Target: Mr. Keith Blackwood, District Attorney of Mobile County, Alabama, United States
Goal: Demand the maximum penalty for a man who allegedly drowned his dog at a beach.
At a beach in Dauphin Island, Alabama, witnesses reported that a man drowned his golden Labrador retriever in the surf. According to eyewitness statements provided to the police, the suspect submerged the dog underwater for approximately three minutes, claiming it had fleas. This appalling act of reported cruelty has shocked and appalled beachgoers and animal lovers alike.
Two witnesses who observed the apparently tragic event confronted the owner and immediately called 911 to report the incident. The Dauphin Island Police Department responded to the distress call, arresting Shawn Taulbee, a resident of Theodore, Alabama, on charges of first-degree cruelty to a dog, a felony offense.
The alleged drowning of a defenseless dog is an egregious violation of ethical principles and reflects a complete disregard for the welfare and dignity of animals. Such acts of extreme cruelty cannot be tolerated within any civilized society and must be met with swift and decisive action. Demand action now.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mr. Keith Blackwood,
We are writing to express our profound outrage and concern regarding a recent reported incident of animal cruelty that occurred at Dauphin Island, Alabama. The alleged drowning of a golden Labrador retriever by its owner at the beach has deeply disturbed us and demands swift and decisive action.
The intentional drowning of a defenseless dog, as alleged, is a severe violation of ethical principles and a gross abuse of an animal’s right to life. It is imperative that the suspect faces the full weight of the law and receives the maximum penalty if he is found guilty of this act of cruelty.
By prosecuting the suspect to the fullest extent of the law, you will send a clear message that acts of animal cruelty will not be tolerated within Mobile County or the state of Alabama. It is our collective responsibility to protect the welfare and rights of animals and to hold those who harm them accountable for their actions.
We respectfully urge you to prioritize this case and seek justice for the innocent dog who tragically lost its life. We believe that by taking decisive action, you will reinforce the values of compassion and respect for all living beings within our community.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

The owner knew what he was doing. Witness intervention would’ve been in order and the dog removed from this person’s care (who should not be allowed around animals going forward).
Why didn’t someone intervene?? They waited till the dog was dead then called 911? That’s pathetic and moronic. The dog needed help and no one did anything to save him! The owner is a pos loser who deserves the same treatment. RIP sweet dog. 😢
Good question – I was going to ask that myself. Unbelievable – 3 minutes is a long time to stand around and watch.
Right? I would have been bc all over that asshole
Me too 8n a hot second,what a pod the 9wner is!!!
Could Not Agree More!!! What is Wrong With People???. Stand There and Watch the Monster Drown the Dog, Really?!! Ridiculous! I am Sooo Sick of People Doing Nothing!!! Damn! Do Something!! So Sad 💔😭😭
Was thinking the same thing! I would have jumped on that dudes back and put his *SS under water! What is wrong w ppl!
Humans have increasingly become more useless than ever that’s why. Three minutes is 180 seconds for humans to watch and not act? In fear and struggling to breathe is far too long to suffer for that poor creature dying terrified, and drowning isn’t pleasant either. That nobody intervened shows human uselessness, and we meed to add bleach to the human gene pool, more in some states!!!
These tragic events happen many times daily worldwide and few take action. HUMANS ARE ALWAYS THE PROBLEM!!! Someone should have just drown Shawn Taulbee right then and there. One less useless stupid human!!!
I don’t understand why nobody helped this poor innocent dog. It just breaks my heart 💗.
This is so wrong!!!!! He needs to be punished as much as they can give him. That’s a sorry excuse!!!! If the dog had fleas there is medicine to prevent them. He really deserves to be held under water for what he did to that poor dog 😡
SHAWN TAULBEE IS A FUCKING PIECE OF SCUM-SUCKING SHIT WHO SHOULD SUFFER THE SAME WAY AS THAT POOR DOG!!!!! THIS MOTHERFUCKER IS NOT SORRY; HIS MUGSHOT SAYS IT ALL. HE SHOULD BE MADE LIFELESS BECAUSE HE’S A POX ON HUMANITY. HE DESERVES NO OXYGEN SUPPLY WHATSOEVER. HANG HIM.
Took the words right out of our mouth..
Well said
You can find him on Facebook,he owns his own business,his phone number is on one of his photos.. blast him so his customers know what he’s capable of doing to their animal or family member..
good idea..
This vile, mentally deranged dog killing scumbag definitely requires instigation of the death penalty and nothing less. A slow and agonizing extermination for this evil cretin is essential!!
Loser drowning a helpless dog because he didn’t want to get the proper flea medication? Murderers start by killing animals then they move onto humans.I wish he could get the death penalty…..please do your job protecting the voiceless ( animals)!!!
Death penalty for bastard killer,SOB,coward!
Justice for the dog!. R.i.P.
Euthanize this piece of trash immediately.
THIS POOR INNOCENT PUP DESERVES JUSTICE FOR ITS CRUEL TORTURE AND ULTIMATE DEATH!!’ THIS MONSTER NEEDS TO BE PROSECUTED AND LOCKED UP FOR MURDER TO AN INNOCENT ANIMAL WHO COULD NOT DEFEND ITSELF!!! THIS MURDERER MONSTER NEEDS TO BE LOCKED UP AND KEPT AWAY FROM ALL ANIMALS!!!!
So so so sad!!! That poor dog!!
Please please please throw the book at this loser!! Never allow this sicko to own any animals!! Thanks
I would have intervened no matter the consequences!!!!
Drown that bastard until he dies
When is the judicial system going to change the pitiful laws they have in place to protect our animals? Sick of these people getting a slap on the hand!
The trouble is there is no “book”.The punishment for animal cruelty never fits the crime
OMG this poor dog! Why didn’t the people watching this happen at least try to stop him. I’m so sick of seeing these meaningless punishments like community service, probation. Some idiotic judge will give him a second chance but the poor dog is still dead and will get no second chance. No punishment will ever be enough!
EXACTLY! Why wait till the dog was dead. Unfortunately until we the people stand up for the animals and get people elected that will get the job done, this will continue to happen !!! Sad!
I have to agree with someone else’s comment in that why didn’t anyone intervene? This dog was over powered in strength by his/her owner and was forcibly submerged into water and intentionally kill the dog. This felony animal cruelty charge should not be lessened in any way.
Keith – please do the job you were hired to do and put this uneducated POS Shawn Taulbee behind bars!!! For Christ’s sake, if this incident doesn’t qualify as extreme animal cruelty, then what does? Get him off the street!!!!!
If I would have been there at that beach at that time, I would have jumped on that monster’s back or head- anything- to save that dog. When people see one person act, more are likely to jump in and help. So sad. Poor dog.
SHAWN TAULBEE IS A FUCKING PIECE OF SCUM-SUCKING SHIT WHO SHOULD SUFFER THE SAME WAY AS THAT POOR DOG!!!!! THIS MOTHERFUCKER IS NOT SORRY; HIS MUGSHOT SAYS IT ALL. HE SHOULD BE MADE LIFELESS BECAUSE HE’S A POX ON HUMANITY. HE DESERVES NO OXYGEN SUPPLY WHATSOEVER. HANG HIM.Make sure this vile nd evil psycho monster bastards dies in agony.
Yes
This man deserves the maximum sentence (if they even have one) to get justice for this innocent dog . He needs jail time .
This is absolutely unacceptable. Please don’t just let him pay a small fine and forget this . This man is a threat to the public and dogs . The suffering this poor dog did is unimaginable.
Agree all comments drown this cunt.
