Target: Craig W. Wiley, City Attorney of Beech Grove, Indiana
Goal: Pursue maximum legal consequences for the caretaker who reportedly left two dogs to freeze to death.
Two small dogs were apparently discovered lifeless in a kennel, one found partially covered with snow and the other seemingly deceased for some time with disturbing injuries. Investigating officers reportedly found a frozen water dish and no signs of consistent care, suggesting these vulnerable animals may have endured extreme neglect in lethal cold temperatures. Their final moments, spent trapped in such harsh and isolated conditions, underscore the severity of this apparent abandonment.
Distressingly, authorities noted that the doghouse was blocked by a container filled with snow, limiting the dogs’ ability to escape. One of the animals allegedly displayed traumatic wounds that could be the result of starvation or desperation within the confined area. These tragic details raise urgent concerns about the level of responsibility taken by their caretaker and the seemingly unimaginable suffering experienced by these animals.
Immediate and decisive action is needed to ensure that individuals accused of such apparent neglect face the consequences outlined under animal welfare laws. Laws must be enforced in a manner that clearly illustrates society’s commitment to safeguarding the well-being of all creatures. Sign below and demand the caretaker is held fully accountable for this heartbreaking incident, if they are found guilty, and prevent similar tragedies from occurring.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Attorney Craig W. Wiley,
We, the undersigned, are writing with grave concern about the apparent discovery of two dogs frozen to death in a kennel. The conditions described—frozen water, blocked exits, and possible severe neglect—indicate a disturbing lack of care that may have culminated in prolonged suffering and ultimate loss of life.
Reports of one dog lying partially in the snow and another possibly having endured trauma within the doghouse highlight the chilling reality of this alleged act. Any animals left without adequate shelter and proper sustenance in extreme conditions are at immediate risk, and such neglect, if proven, deserves a thorough legal response.
We respectfully request that your office hold those reportedly responsible fully accountable for their alleged disregard of these defenseless animals. By seeking the maximum penalties, you can help send a clear message that our legal system will not tolerate cruelty, and better safeguard vulnerable animals from harm.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
