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]

    If WV is too pansy-assed to take care of this the right way for justice, I will volunteer my time. A taser, some rope, a tree and a few weeks and we’ll have some dandy buzzard food. That poor dog – I can’t imagine what it went through. How effing evil do you have to be to do that to an innocent animals? The whole damn household is responsible for that and the whole damn household needs to pay for it. Jerome Williams shouldn’t be allowed to see 56 years old!

    • Yup. Ur. Right. ! And why did this guy do this to this poor animal !

      • And why did this guy do this to this poor animal !
        Well the bastard DID IT because he could, and there was no one to stop him!
        So this bugger now needs to know the error of his torturing ways. One way or the other, Justice needs to be secured for this innocent dog.
        Unfortunately I am much too far away to be of any practical use in this instance but from some experience say that Justice CAN be accomplished with care and planning.
        Maybe someone or group out there has the same feelings about these animal torturing bastards as do I.
        And if so, then GOOD ON YOU!! Just take care not to get caught!!

    • Again with you on this one Sister Julie 100%!!!!
      J.W.

    • Have a ‘rethink’ before you disappear from this site Sister Julie. People like you are needed to show the true feelings of the majority of us here towards these animal torturing bastards. I know we never seem to get any updates about these pieces of shit perps and this is where vigilantes are needed. Your submissions help to put ‘fire’ in the bellies of normal living people who, sooner or later will say enough is enough and have the ‘guts’ to go out singly or in groups, and like the 1600 Salem ‘witch- hunts, drag these animal torturing bastards from their home and deal with them accordingly. Right now this ‘IS’ the only way that these sick- brained fuckers are going to be stopped. No mercy. Stamp the motherfuckers to death and it would be a direct message to all other animal murdering buggers as to what WILL happen to them when caught. The legal system is worthless and will do sweet fuck all. Vigilante Justice is the only thing right now that will stop these torturous atrocities
      J.W.

  20. Please make sure Jerome Williams of Morgantown receives a lifetime BAN from owning ANY animal. And he needs to be held financially responsible for all the care that that beautiful sweet dog needed before it passed away.
