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]

Address, anyone? This evil piece of shit needs to have a come-to-Jesus meeting with a Karma bat! My God, why hasn’t someone taken this bastard out? He doesn’t deserve to be using good air! He’s supposed to appear before Judge Shannon H. McFee – let’s see if she’s another one of the plea-bargain-down-to-nothing judges or if she’ll really do something about this SOB!
I totally agree. Florida is one of the weakest states on animal rights. This POS needs to be strung up. That is what we do in my area.
I’ll join you!! We need to give this POS the punishment he deserves…without waiting for the law to do their job.
I totally agree with you.
This is what has to happen to these animal torturing bastards no messing!!

Michael Dwayn Mings is a sack of fucking shit and deserves to be raped, beaten and starved. I hope someone gets to him.
Michael Dwayn Mings is clearly an animal ABUSER! What more evidence is needed than the picture of this starved, abused defenseless baby. What is wrong with this world, letting these MONSTERS clearly torture and abuse these animals day in and day out! I am so sick of these psychopaths getting a slap on the hand for these horrendous crimes. When are these law makers and people that have the power to put these MONSTERS away, going to step up and do it! Then on top of this waste of breath MONSTER, someone needs to explain why Roxy was not given a chance at life! Why was she just euthanized after being tortured to years. Why? That is disgusting. She deserved a chance to receive love and care!!
State Attorney Fox, save your state some $$$$ and achieve real justice for innocent Roxxy. Starve the worthless scum Michael Dwayn Mings. Thank you.
There is no punishment severe enough for this POS! Chain him to a dog house in the freezing cold and STARVE HIM UNTIL HE DIES!
What a monster! Michael Dwayn Mings needs to be executed!!
Unacceptable treatment to an animal! Make sure this poor excuse for a human is held accountable! 🤬 This poor pup was tortured and deserves justice!
Starvation doesn’t happen overnight so this freak literally tortured the dog to near death resulting in actual death. You have to be a depraved sociopath to do this making him a danger to society, both people and animals. Jail time, fines and a lifetime ban on being near any animal would be a good place to start; anything less and it’ll be obvious that Florida enables animal abuse.
Please prosecute the owner . . .
Rotten s.o.b. deserves to be meted out the same treatment. At the minimum never to see the his way out of prison.
Michael Mings needs to be put to death for what he did to this sweet elderly dog! Michael’s parents must be so ashamed of him…..unless they are just like him!
I have never seen a dog still alive in this condition. I hope that a picture of this elderly dog in this condition is in the Court room when a Judge sentences Michael Dwayn Mings. Starving an animal to death is a slow and painful death. The American Justice system is too kind to people like Michael Dwayn Mings who deserves exactly what he did to his elderly dog.
Looks like Gulf Coast Humane Society is located in Fort Myers, Fl. Certainly someone can find the address of Michael Dwayn Mings
In the Ft. Myers area.
He needs to get civil justice! I am to old and decrepit or I would give him his just desserts!
At the least….do to him as he did to the dog! 😬
Forget jail time, why would he sit in a cell and be fed. Wtf!!!
Shoot him!
He obviously did not care for Roxy why should we care for that evil human.
Rest In piece Roxy, no more suffering Lil one 😞
True, no one would miss this non caring torturing piece of shit and it will not be long before animal activist ‘ lynch mobs’ are formed to deal with these bastards and eradicate them for the good of the world.
These arrogant aswipes have got to be dealt with publicly as the useless judicial system will do nothing as it is only an animal.
These pricks are just as bad as the perps. They will not act so we, the normal people will have to deal with these bastards and stop them permanently!
J.W.
Euthanize Michael Dwayn Mings immediately and in the most inhumane way imaginable.
This disgusting piece of excrement deserves the same treatment as he inflicted on the poor innocent dog! See how he likes being starved to death!! What a sickening devil he is.
Absolutely horrifying! This perp needs to be punished by his community in every way possible!
Extremely sad and so uncalled for!!! Sick bastard should rot in prison, pick up trash like the scum he is and never ever be allowed to own animals!!! Poor poor Roxy!! I wish she could have been saved and given some love and happiness!!!
Do the same thing to the people that did this. Lock them in a cage with no food and let them starve.
Death penalty for bastard abuser,SOB!
Justice for Roxy! RIP
