Target: Scott Rueter, Macon County State’s Attorney
Goal: Ensure legal accountability for the alleged animal cruelty leading to the death and suffering of pit bulls in Decatur.
A recent incident in Decatur has sent shockwaves of distress among animal lovers. Allegedly, two pit bull puppies died and a third adult dog suffered due to severe neglect and abuse. This harrowing scenario unfolded on East Whitmer Street, where officers discovered the tragic scene. One puppy, reportedly attached to a mere 2-foot leash, and another, found with a chain around its neck, represent the horrifying conditions leading to their demise. Such acts of alleged cruelty cannot go unanswered.
Further details reveal a disturbing pattern. The adult dog, which miraculously survived, was in dire condition upon discovery, symbolizing the extent of alleged neglect. This case is not isolated, with similar incidents reportedly occurring in the area. One notable case involved a pit bull named Berry Blue, allegedly left to freeze to the point of euthanization. These incidents paint a grim picture of what appears to be a trend of alleged animal cruelty in the region.
Immediate legal action against those allegedly responsible is imperative. It’s crucial for ensuring justice for these innocent animals and deterring future acts of cruelty. Demand that the Macon County State’s Attorney rigorously pursue these cases, ensuring that those allegedly responsible face appropriate legal consequences.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Scott Rueter,
The recent allegations of animal cruelty in Decatur, involving the death of two pitbull puppies and the suffering of a third, have raised serious concerns. It’s alleged that these animals faced extreme neglect and abuse, resulting in death and significant suffering. Such acts, if proven true, should be met with the full force of the law.
In the context of these allegations, it’s not just about individual cases but a broader issue of animal welfare in the community. The case of Berry Blue, a pit bull that reportedly froze to death, is another heart-wrenching example of alleged neglect. These incidents highlight a potentially disturbing trend that needs urgent attention. It’s vital to address these issues robustly to prevent any more animals from suffering a similar fate.
I implore you to take swift and decisive action. Ensuring that those allegedly responsible are held accountable is crucial for justice. It also serves as a deterrent for similar acts in the future. We count on your commitment to upholding the law and protecting the most vulnerable among us.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

NO EXCUSE FOR THIS MONSTER. GIVE HIM THE SAME PUNISHMENT.
I agree 100%!!!!!!! HE DESERVES TO ROT IN HELL!!!!
I agree, no animal should suffer abuse at the hands of evil scum, Find them and name and shame them so everyone knows what they did. They must be banned for life from owning animals.
I hope whatever scum is responsible for this die a slow horrific and painful death. It’s time to kill these pieces of crap
I agree
You bet!!!
J.W.
Animal abusers and child abusers deserve death
100% agree. Enough is enough. Year after year we have to keep on hearing about the same barbaric animal abuse and our states and govts are doing nothing about it but a mere slap on the hand or tiny fine. Any judge on the case is just as guilty as these monsters. I’m so sick of this!!
It’s about having respect for other animals on this Earth. Raising the consciousness and recognizing we’re all creatures of the planet and all of us deserve the right to live here peacefully.
This is why i have no fucking respect for humanity.
No words! 💔💔💔
But they are pits right? NO ONE GIVES A SHIT!! They will never get justice. Not only will these vermin get away with this but breeders also will.STOP BREEDING DOGS AND CATS. A fucking law needs to be in place for that.
THIS ATROCITY IS WHY WE NEED STRICTER LAWS AGAINST ANIMAL ABUSE AND CRUELTY. PROSECUTE THOSE RESPONSIBLE TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW AND HOPEFULLY THE PERPETRATORS WILL FREEZE TO DEATH. I WANT SOMEONE TO LOCK THRM IN A WALKIN FREEZER AND THEN TAKE THEM TO THE MEXICAN DESERT IN JULY AND LET DIE OF HEATSTROKE.
What does it take to bury these fucking bums!
Why are the perps not named? Surely someone knows something. ALL THEIR NAMES SHOULD BE KNOW TO THE PUBLIC!!
This type of soulless EVIL does not get any better. They need to be chained up outside in minus 50 below until they take their last breath!
Scott Rueter, Macon County State’s Attorney …
It sounds like this is the norm for this community!!!!!!! THAT IS SO ATROCIOUS! I blame the justice system for allowing this to stand without any REAL punishment. Please start to do a clean up with REAL charges so that no more precious pit bulls, or any animal suffers. SEND THE RIGHT MESSAGE TO ALL IMMEDIATELY THAT ANIMAL CRUELTY WILL BE PUNISHABLE TO MAXIMUM. PLEASE DO A SWEEP AND GET ALL THE OTHER ANIMALS TO A NO KILL SHELTER LIKE BEST FRIENDS!!!!!!
EXECELLENTLY WRITTEN!!
AGREE. CHANGE THE LAW FOR BREEDERS!!!! MAKE IT ILLEGAL!!!!
Lock these fuckers up on a short chain to die!!!
The pos responsible for this (and anyone who abuses animals) should be tortured to death. Get this scum off the earth – they don’t deserve to live. Innocent animals do!! This needs to stop- I’m so sick of hearing about how evil humans can be!!
I’m so sorry to hear that the two pit bull puppies froze to death and the adult dog suffered severe injuries. I’ll never understand how people can be so cruel to animals. I hope whoever committed these despicable acts are caught and severely punished. RIP fur babies and to the dog who survived, get well soon. I hope you get justice.
Just a freaking nightmare for these poor dogs. Whoever did this will most likely get a slap on the wrist and that’s about it. Our justice system for the most part doesn’t take animal abuse seriously. I don’t consider paying a small fine and community service a just and proper punishment. This is very serious and these dogs suffered!!
Theirs no excuse for this act of cruelty punish them to the fullest extent of the law and never be allowed to own or be around any animals ever again period like I say humans have no compassion they are heartless and cruel 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Find the horrid monster who abused and murdered these innocent puppies and fine, jail and ban him from ever being near any animal again!
God rest these dear puppies ‘ souls in Heaven.
So tragic how anyone could cause such harm and abuse to animal living beings. So many more Law changes need to be done in order to prevent this from happening.
I’m heartbroken for these babies! Absolutely sickening! If these ignorant heartless people had to live outside on a chain then they would know what suffering is for these animals! It’s disgusting that so many get away with treating innocent animals this way! DO SOMETHING!
The same needs to be done to this devil. It’s that simple.
Euthanize the perpetrator(s) immediately.
The person who did this needs to die. Please post their name when they are found.
All of these animal torturing bastards need to die very painfully.
By any means. They are sure surplus to requirements and need to be treated like the garbage they are.
J,W.
