Target: Director David B. Rausch, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation
Goal: Secure legal consequences for the alleged mistreatment of seventeen Chihuahuas in a storage unit, ensuring such cruelty ceases.
Shocking news emerged from Morristown, Tennessee, involving seventeen Chihuahuas reportedly found in a storage unit under harrowing conditions. Allegations suggest these animals, some barely neonatal with their eyes still closed, endured neglect and exposure to cold. These claims, if true, depict a heart-wrenching scenario of animal cruelty.
Further details from the Morristown Hamblen Humane Society indicate these pups required medical attention, with some facing health ‘hiccups.’ The broader context involves a rising trend in animal abuse cases in Tennessee. A staggering 36.5% increase was reported between 2020 and 2022. This incident, therefore, appears to be not an isolated case but part of a disturbing pattern.
The recent legislative efforts in Tennessee to define adequate animal sheltering are commendable. Yet, this incident highlights a dire need for stricter enforcement and legal repercussions. Take decisive action against those responsible for this alleged cruelty. Ensure that such inhumane treatment does not recur.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Director David B. Rausch,
I write to you deeply troubled by a recent incident in Morristown involving seventeen Chihuahuas, allegedly found in deplorable conditions within a storage unit. This case, reportedly one of many in a growing trend of animal cruelty in Tennessee, calls for your immediate attention.
The details emerging from the Morristown Hamblen Humane Society paint a grim picture. Animals, some neonatal, allegedly endured neglect and severe weather conditions in a confined, inappropriate space. Such treatment, if proven true, is not only morally reprehensible but also a violation of the state’s animal welfare laws. This incident underscores a pressing need for more robust legal action against animal cruelty.
Therefore, I urge you to leverage your authority and resources to investigate this case thoroughly. Hold those allegedly responsible accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Your intervention will send a clear message: animal cruelty is a serious offense in Tennessee, and it will not be tolerated. Prompt action in this case will also support the ongoing legislative efforts to safeguard the welfare of animals.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

How sweet so many are offering to give these adorable pups a home ♡. Beibg in a storage unit, they should know who did this! Need stricter laws!
SICK HORRIBLE PPL, should NOT be allowed in society
PROSECUTE THESE MONSTERS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW AND LOCK THEM UP IN A FREEZING COLD JAIL CELL!! THESE POOR INNOCENT PUPPIES DESERVE JUSTICE FOR THEIR CRUEL ABUSE AND TORTURE!!! THESE MONSTERS SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO BE NEAR ANOTHER ANIMAL AGAIN!!!!
catch the sicko that did this and lock them in a unit
I would be honor to adopt one of these puppies please contact me asap
AN EYE FOR A EYE WOULD WORK VERY QUICKLY, SINCE JUSTICE SYSTEMS ARE NOT UP TO THE TASK!!!
These savages should be left in the artic with no clothes
By the comments left, it sure looks like the POS that did this could have adopted these little precious pups out instead of abusing them. This is definitely a case that needs to be addressed and punished to the fullest extent of the law and beyond.
Agree!! They could have gotten rid of them safely & they would not have gone through the torture & neglect!
STOP BREEDING DOGS AND CATS AND THIS SHIT MIGHT NOT HAPPEN!!
Exactly. There are too many of these ‘so-called’ dog breeders making pots of money at the animals expense! And many with no compassion for the animals whatsoever!
There should be some legislation on these puppy farms to stop the unscrupulous breeders from monetary gain, although to them the animals feelings and condition matter not one jot!
So these buggers are the ones who need ‘mobbing’ , these bastards who treat their breeding dogs like pieces of crap and could not give a toss wether they live or die.
And if stupid people would get off their ‘high horses’ and adopt a dog instead of paying silly money for a so-called pedigree to show off and brag to their neighbours, there would NOT be so many unwanted and homeless dogs on our planet!!
Whoever abandoned those puppies is an IDIOT. There are plenty of people who would’ve paid a ton of money for them. The person could’ve made money and went on their merry way. I hope those puppies have a speedy recovery and find loving homes.
Shocking news? from Tennessee? Not really…hope these little pups are OK……
