Target: Sherry Boston, DeKalb County, Georgia District Attorney
Goal: Ensure full prosecution of the individual reportedly responsible for dragging dogs behind a car, resulting in death and injury.
Surveillance video from the Redan Recreation Center in Lithonia allegedly shows a suspect dragging two dogs behind a car. One of the dogs reportedly died from the incident, while the other, named Laydon, has made an amazing recovery and was recently adopted by a loving family. Such an apparent act of cruelty not only causes immense suffering to innocent animals but also raises serious concerns about public safety and the potential for future violent behavior. Research has proven a direct link between animal abuse and other crimes such as child abuse, elder abuse, and domestic violence.
Animal rights groups, including Georgia Animal Rights and Protection and Halo House for Dogs, have offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. The community has expressed outrage and a strong desire to see justice served in this case. It is imperative that the authorities prioritize this investigation to identify and prosecute the individual reportedly responsible. Send a clear message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated and help prevent future incidents of violence in the community.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Boston,
I am writing to express deep concern over the reported incident involving the dragging of two dogs behind a car in DeKalb County, resulting in the death of one of the animals. Surveillance footage from the Redan Recreation Center in Lithonia allegedly captures this disturbing act of cruelty. Such apparent abuse not only inflicts immense suffering on innocent animals but also poses a significant threat to public safety.
Research has shown a direct link between animal abuse and other forms of violence, including child abuse, elder abuse, and domestic violence. Allowing such acts to go unpunished may encourage further violent behavior and undermine the safety and well-being of our community.
I urge your office to prioritize the investigation and prosecution of the individual reportedly responsible for this heinous act. By taking strong legal action, you can help ensure that justice is served and send a powerful message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our society.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

To DA Boston, I am against any harm to any living being. This includes animals. Yet people like these thugs don’t have any decency except for themselves. Our legal system won’t do a damn thing about this and it will repeat until the law states, “what you give is exactly what you’ll get” When ignorant, stupid, thugs realize they might receive what they did, I think they might reconsider. It may take one or two times of showing the public the dragging of grown men, but I am certain that would be the end of this type of torture! They will think up other means but if these creeps don’t experience the effects of their torture it will keep happening.
Yes!!!!
The congress ppl must step up to protect these poor animals.
They are not doing a good job they only sit on their ass and collect 💰
Now..for those who harm or kill animal(s) must be treated the same way. Eye for eye ..tooth for tooth.. and throw their ass in the ocean or swamp and walk away.
Those people piss me off to no end .
You have the perp on video. Someone should know something. He must be apprehended and be punished accordingly. Felony First Degree. NOTHING LESS. No excuses….many people suffer and at the hands of others and DO NOT TORTURE INNOCENT ANIMALS. PERIOD!
You have a perp that will reoffend. Please get REAL justice for the little dog that passed and for Laydon’s needless suffering! I am so sorry to both little dogs.
THERE NEEDS TO BE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR ABUSING ANY ANIMAL TO SEND THE MESSAGE THAT ANIMAL CRUELTY WILL NEVER BE TOLERATED!
Perfectly said. Now let’s see it happen 🙏🙏🙏🤞🤞🤞
Anything on video needs to be an automatic guilty as soon as the video is authenticated. When it comes to animals and protecting them USA laws are pitiful and rarely used to the full extent. Time for changes.
Find this asshole; tie his ass behind a semi truck drag him until he dies or near death then run over him back and forth til his body is gone. This fucking bastard does not deserve to live.
Amen, how many vehicles will queue to flatten this bastard ..
Amen to that 🐾
DO THE SAME WITH THAT MONSTER WHO DID THIS TO THE INNOCENT ANIMALS. MAKE HIM SUFFER TO TILL HE DIES. NO MERCY.
This is intolerable. Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. Animal cruelty is cruelty to the totally helpless and innocent – it should never go unpunished.
There is now a $16,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the man who did this. I hope we see justice soon.
Turd boy must be taught a valuable life changing lesson here!
May this evil person go straight to HELL and burn in its FIRE! Animal Cruelty should be a high grade Felony!
I wish we could drag this asshole behind a car.
Who are the people accused of this crime? why not publish all the details rather than just minimal details.
This person needs to be dragged behind a car like he did to those poor defenseless animals. This type of violence tends to escalate. It will be children next! Get him off our streets and protect society!
Find this little bitch and drag his ass behind a car until he dies.
SHARE…SHARE…SHARE….HE HAS TO BE **KNOWN**THIS DEMONIC DEVIL WILL KEEP DOING THIS….WHAT ON GODS EARTH IS GOING ON TO ALLOW THIS DEVIL TO TORTURE THE INNOCENT!!! He will ‘continue on’ with this behavior as he gets away with it!!!!! PLEASE SHARE ALL OVER!!!! **THIS HAS TO BE KNOWN*** FOR ANYONE TO CARE ENOUGH TO STOP THIS GHOUL FROM HURTING MORE INNOCENTS!!
Vile sick lock them up
get him and do him n good chop his hands off
Drag the murderer behind a vehicle until he dies
Mandatory jail sentence.
I think we should start a good fund me and contribute money if they find this person and pay someone to do the same to him/her.
All animal abusers need to die plain and simple.
Post the fuckers name and address and let justice begin
Right on — Just what is needed!!
J.W.
Some are so EVIL and dangerous! I sure pray they catch who ever hurt this beautiful puppy. BUT. WHY?? THEY ARE NOT HUMAN…. and humans are not perfect, or even good . .. BUT THIS!!!??? WHY?!
