Target: Kym Worthy, Wayne County Prosecutor
Goal: Prosecute those allegedly responsible for the horrific abuse of Gideon the puppy to the fullest extent of the law.
Gideon, a three-month-old Jack Russell Terrier, reportedly endured unconscionable pain and suffering after being submerged in boiling water. Rescued by the Detroit Animal Welfare Group (DAWG), Gideon was allegedly found with third-degree burns covering his body, a condition described as unprecedented by rescue professionals. As reported, his plight sparked outrage and concern, leading to protests demanding accountability and swift justice. It is imperative that those alleged to have committed this atrocious act face serious legal repercussions, reflecting the severity of this egregious animal cruelty.
Further investigation into Gideon’s case apparently reveals the disturbing reality of animal abuse that often goes unpunished. DAWG spokesperson Kelly LaBonty expressed her frustration over the prolonged period without charges, emphasizing the need for justice that aligns with the gravity of the abuse allegedly inflicted on Gideon. Volunteers like Janet Austin have devoted significant time and resources to aid Gideon’s recovery, which involved extensive medical interventions and nurturing. The emotional toll on those advocating for Gideon can only be matched by their resolve in seeking justice, demanding that those responsible for his suffering be held accountable.
This case underscores a broader issue within the handling of animal abuse cases in general, highlighting the pressing need for justice that prioritizes the safety and well-being of vulnerable beings like Gideon. The way this case is managed will set a precedent for how similar cases are treated in the future. It is essential that the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office ensures a robust prosecution occurs for the sake of Gideon and all animals who cannot speak for themselves.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecutor Worthy,
The horror of the dog Gideon’s alleged abuse demands immediate and serious action. The allegations surrounding his traumatic experience, including being submerged in boiling water, have shocked our community and sparked widespread protests seeking justice. Gideon’s painful recovery and the dedicated efforts of his rescuers highlight the urgent need for accountability. It is crucial that those allegedly responsible for this heinous act of animal cruelty face the full weight of the law, as a mere slap on the wrist would send a damaging message about the severity of such crimes.
As you continue your investigation, we implore you to prioritize the prosecution of those allegedly involved in Gideon’s suffering. The voices of advocates and supporters cannot be ignored; we stand united in our demand for a thorough and timely pursuit of justice. The community’s response to Gideon’s plight reflects a profound commitment to protecting the rights of all animals, and it is essential that this determination leads to meaningful legal consequences for the accused.
We urge you to take definitive action to ensure that Gideon’s case is treated with the seriousness it warrants. Animals like Gideon deserve justice, and the work of your office can establish a landmark precedent for the treatment of animal cruelty cases in Wayne County. Prosecute those allegedly responsible for Gideon’s horrific abuse to the fullest extent of the law.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

And I for an eye, and that’s the only way these kind of bastards will learn
But no USA is a civilized country and all this shit goes uncounted
Those were the first words I thought of, an eye for an eye.
Heres where you let the people handle thus one. Wtf
Well, does anyone know who this bastard is and where he resides? This tosser really needs to find out what serious pain is all about! If anyone feels as ‘incensed’ as I do towards this sick torturing bastard, then there are ways to make these sods understand that animal torture WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!
One way that could be interesting is as follows:- Firstly do a little research as to where he goes (what times etc) probably better at night time if you can and where you will be able to leave quickly! This is important. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PLANNED EXIT ROUTE!!!
NOW—Here is what you will need and will have prepared earlier.
(A) One ‘Thermos’ soup flask. You know, the one with the wide top. This is important as a normal tea flask will not work!
(B) Freshly BOILED water or better still, some lightweight engine oil that has been boiled up in an old saucepan and carefully transferred to said flask!!
The harder part comes when you have to locate the bastard. And please remember that you ‘DO NOT’
want any witnesses!!! You will need to get near to him with an excuse like “ Oh excuse me, are you local, I seem to be lost”. Or “Hey Pete— Oh sorry I thought you were my drinking mate” or some similar excuse to get close to him.
But- before this the top needs to be off of the flask so maybe need to be careful ‘YOU’ do not get burned!
THEN— as he turns to face you, quickly ‘let fly’ the contents of the flask to the bastards face!
THEN- disappear bloody quick whilst he is screaming and shouting! Again I emphasise HAVE YOUR ESCAPE ROUTE WELL PLANNED!!!!
To mention from earlier, this is why it must be a wide topped flask so the contents will come out quickly! And you could say— something like “ This is for the innocent puppy you bastard”. Don’t worry the prick will know!! And I am sure you would have no remorse. To mention, I sure didn’t and sleep quite happily.
O.K. so he will not be dead but afterwards his scars and disfigurement will remind him hopefully why this has happened.
Sorry folks but the useless Judicial system is well, USELESS!!! Just hope that some see my way of getting some justice for innocent tortured animals!!
J.W.
Just an important addendum to my above submission. Keep an eye out for security cameras. Be ‘fired’ up and BE CAREFUL. It does work!!!!

The deranged bastard that did this was the 19 year old daughter of Gideon’s owner. She did it apparently to spite her mother. Definitely sick. Her name has yet to be released, probably because she hasn’t yet been arrested. They live in Detroit, Michigan, where the police are dragging out this investigation. It’s been months. So, poor Gideon is still waiting for justice, if he ever gets it. And, there are other dogs still in the home…
I just hope that there are some ‘ fired up’ singles or Vigilante groups who could ‘ dish out’ my method above. I am sure there would be be people who felt the same as I towards this 19 year old bastard girl (woman) perp! These buggers need to know. What pain is all about. Male or female, either need the same treatment to bring the bastards back to the reality of their actions.
This piece of shit deserves a face full of the seriously HOT liquid to remind her every day that animal abuse and torture really DOES NOT PAY!!!
J.W.
This was done in a bathtub???!!! That means this FUCKIN PSYCHOPATH literally TOOK THE TIME to boil water to fill a tub and HOLD THIS PUPPY THERE TO BURN???!!! WHAT THE FUCK

UNBELIEVABLE AND TOTALLY DISGUSTING ACT OF CRUELTY!!!
THESE MONSTERS MUST BE CAUGHT ASAP THEY ARE NOTHING BUT LOSERS IN SOCIETY AND SADISTIC TO SAY THE LEAST!!!
THEY MUST BE REPREMANDED AND LOCKED AWAY FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND NEED A PHYCOLOGICAL EVALUATION.THEY ARE KILLERS!!!!
What a heinous act of cruel torture. Whoever did this is mentally disturbed. These people need to be held accountable and our justice system needs to improve. Animal lives matter!
According to DAWG (Detroit Animal Welfare Group), who has been over seeing his care, Gideon was burned by a 19-year-old woman who was angry at her mother and did it to spite her. Her name has yet to be released, probably because she hasn’t been arrested as of yet. Detroit police are really dragging their heels on this investigation; it’s been on going since February. Additionally disturbing, there are other dogs still left in the home- they were not confiscated and are still in danger. DAWG has a Facebook page were they are keeping updates on Gideon’s healing progress and updates on the criminal investigation.

Plunge the monster perpetrator into boiling water. Give them understanding of what their victim suffered and how evil that they themselves are. Justice!
Why isn’t the name of the criminal public? If it is a mentally ill person expose their devious criminal activity and put them in a mental institution for life, they are a danger to society. Why do we constantly have to make excuses for cruel and criminal behaviors? How did this heinous crime happen, who would give this monster a dog to harm? This monster will be putting people into hot water next, will that be the time action is taken? This poor innocent dog. Shame on society for allowing this cruelty.
A person whose cruelty is so horrific, must be put away! For a very long time equal to a murder case!! This person is insane! If it were a child what would the law do??? Please do the right thing. !! This person is insane!!!
The bastard who does something like this seriously needs to go into the healthcare system
God knows what he did to his wife and children
For the Animal, he should definitely get some serious serious consequences not just talk. Typical of what the USA does.
