Sign the Petition
Target: Gabrielle Mucciola, Prosecuting Attorney for Monongalia County, West Virginia
Goal: Ensure strict legal consequences for treatment of a dog allegedly found emaciated and near collapse.
A dog was reportedly discovered in an extremely malnourished state after authorities responded to a domestic dispute. Witnesses say the skeletal dog was curled up near a couch, barely able to move, with every bone visible through its skin. According to reports, this dog’s life hung in the balance, underscoring what appears to be prolonged starvation and neglect.
Such a disturbing discovery strongly suggests that the animal may have been denied even the most basic sustenance and veterinary care. The dog’s alarming condition appears to represent a severe case of cruelty, and those allegedly responsible must be held accountable. Legal action is essential to send a clear message that such apparent neglect has no place in a compassionate society.
Protecting animals from extreme hardship is a shared responsibility, and calling for accountability is vital to preventing further distress. Demand that justice be served for this dog by insisting on vigorous prosecution and significant penalties if this alleged act of cruelty is confirmed.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecuting Attorney Mucciola,
A malnourished dog was reportedly discovered during a police response to a domestic dispute, its body so emaciated that officers could discern its skeletal structure beneath the skin. If verified, these allegations reflect an appalling form of neglect that no living creature should ever endure. Ensuring accountability in cases like this is critical to upholding the core values of humane treatment and protecting defenseless animals.
When animals are reduced to a desperate state of starvation, they face immense suffering and potential long-term health complications. In addition, unchecked neglect may embolden others to disregard the law and basic welfare standards. A stringent legal approach is necessary to deter future incidents and to prioritize justice for those who cannot speak for themselves.
I respectfully request that your office devote every resource to prosecuting this case in accordance with the law. A strong response will emphasize the serious nature of animal cruelty and help safeguard other animals from a similarly dire fate.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

People are horrid. Reasonable punishment could slow this epidemic. Needs an exaggerated consequence. The laws need to be CHANGED!!!!
Faith, if you clicked on the link provided earlier you would have seen that the dog in question was a HOUND MIX so CLEARLY NOT the dog in the picture.These petitions rarely show the actual victim. Along with all the other comments on your longwinded drivel I would like to add mine but it is not printable. If anyone is brainwashed, as you have accused others of being, then I think it might just be YOU….
100% with you on this one Sister Cecily.
Some people just have no bloody idea!!!!

Yes indeed, this one had absolutely no idea and was pretty persistent with it, despite having it spelled out by others several times!
I am so sorry little angel for all you suffered. God’s healing hand will protect you now…..
The dog pictured or not, the fact remains that a dog was abused. It’s not unusual for animals, humans,to be abused and tortured and killed. It’s not unusual for animals, humans to be raped.
Who gives a damn if it’s the actual dog?
Precious baby you are safe now, the person who did this why on earth would you not take this baby to a shelter, at least this baby would not having to suffer the abuse. Thank God this baby was rescued and I hope your not stupid enough to go back to the person who abused you
Unless these worthless pet owners are help accountable for their obvious neglect of their dog, these scumbags will continue to neglect this dog and any other pets they may have or acquire. An investigation needs to be conducted and this poor dog needs to be removed from its current situation and placed under veterinary care at the owners expense. That poor dog is suffering and until an investigation proves otherwise, the owners are to blame! How these owners can look at their dog and not feel guilty for neglecting it is unfathomable to me.
These fuckers certainly WILL NOT be looking at their dog again because the motherfuckers have STARVED IT TO DEATH AND MURDERED IT! The bible says an ‘eye for an eye’. I just hope there is some animal activist group out there who have the guts to do it then it would show the bloody useless Judicial system that this shit WILL NOT be tolerated!
J.W.
Absolutely No Tolerance Towards Animal ABUSERS n Cruelty. An eye for an eye fits this crime n should be the punishment. Paws Matter
Life in prison for bastard abuser,coward,burn in hell,POS,SOB!
Justice for dog!
Starve the accused (Jerome Williams) down to an emaciated state, close to death. Let him see if it’s nice to be so starved. It can’t harm him to get a bit thinner.
The evil owners of this poor dog must die! Kill these sadistic cowards and make them suffer!!!!
Jerome Williams must hang! Make that evil dirt bag pay! Such cruel demonic people belong in hell! I hope this poor precious dog is safe now…..
