Dog Reportedly Found Severely Underweight Deserves Justice

Target: Harnett County, North Carolina District Attorney Suzanne Matthews

Goal: Ensure thorough prosecution of individual reportedly responsible for dog’s death from starvation.

A heart-wrenching case has emerged involving a boxer dog named Kiki, who was reportedly found severely emaciated and later died despite medical intervention. Photographs shared on social media appeared to show Kiki in a state of extreme malnourishment, sparking public outrage and concern over potential animal neglect.

Kiki was surrendered by her owner to a shelter, where she was allegedly found to weigh only 34 pounds—far below the typical weight range of 55 to 75 pounds for her breed. Veterinarians diagnosed her with kidney disease and assessed her body condition score at a dangerously low 0.5. Despite efforts to save her, euthanasia was recommended due to her deteriorating health.

This tragic situation underscores the urgent need for a thorough investigation to determine whether severe neglect led to Kiki’s condition and death. Animals depend on their caretakers for proper nutrition, medical care, and humane treatment. It is imperative that those reportedly responsible are held accountable to prevent future cases of animal cruelty. Demand that justice is served for Kiki by ensuring a comprehensive investigation and appropriate legal action.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear District Attorney Matthews,

I am writing to express deep concern over the case of a boxer dog named Kiki, who was allegedly found severely emaciated and later died despite medical efforts to save her. Photographs circulating on social media appear to depict Kiki in an extreme state of malnutrition, and veterinarians reportedly determined her body condition score to be 0.5, with a weight of only 34 pounds.

Such a condition raises serious questions about potential severe neglect and mistreatment. Animals rely on their caretakers for basic needs, and failing to provide adequate nutrition and medical care constitutes a grave injustice. It is crucial that this matter is thoroughly investigated to determine the circumstances that led to Kiki’s deteriorated state and subsequent death.

I urge your office to prioritize this case and ensure that those reportedly responsible for Kiki’s condition are held accountable under the law. By taking decisive legal action, you can help prevent future instances of animal cruelty and send a strong message that such neglect will not be tolerated in our community.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
