Target: Paul F. Tucker, Essex County District Attorney
Goal: Seek maximum legal consequences for the individual who apparently battered a defenseless dog and failed to provide vet care.
A defenseless dog allegedly endured shocking mistreatment, reportedly suffering severe physical abuse and neglect at the hands of its caretaker. Rescuers apparently discovered the terrified pet locked in a bathroom, bearing painful injuries that horrified seasoned animal welfare officials. This horrific discovery, which included evidence of apparent physical violence, underscores a profound betrayal of trust.
Despite the caretaker’s arrest and reported sentencing, concerns linger that such cruelty will persist if authorities do not continue to prioritize strict enforcement of animal welfare laws. Reports claim that the battered dog was left without veterinary assistance, possibly compounding the suffering. Many feel this apparent callous disregard for life deserves the harshest of legal repercussions.
Robust legal action is essential to deter repeat offenses and send a clear message that animals are not disposable. Increasing oversight, ensuring bans on future pet ownership, and demanding serious penalties for convicted abusers can help protect countless animals. The call to action is clear: hold perpetrators fully accountable and safeguard vulnerable pets against such violence.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Paul F. Tucker,
We, the undersigned, are writing to voice our concern over a case in which a caretaker apparently inflicted severe harm and neglect upon a dog. Rescue accounts indicate that this animal suffered shocking physical abuse and was subsequently found locked away, receiving no timely veterinary attention for its serious wounds.
While legal actions against this individual have reportedly been taken, the suffering allegedly endured by this dog highlights the urgent need to reinforce and uphold robust animal welfare protections. Any proven cruelty of this severity should meet with stringent legal consequences, if only to reinforce that society will not tolerate such abuse.
We respectfully urge you to maintain and strengthen the enforcement of current laws, ensuring meaningful penalties and strict lifetime bans for those convicted of harming defenseless animals. By doing so, you will send a clear message that this behavior is unacceptable and help prevent future acts of cruelty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

This is despicable cowardly and completely inhumane.The monster who did this should be put in front of a group of STONE THROWERS and see how he gets on.
What a poorly written petition: no mention of any identifiable info like the name of the “caretaker”, the name and breed of the dog, even when or where this abuse took place? BTW, Essex County is in Massachusetts- thanks google. But I could not find any info on this case because any pertinent details are omitted here and it is just too too vague for a search. Sadly, if one searches “abused dog MA”, way too many results… Still going to sign though. Maybe DA Paul F. Tucker will know which case this is about. Hopefully.
Ah, finally found articles about this horrific case. Sad, and truly gruesome. And the reason it was so difficult to find is that the abuse did not take place in Essex County, MA, of which Paul F. Tucker is DA and to whom the petition is directed, but actually took place in Essex, England! Not sure what a DA in Massachusetts is going to be able to do for crimes committed in England…
The name of the POS Who most heinously and viciously abused his poor dog, Mulla, is Mason Lukeman, 23 years old, of Wellesley Road, Clacton. He only received one year for repetitive traumatic abuse that left Mulla with several fractured teeth, a fractured skull, fracture of both cheek bones, two fractured ribs, dislocation of tail vertebrae, and skin damage. And she lost an eye. For this, he only got one year prison, a small fine and a lifetime ban on keeping animals.
“The Man that physically abused his dog and left her with broken bones and “blood dripping from her mouth” has been banned from keeping animals for the rest of his life.”
Some good news- Mulla survived and was re-homed to a loving family where she seems to be doing well.
