Elderly Dog Burned in His Own Backyard Deserves Justice

Target: Rachel Mitchell, District Attorney of Phoenix, Arizona

Goal: Secure justice for elderly dog horrifically burned to death in a deliberate attack.

Shocking reports have emerged about a horrific act of cruelty inflicted upon an innocent, elderly dog named Duke, in Phoenix. An unknown assailant drenched him in gasoline and set him aflame in his backyard. The brutality of this attack on a defenseless animal, peacefully asleep behind his home, strikes a chord of outrage and demands immediate attention.

Further distressing details reveal that Duke, a 16-year-old pit bull-mastiff mix, suffered from severe burns so catastrophic that euthanasia was deemed the only merciful option. This cruel incident not only highlights a disturbing act of violence but also raises alarm over the safety and well-being of animals in our communities. Silent Witness and PETA, in response, have combined their resources to offer a reward totaling $9,000 for information leading to the arrest of the individual responsible.

The necessity for action is clear. We urge immediate measures to ensure the individual allegedly behind this heinous act is apprehended and faces the full extent of the law. This petition calls on the District Attorney to prioritize this case, ensuring justice for Duke and preventing future acts of violence against animals. Do not such cruelty.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear DA Rachel Mitchell,

A case has emerged from Phoenix that encapsulates a horrific act of cruelty against a defenseless elderly dog. Reportedly, an individual doused Duke, a 16-year-old pit bull-mastiff mix, in gasoline and set him on fire while he was asleep in his backyard. The severity of Duke’s injuries led to the heartrending decision to euthanize him, to alleviate his suffering from the severe burns inflicted upon him.

The community is in shock, mourning the loss of Duke and deeply concerned about the safety of other animals. This act of cruelty not only took Duke’s life in a most barbaric manner but also posed a stark question about our society’s tolerance for violence against animals. The rewards offered by Silent Witness and PETA reflect the public’s desire for justice and the urgency of apprehending the individual responsible for preventing future acts of cruelty.

We implore you, as the District Attorney, to take swift and decisive action in this case. It’s crucial that thorough investigations are conducted to bring the perpetrator to justice, ensuring such a heinous act does not go unpunished. This will not only serve justice for Duke but also demonstrate a commitment to safeguarding the welfare of all animals in our community.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

    The person that committed this evil should receive the same fate as this innocent dog!

  2. Starla Wallace says:

    I hope there is justice for Duke! Pets or any animal are no longer safe outside, due to evil people in the world!

  3. Too many asshole, cruel people!! That’s why I care for animals more!

  4. May you find and bring the assailant to justice…no animal should have their days on earth ended in this heinous manner.

  5. We just had to put our pittie named duke to rest in December so this struck a nerve. The person who did this doesn’t deserve jail, doesn’t deserve a mental facility, doesn’t even deserve death. They deserve torture, every minute of every day begging and pleading for it to stop . Once they truly know what duke went thru maybe they will realize what they did. The laws are far to lenient on this abuse to an animal especially a domesticated pet. It should be the same as if this was to a fellow human.

    • How I wish this could happen. I don’t agree with abortion,but some people don’t deserve to have ever been born.

    • What the hell. Every other day there is some bastard torturing an animal — seems like most of the time it is dogs. Supposedly mans best friend.
      Someone must know the whereabouts of this bloody prick!! If anyone can locate the sod then I suggest a few vigilant people could chuck some gasoline over the fucker and watch the bugger jump and dance just like a puppet on a string. If this could be achieved then many people would be happy.
      Bastard deserves to be taken out very painfully for this heinous act.
      Termination of this piece of shit would be very welcome.

  6. This is clearly the work of a disturbed not-quite-human who does not need to be free. Chances are good that this creature has done this before and will do so again. True justice would be to do the same to this POS but a long time in prison would be satisfactory.

    • These buggers are NOT DISTURBED. They just ENJOY watching animals suffer in agony. And the only way they can be stopped is by mob justice. No one would miss the torturing bastards and the world would rid if the tossers permanently.
      So serious power to anyone or group who can make this happen. These buggers MUST be stopped on way or the other!!

  7. I read things like this and realize more every day that there are some really bad people out there. This poor dog was sleeping in his own backyard and someone felt the need to hurt him and now he’s dead. This will continue until there are meaningful animal welfare laws and severe punishments, like many years in prison. No plea deals and no community service as a punishment! Lenient judges need to find a new occupation!!

    • And we have imbeciles in my neighborhood who let cats out in street side. A black cat let out near Halloween. I know a pos woman next door to where this cat roams and she throws rocks at owned cats in her garden. I told owner of cat if it disappears or gets run over that it is on her.

    • Agree – what about a job in an animal shelter where the results of abject cruelty meted out on poor innocents would be constantly in the [ex]-judge’s sight?

  8. KEEP YOUR CATS AND DOGS INSIDE!!

  9. Maybe this person should feel what that poor dog had to endure. Maybe your punishment should be to burn alive. A little eye for an eye. If that were my dog, you would need to have a whole new identity in place. Your life wouldn’t be worth shit.

  10. There are monsters out there, keep your pets indoors unless you are with them. I would off this person if I had a chance. He doesn’t deserve to live. So sick of animal cruelty. Someone knows who did this, turn him in!!!

  11. In USA worden de meeste dieren mishandeld

  12. Enough of this terrible cruelty. Justice for the innocent defenseless dog. Harshest punishment for the monster who committed this crime. Swift action, PLEASE.

  13. Danielle Morrison says:

    Can anyone get the name/address of the person who did this? Please share any information you have. Laws are not strict enough and neither is the punishment. There are new groups out here that avenge these types of people and I will pass along all informstion to one of the groups.

    • I want to be part of that group. I am a warrior for animals. He will be caught….the reward is growing

    • Bloody brilliant.
      This is what is needed to stop these bastards in their tracks. Taken out, seriously painfully with some duct tape over the pricks mouths so they cannot scream! Let the group punishment fit the torturous crime!!
      Only way to go with these buggers.J.W.

  14. 10,000.00 reward, turn the enbred scumbag in. I’m guessing, look closely at the neighbors. Did anyone complain about their 2 dogs ? Someone who doesn’t like dogs?? This enbred will be caught. Better run and hide loser.

  15. If that was my dog…..I would hunt that POS down if it took every penny I had. Then he his worst nightmare would come true.

    • Exactly my thoughts ‘bro’. The bastard would be screaming at me to stop him from burning and I would just laugh at the bastard whilst he ‘fried’ knowing that he was feeling the same as this innocent dog.
      This is what this bleeder seriously deserves!!
      J.W.

    Find that Living Piece of Shit who did this and douse them with gasoline and let them burn to death which would be doing this World a Great Favor of ridding Pure Evil from This Earth.

  17. This is absolutely horrendous. To do this to an old dog asleep in his own backyard is beyond understanding. Please find the person responsible and severely prosecute him/her. The laws governing animal cruelty have to become more severe.

  18. Maria Lavorato says:

    My heart breaks Duke…What a gorgeous boy….

    This vile scum should be doused in gas and lit. He cannot be free any longer! Do whatever is needed to find him.

  19. Susan Silva says:

    FIND THIS SICK MONSTER AND PROSECUTE AND LOCK THEM UP!!! THEY WILL NOT STOP THEY ARE PURE SICK AND EVIL!!! THIS POOR INNOCENT PUP DESERVES JUSTICE!!!
