While Macy was being cared for, it was discovered that she also has breast cancer. As a result, multiple mammary tumors have been removed.

The person, or persons, responsible for Macy's horrific condition are still walking the streets. We ask you to ensure that no other animals face this terrible form of abuse by finding and capturing whoever it is that's responsible for Macy's nightmarish condition.

Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
