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]

The people who subjected this dog to this needs to be put to death.
Yeah let scum like this starve to death. Poor soul .unbelievable anyone could do this.
How could this scum be so cruel to an innocent harmless dog he owns? The poor dog was subject to years of starvation and abuse and he deserves JUSTICE! Please do not let this monster go scots-free. He must be severely punished for his wicked actions and iplease impose permanent ban on him from going near another animal or own one ever again!
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.
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 sub-humans 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.

Well said!! I totally agree! This poor dog 🙁 😠 😡 😔
This is disgusting that poor dog but what upsets me even more that dog survived all that time just for authorities to pts when just needed time to get better again in a loving home with small meals regularly so I am just as angry at the authorities for doing this. I am an animal rescue and like many we find are also nearly starved to death but with intensive care they become healthy dogs again. Shame on the authorities for giving up on this poor dog!!
To them it is just another animal in the way, so this time these waste of space tossers are the ones who need a very severe ‘head kicking’.
These pricks are just as bad as the bloody perps and need to understand that they are just as much at fault, as I am sure this dog could have been nursed back to heath with some ‘T.L.C.
I wonder if these pricks would have done the same had it been their dog— or child???
This is cruel.
I agree with June. It could have been given the chance to slowly recover instead I’d being pushed. I haven’t enough words to describe how I feel about the abuser

Michael Dwayn Mings deserves the maximum sentence in prison if he is convicted of starving his elderly dog over an extended amount of time. No excuses.

THIS EVIL MONSTER DESERVES PRISON FOR MURDER OF AN INNOCENT AND HELPLESS DOG!!
PRISON IS THE ONLY PLACE TO KEEP THIS MONSTER AWAY FROM ANIMALS!!!
The guy who did this to his dog is a complete disgrace! So irresponsible, careless, heartless, and worthless. I hope he os prosecuted to the fullest degree and never allowed another pet as long as he lives!
THE BASTARD NEEDS TO BE EUTHANIZED!!!!
