Sign the Petition
Target: Diana Becton, District Attorney, Contra Costa County, California
Goal: Ensure that individuals allegedly involved in a violent attack on a small dog face the strongest possible legal repercussions.
A small white dog named Gigi was reportedly subjected to brutal aggression after a heated altercation took place between two women and their neighbor. Video footage circulated on social media apparently shows the dog being kicked so forcefully that it was sent airborne. Authorities further noted that the two suspects were armed during the incident.
In the footage, one individual is allegedly captured violently kicking the dog, raising serious concerns about the welfare of animals living near such hostility. Officials have indicated that both suspects were arrested on multiple felony charges related to this alleged act of animal cruelty, as well as the involvement of a firearm.
Animals are vulnerable in situations of confrontation. When conflicts escalate, they can become the innocent targets of alleged violence. This petition demands that the responsible agency ensure such reported cruelty is met with serious legal ramifications—so that no future potential offenders believe such behavior will be taken lightly.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Becton,
A disturbing incident reportedly involved two individuals who were filmed apparently kicking a small dog, sending it flying through the air. According to law enforcement, these suspects were also armed and subsequently arrested on multiple felony charges. The nature of these allegations underscores the severity of the risk posed to both animals and community members.
Animal cruelty of this sort not only endangers the lives of defenseless creatures but can also signify an increased threat to public safety, especially when weapons are involved. By taking decisive legal action, you and your office can help affirm that such alleged behavior has no place in a caring, law-abiding society.
I urge you to devote every available resource to prosecuting this reported act of cruelty vigorously. Sending a strong message that such heinous treatment of animals will not be tolerated helps safeguard all living beings who call our communities home.
Sincerely,
Your Name Here
