Elderly, Sick Dog Apparently Buried Alive Deserves Justice

Target: Kym Worthy, Prosecutor for Wayne County, MI

Goal: Prosecute perpetrators allegedly responsible for burying dog alive to fullest extent.

A concerned community member in Detroit was summoned by a disturbing and heartbreaking sound: the cries of a potentially wounded dog. When the good Samaritan rushed outside to track the source, they came upon an even more alarming sight: a dog’s nose protruding from the ground. The poor animal had apparently been buried alive. The good Samaritan quickly freed the dog from his seeming makeshift grave and contacted an animal rescue.

Individuals treating the dog, whom they named Ghost, described his condition as follows: “very cold, lethargic and not able to stand or walk on his own. He also had a large and deep possible pressure sore on one of his rear legs that was initially thought to be a gunshot wound.” Tragically, despite emergency interventions, Ghost eventually had to be euthanized. Veterinary professionals revealed he also appeared to suffer from chronic muscular and spinal conditions.

This pit bull-mix was ten years old and highly dependent on his caretakers. Police interviewed Ghost’s caretakers, who reportedly confirmed that he belonged to them and that he had been ill. Despite their alleged involvement in this horrifying case, these individuals–nor anyone else–have faced a single charge months later.

The Wayne County Prosecutor’s office has been apprised of this incident from the beginning but for some reason will not take the necessary action. Sign the petition below to demand these legal professionals do their job.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Prosecutor Worthy,

During the fall, a case was brought to your attention involving potentially horrific animal cruelty. The dog at the center of the case, Ghost, was allegedly buried alive and left to die. If not for a good Samaritan who heard his cries and intervened, this defenseless animal would have likely experienced an agonizing death where he suffocated or starved to death alone and in complete darkness.

Ghost’s owners were reportedly interviewed and seemingly acknowledged some involvement, and then…nothing. Why has the prosecutor’s office sat on this case for months with no apparent action? If this poor deceased ten-year-old dog’s circumstances do not qualify as animal cruelty, then what exactly does?

Animal cruelty is a well-known gateway into violent crimes against humans. Ignore the issue at your own peril or, as your oath of duty demands, seek justice now.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

    • Agree 100%. These animals are entrusted to our care and protection. Time to prosecute the law enforcement people who won’t do their job, as well as the perpetrators.

    • Joanne Bradley says:

      Well said, nobody is above the law, punish these evil monsters for intentionally killing their dog by burying it alive. What a horrific slow death, the poor dog must have suffered for a while before some caring person tried to help. No excuse for abusing animals and these scumbags must pay the price. Ban them from owning animals for life, hope karma catches up with them soon …

    • 100% agree.
      Need to get off of their arses and do the job what they are no doubt ‘over’ paid to do.
      Wake up and do your bloody jobs instead of hiding behind your desks!!!

      Jail
      No contact with animals for life

  13. THIS IS WHAT WAYNE COUNTRY’S OFFICIALS ARE IN OFFICE FOR??? DISGUSTING AND UNFORGIVABLE betrayal of the defenseless!!!!
