Elderly Dog Apparently Starved to Death Deserves Justice

Target: Twentieth Judicial Circuit State Attorney of Florida, Amira D. Fox

Goal: Give man maximum sentence in prison for allegedly starving his dog for a lengthy amount of time.

Reports claim that a pit bull mix named Roxy was euthanized because the animal was so severely emaciated that this was the only humane option. Michael Dwayn Mings was arrested and may be charged with both animal cruelty and torture if it is found he is responsible for the animal’s state. He needs to be given the harshest prison sentence possible and no longer be allowed to be around animals if he is found guilty of starving this innocent dog.

Authorities stated that Roxy weighed only 13.6 pounds when discovered. According to the Gulf Coast Humane Society, a normal weight for a pit bull mix is between 65 and 70 pounds. Roxy was said to be 15 years old at the time of death. According to experts, these types of dogs can reach 16 years of age and sometimes even older. Roxy was likely forced to deal with symptoms of malnutrition for years before being found by authorities since it takes time before a dog becomes this thin.

Sign this petition to demand Mings receive the prison sentence he deserves for reportedly torturing and starving this helpless creature.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear State Attorney Fox,

Michael Dwayn Mings was recently arrested and accused of starving his 15-year-old pit bull mix named Roxy. Roxy was said to weigh a little over 13.5 pounds when found. This dog was reportedly grossly underweight, as it is estimated that a healthy weight for a dog of this breed is between 65 and 70 pounds.

Pit bull mixes can live up to 16 years old and even longer if they are provided with the appropriate care. It is likely the dog would have lived longer than other dogs of the same breed if the animal had not allegedly been starved, since Roxy was able to survive for so long while reportedly enduring neglectful and abusive treatment. The dog also most likely suffered immensely since it takes a long period of time for an animal to reach such a weak state.

For these reasons, I demand you suggest Mings be given the longest prison sentence that is allowed for these crimes and that you further insist he no longer be legally able to own pets if it is found this dog died because of such inexcusable actions.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

  1. My God. This picture cut me. May God rest her sweet soul… starve this bastard to death. There is NO other acceptable way to deal with scum like this.

    • ABSOLUTELY

    • Agree, an eye for an eye!! Sick MF

    • Patricia Lamonica says:

      MY CENTIMENTS EXACTLY EXACUTE THIS LESS THAN HUMAN BEING SICK PHYCOPATH THIS IS THE ONLY WAY ANIMAL ABUSE AND CHILD ABUSE WILL STOP AND OR END!!!

    • Tonia Mansfield says:

      Please prosecute this man to the fullest. He starved her to death. Being a senior doggie she deserved to be treated with love and respect. Please set an example that this will not be tolerated. Please give her justice. He could have dropped her to a shelter or humane society if he no longer wanted or could care for her. She could have had a chance with a someone who have treated her well till her last day.

  2. Yes,I hope they starve his ass. Hope he gets the max. No animal for him. Rip.Roxy. No animal deserves this.

  3. Put this POS in prison and let it watch everyone else eat while it (no human pronouns deserved) watches and starves. It serves no purpose in society if it won’t take care of those depending on it. Hope it rots in prison where it belongs.

  4. My God. This is unconscionable, this guy is nothing short of a sociopath. How somebody could see this day in and day out and not care is the ultimate in cruelty. This dirtbag needs to be taken out of society. I hope somebody knows who this guy is, or finds him in deals with him appropriately. The criminal justice system is a joke when it comes to animal cruelty, the courts will do nothing per usual.

    • Here you go. Michael Mings is his name and there’s a pic of him in this clip. Number one even though a neighbor reported the dog to Animal Control they also say they think that the dog was loved but was sick and they were waiting for a miracle to happen hoping she would come back. BUT she had not seen a Vet in 6 to 7 years. You can’t hope a dog comes back to health if you are not willing to pay for a Vet to find out what the problem is. There are sicknesses animals and ppl can get where they do become like this even if eating. BUT still he did nothing to help find out what was wrong with her so she could be helped. Very sad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni0wUYgHKcE

  5. This sicko should get all he deserves poor dog

  6. What the HELL!!!! What is wrong with the dumb asses in Florida? If they aren’t trolling for kids, they are abusing animals. This POS should endure the same fate as poor little Roxy. Why, How, could ANYONE make a poor 15 year old animal suffer this way? What Judge will let the POS off with just a slap on the wrist? Any Judge who let’s this pass, should be removed and charged with accessory to the crime. We as a so-called civilized society, MUST protect the voiceless in every way possible.

  7. Monstrous monstrous evil, heartbreaking and horrific, karma is theirs – I feel you, poor lost innocent souls; their blood on your souls

    The abuse, torture & murder of the innocents

    Some heartbreaks can never be unseen, some horrors never unheard – PLEASE GOD

    And the universe weeps tears of blood

    Your life as theirs, as their death

  8. Diane Ocepek says:

    Whoever did this needs to be locked up and starved!! How evil!!

  9. Oh my God!! How Horrible!!! Beat this ugly, subhuman up, eat in front of him while starving him!!! Kick him if he asks for food. Do this until he’s 13 pounds.

  10. Nasty evil POS, that picture is heartbreaking. The pain and terror that poor Roxy must have gone thru 😩 hopefully the prison wardens forget to feed him every day he’s in there.

  11. Laura Martin says:

    Disgusting, absolutely no need for this

  12. josie olive says:

    This savage needs to have acid poured down his throat

  13. Only monsters and demons do such heinous acts against animals.

  14. Should people like this be allowed to parent children?

  15. Another reason to hate humans. Some people need a good, swift kick

  16. Michael Dwayn Mings Is a monster. The laws are not sufficient for this POS to get what he truly deserves. My only hope is that he lands in jail and his fellow inmates are animal lovers….perhaps then that sweet furbaby that endured living hell will get some justice.

  17. My heart breaks for Roxy – prison is too god for the monster that did this – tie him up and let him starve to death

  18. This is jot the way we want to treat a life long friend. Roxy was probably a member of the family until she was getting old, kids left the house, or what every other excuse this man could find but to starve a friend h(is dog Roxy?)is evil. He should be charged with starvation and also torture. It hurts to starve. This man should try it himself! The pain he caused this poor dog is without any reason or excuse. This is a failure of a man and a problem for society. He has no compassion and has no capacity for love. What a poor excuse for a human.

    • This prick is not A MAN, He is a animal torturing bastard who has to be taken out if society.
      I doubt that the Justice system will come good and this piece of shit will just laugh at them!
      Enough is enough. Every day there is some demented bastard torturing and abusing innocent animals— just because they can and get away with it!
      Is there an address where this tosser lives?
      Is has got to happen. We can all leave our thoughts and feelings of what MUST be done to these asswipes but it is not so easy to carry out.
      We can’t just go out and ‘kill’ someone, but with planning and patience it can be accomplished. And are only sub-human excrement anyway!
      I mean, these bastard animal killers and torturers are coming up every day!!
      So they have GOT to be stopped for the good if the world.
      The useless Law is not going to deal with them so we must..
      The bible says and eye for an eye’ in other words, if these bastards are known to have abused or torturously killed an animal, then they need to be ‘killed back’.
      These arseholes are ‘non’ caring turds who must learn a severe lesson permanently!
      I mentioned some time ago, could some rich animal activist put up a bounty on the heads of these pricks.
      I am sure this would work fine and there would be one less of these arrogant nasty sods on our planet.
      J,W.

  19. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY???

    WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE ANIMALS AND DO STUFF LIKE THIS???
    IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE ANIMAL ANY LONGER THEN GIVE IT AWAY TO A GOOD HOME..
    THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS WHATSOEVER…

    THAT PICTURE WAS A KILLER TO LOOK AT..
    STILL CRYING NOW………..
    ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC.
    JUST SHOOT THE BASTARD OWNER IMMEDIATELY
