Target: Salem Chief of Police Lucas Millerm
Goal: Find and arrest person responsible for terrible abuse of four abandoned dogs.
Four dogs found wandering the streets were so malnourished and dehydrated that their spine and ribs were showing. Their snouts had wounds from being bound shut, they had head wounds, and appeared to have recently given birth.
All four dogs were pit bulls and authorities suspect that they were a part of a puppy mill operation.
“They’re all friendly. They have an odor of maybe being in a dirt cellar or in a barn,” said Salem Animal Control Officer Don Famico.
When asked why these four dogs might have been abandoned, Officer Famico explained, “They keep the pups, sell off the pups, then get rid of the older dogs that are not longer of use to them.”
All four of the dogs are now receiving veterinary care, including regular intravenous fluids. While they are expected to recover, their abuser is currently walking the streets.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Chief Millerm,
Four pit bulls were found in appalling condition in your city. There were clear signs of abuse.
The dogs were found wandering the streets and were so malnourished and dehydrated that their spine and ribs were showing. Their snouts had wounds from being bound shut, they had head wounds, and appeared to have recently given birth.
All four dogs were pit bulls and authorities suspect that they were a part of a puppy mill operation.
“They’re all friendly. They have an odor of maybe being in a dirt cellar or in a barn,” said Salem Animal Control Officer Don Famico.
When asked why these four dogs might have been abandoned, Officer Famico explained, “They keep the pups, sell off the pups, then get rid of the older dogs that are not longer of use to them.”
All four of the dogs are now receiving veterinary care, including regular intravenous fluids.
It is all too often that law enforcement doesn’t devote the resources necessary to find and capture animal abusers. We are asking that you don’t let that happen in this case. These four innocent creatures deserve justice. Please devote all resources necessary to find and arrest the person, or persons, responsible for this abuse.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
