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]

I started to sob when I saw this heartbreaking picture of this poor dog. How could someone neglect and starve an innocent animal like this? Michael Mings is a low-down, snake. He needs to be severely punished and banned from being around animals. RIP Roxy and I hope you get justice.
I agree. This man needs a very long prison term and to never be allowed to have animals again. Very, very sad and heartbreaking. Rest in Peace Roxy and may you get the justice you deserve.
The bastard needs to be DEAD, that’s what this arrogant tosser needs!!!!
Animal ‘Vigilante’ justice so that other animal abusing and torturing shitbags will start to get the message as to what is going to happen to them when hunted down!
I bet that animal torture would seriously decrease as these are cowardly fuckers who would ‘crap’ themselves if confronted by a hyped up activist mob.
If left alive I could suggest having the perps face stamped on until it would be impossible for him ( or her) to eat or drink anything.
Many different variations of what could be done to these buggers so that if they were still living, they would never dare to torture any animal ever again!!

What kind of monster could allow this to happen to this poor elderly dog. I can’t even imagine the pain Roxy went through while she was being starved to death. Please make sure Michael Ming gets the punishment he deserves but no punishment will ever be enough. A just punishment would be to let him starve to death!
I agree with you 100%…how could someone do this to an innocent animal, make sure this POS that did this suffers!!
The monsters that starved that poor dog should recieve the same treatment!
Animals shall not be VICTIMS of DEHUMANIZED and DESENSITIZED SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS! Tormenting, starving and neglecting animals is a CRIME.
This lowlife scum needs to be given the harshest prison sentence possible and no longer be allowed to be around animals.
STARVE this MONSTER to DEATH! The only treatment he deserves.
Again, another male. Unbelievable! Is this all you males do is abuse, murder, rape the vulnerable populations??? He needs starved to death with no water please. Same painful death as his dog. Good riddance trash
So you’re oblivious to the story of a WOMAN who beat a husky with a rubber mallet causing a fractured skull and blindness??
Check out animalvictory.org
Women do horrific things too.
I do agree that this piece of shit s/b starved to death to experience the pain he put this poor senior dog through.
Not defending this poster and yes, I am familiar with the fat, dispicable c**t that beat the precious defenseless husky blind. Far too many females have committed horrific abuse to animals. And humans. Statisticly males are responsible for more cruelty, death, destruction from abuse, crimes, wars…even things such as driving foolishly for thrills and injuring/killing others. It IS the testosterone, much of it toxic AND the way young males are raised–to be rough and tumble, no sissies, etc.
She needs starved to death too with no water. But hey, overall, dudes are responsible for most of the crimes on this planet. They make ignorant decisions. Look at all the idiot male world leaders now! I rest my case.
To Alan P.
YesI have seen this bastard fat arrogant lard bucket captured on secret video hammering this dog whilst it was restrained, and am still awaiting to see what has happened to this fat piece of shite!
This nasty animal torturing cunt needs removing from the world and if I was not thousands of miles away I sure would be first in line to make this happen!
This fat, nasty sod needs terminating and I would really like to dish out what she put this innocent dog through. This is one animal torturing bastard who really needs to be DEAD!

This is so heartbreaking i cried for this poor dog . How can any one just watch this poor soul slowly starve to death is beyond me. What ever this sadist gets for punishment will never be as bad as what this innocent dog has gone through,the punishment is never harsh enough
Michael Dwayn Mings is a POS SCUMBAG LOSER that needs to be put behind bars NOW! This SCUMBAG POS does nothing for society but torture animals. Next SCUMBAG POS Michael Dwayn Mings will do this to a human being.
Animals lives SHOULD be SAVED
Oh my goodness! This is heartbreaking. This precious senior girl didn’t deserve to be neglected to the point where she was starving. Her so called owner needs to be punished to the fullest no exception. You can see the tears dried up on her face. How could anyone watch their dog starve to death.
This account and photo made me heartsick and physically sick. This precious baby did nothing to deserve this horrific abuse. I pray justice is served, but tragically I doubt much will be done. WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS TOSS THIS MICREANT INBRED IN A CELL AND STARVE HIM!!! EYE FOR AN EYE. WHAT ALSO NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS HE BE MADE A “WIFE” FOR THE LESSER OF THE CRIMINALS AND HE NEEDS A FEW *WELL PLACED* KICKS IN SOME *STRATEGIC AREAS* DAILY, FOR GOOD MEASURE. LET HIM ROT TO DEATH— USELESS POS. BREATHING OUR PRECIOUS O2 AND TAKING UP PRECIOUS SPACE (PROBABLY WELFARE SCUM). BURN IN HELL. ID HAPPILY TORTURE THIS CRETIN TO DEATH AND SLEEP BETTER FOR IT.
So heartbreaking!!! The pos who starved this innocent animal should be starved to death- rid the earth of shit like him!’ Animal abusers don’t deserve jail (free rent and good food) – they should be tortured for harming the life of another living being.
IF THIS MAN DOESN’T GET PRISON TIME, SHAME ON WHO’S RESPONSIBLE !!! THIS MAKES ME LIVID !!!
A PERSON WHO CAN DO THIS TO AN INNOCENT PET DOESN’T EVEN DESERVE TO LIVE !!! SICK AND TIRED OF ANIMALS SUFFERING BY HEARTLESS HUMANS! PUT HIM IN PRISON WITH NO FOOD AND THROW AWAY THE KEY, HE DESERVES NO BETTER !!!
The bastard does not want ‘prison’ time. What the piece of shit seriously needs is 6 feet under the ground time!
This prick sure would not be torturing or starving any animal ever again!!
J.W.
Give this POS evil monster the death penalty, he deserves nothing less for what he did to his poor beautiful dog 😢 I cried for this beautiful soul who did nothing to deserve such a horrific life. Start handing out punishments that such vial abusers deserve. An eye for an eye, give those evil POSs the same punishment, they torture and murder these poor sweet babies, do the same to them. Please give that poor innocent girl justice, we are those abused babies voice. Do the right thing, don’t let the abusive monsters get away with it.
Horribly gut wrenching bringing me to tears. This poor innocent baby suffered horribly for years. I just don’t understand the mentality of people. Anyone who mistreats animals or does such acts as this are evil inhuman monsters. The man responsible for this treatment deserves punishment to the full extent, lock him up starve him let him beg for good & water as this poor dog did to the only person she knew & trusted.
WHAT A DISGUSTING EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN, MORE LIKE ROTTON HUMAN GARBAGE MAY YOU ROT IN THE HOTTEST PART OF HELL FOR WHAT YOU DONE TO ROXY, POS. RIP SWEET ROXY RUN FREE
WHAT THE ABSOLUTE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE GARBAGE-ASS MOTHERFUCKERS WHO GET ANIMALS AND DON’T TAKE CARE OF THEM?!?!?!?! NEUTER THIS WORTHLESS OXYGEN-THIEVING CUNT WITH A RUSTY STEAK KNIFE, KICK HIS ASS DOWN A DARK BASEMENT, AND PUT HIM ON A PERMANENT FAST.
This poor dog needs justice. As a cat mom, I have no tolerance for such cruelty.
How disgusting this poor dog. Hope these monsters are locked away for good.
CAGE ALL THESE EVIL PUTRID EXCUSES FOR HUMAN BEINGS,,, NAKED IN PUBLIC,, WITH SIGNS & VIDOES NEXT TO THEM SHOWING WHAT THEY DO TO ANIMALS,,, oh YEH & ANOTHER SIGN SAYING,,, DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO PUNISH, TORTURE, AS THEY STARVE TO DEATH. EVIL FUCKING TRASH DESERVE THE MOST PAIN YOU CAN POSSIBLY DISH OUT! WHEN THE FUCK ARE JUDGES GOING TO TAKE THIS SHIT SERIOUSLY?????
The sentence I would impose on this POS would be DEATH by STARVATION with NO chance of recovery!! I don’t care who you are, if you are cruel, abusive, or neglectful to an animal, young child, or elderly person, you should be dealt with swiftly and harshly!! This scumbag will continue to treat those that are the most vulnerable in society like their lives don’t matter unless he’s made to feel the same pain and suffering he inflicted on his poor dog!! Prosecutors and judges need to stop being soft on crimes against animals and enforce animal cruelty laws!! This is sickening and is a reflection of the society in which we live where prosecutors and judges dole out a slap on the wrist to criminals…😡
