Target: Eileen O’Neill Burke, Cook County State’s Attorney
Goal: Seek justice for Rocky, a dog allegedly found abandoned with shattered hips and broken ribs.
A heart-wrenching incident has come to light in Chicago, where a young dog named Rocky was allegedly subjected to horrific acts of mistreatment at the hands of his owner. Found by a compassionate dog owner named Brianne Coleman, who stumbled upon him abandoned in rocks, Rocky’s condition was shocking: his hips were reportedly shattered, with his ribs in various stages of healing. This suggests that Rocky endured severe suffering over an extended period. It is essential that those responsible for such cruelty are held accountable to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
Upon discovering Rocky, Coleman took immediate action, connecting with her community to raise over $21,000 for the pup’s medical care. Despite the extensive injuries he apparently sustained, Rocky has made a remarkable recovery, regaining 90% of his mobility. However, this should not overshadow the seriousness of the alleged crimes committed against him. After diligent investigation and tracking down surveillance footage of the alleged abuser, 29-year-old Benjamin Wilkins was arrested and is facing felony charges for animal torture and aggravated cruelty to animals. A strong community effort led to this initial step towards justice, but it is crucial that these charges lead to meaningful consequences.
The principles of justice necessitate appropriate punishment for those who engage in acts of cruelty towards animals. Abusing an innocent being like Rocky is a stark reminder of the urgent need for stricter enforcement of animal protection laws. It is imperative that the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office upholds justice by ensuring that alleged animal abuser Benjamin Wilkins receives a penalty commensurate with the severity of his crimes. This will not only serve as a critical measure for Rocky but also send a resounding message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our community.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear State’s Attorney Burke,
Recent events surrounding a young dog named Rocky have highlighted the urgent need for justice in cases of animal cruelty. Allegations against 29-year-old Benjamin Wilkins suggest that he has committed heinous acts, torturing Rocky and neglecting him to the point of severe injury. It is heart-wrenching to learn that this innocent six-month-old dog apparently suffered from shattered hips and multiple broken ribs, indicative of prolonged abuse and suffering. Such actions are abhorrent and demand accountability.
Thanks to a community’s passionate efforts, Rocky was rescued and is now beginning to heal; however, the fight for justice is far from over. Alleged evidence against Wilkins, including surveillance footage, places him as the owner responsible for this egregious neglect. The felony charges being brought against him for animal torture and aggravated cruelty are a step in the right direction, but it is crucial that these charges translate into appropriate punishment to reflect not only Rocky’s suffering but also protect other vulnerable animals in our community from similar abuses.
Appropriate action must be taken to ensure that perpetrators of animal cruelty face significant consequences. By holding Benjamin Wilkins accountable for his alleged actions, the Cook County State’s Attorney can reaffirm the community’s commitment to protecting animal welfare and sending a clear message that cruelty towards animals will not be tolerated. We urge you to seek a robust prosecution that reflects the severity of these crimes.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Why do these monsters get a dog or any kind of pet; And torture and best them and often kill them?? Just give them up. …
They acquire them to do just that! Beat them, torture them, and no doubt the fuckers will kill them!
This is where Animal Activist groups could help by finding and giving these bastards exactly what they need. And that is, ‘beating shitless’ or just leave the buggers where they are and hope that the pricks will die where they lay!!
J.W.
I pray this precious pup can heal, and get a loving home.
the ones responsible should experience pain far worse than they could imagine!
Kill this POS. Now.
OMG! How could anyone hurt this sweet little baby.
Thank you Brianne!
THE ONLY TRUE JUSTICE IS THAT Benjamin Wilkins IS BEATEN TO A PULP AND THEN DUMPED ON SOME REMOTE MOUNTAIN TO DIE!
No Brianne to rescue HIM!!!!
Hope Rocky makes a full recovery & finds a fantastic loving home & family that will help him forget the hell he suffered.
Now for the asshole that did that to Rocky, may he suffer the same pain he inflicted on Rocky then go to jail & be attacked by animal lovers in jail!
Partam-lhe os ossos todos na prisão e acabem com esse monstro.
No punishment will ever be enough for the man who did this!! He needs a lifetime ban on ever owning any other animals for the rest of his miserable life!
People should be put away horrible
This is pure evil and cannot go without the full JUSTICE
Smash the hips and ribs of this piece of garbage and leave him to suffer in the street with no pain medication, so he can know what pain he inflicted on Rocky. Jail-time (financed from honest taxpayer’s money) is too good for this pathetic sub-human. Or kick him out of the USA along with the illegal immigrants.
I was fine with your comment until you mentioned kicking him out with illegal immigrants. I bet it’s okay for you to let healthy Afrikaners with no life-threatening issues come into the US though, right? F*ck you and your racist bullsh*t.
This site is for the good of tortured and murdered animals! —And NO, I think I would say ‘fuck you’ and YOUR RACIST BULLSHIT!
I am ‘white’ so if I get called ‘ Whitey’ or ‘White Trash’ can I bring out the ‘ racist shit’ for MY hurt feelings? Of course not!
And here in the U.K. as in other countries there are boatloads of these “Illegal Immigrants”arriving on our shores daily expecting five star treatment.
But do not get me wrong. We have thousands of nationalities in our country who are brilliant and seriously very hard workers and earn their money genuinely. Millions of us have been ‘ripped off’ by taxation over the years so why should these ‘illegals’ expect to be kept at our expense?
The trouble with many of these people is that they have nothing to do but make babies who grow into adulthood and have no jobs and nothing. So descending on another ‘ soft -touch’ country seems like a good plan.
Anyway, I digress here as this site is not for ‘racist’ comments. Whoever invented the word should have had their necks stepped on at birth!
Sorry if anyone thinks this submission is over the top’ but am FED UP with single minded people sneaking ‘racism’ onto this site!
Keep to the job in hand. Helping to sort out these animal torturing and murdering bastards, or — simply KEEP OFF!!!

As told by another follower here on a previous similar post:
NO animal deserves to be a victim of DEHUMANIZED and DESENSITIZED sadistic psychopaths.
Crimes committed against animals are increasingly grotesque because the punishment for animal abuse is not severe enough, and in many cases does not exist.
A slap on the wrist is a MOCKERY of animal victims.
The fact that we have to keep asking these Prosecutors, District Attorneys, Attorney General’s, Governors for Justice is astounding to me.
Animal Cruelty is an epidemic and these public officials don’t give a F!
100times over I keep saying America has no laws for our fur babies it’s so sad cuz this evil will not stop till laws are enforced almost never is there more justice than a slap on the wrist so evil so wrong that poor lil babe
If Benjamin Wilkins is guilty he should get thrown off a cliff.
Benjamin Wilkins – he needs to face true justice and it needs to happen quickly! I think I’d get great satisfaction with beating him to death with a Karma bat (aka Louisville Slugger) and I bet a lot of other people would too. Anybody got an address for this evil SOB? Does he work anywhere – I’d like to call them and let them know what is in their employ.
If they were given the same treatment right back they would never get another animal!!! Justice world wide needs to grow a pair and start doing the right thing for these beautiful, INNOCENT souls!! Failure to do anything makes you just as guilty of the continued cruelty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The lady who rescued Rocky went above and beyond and did the right thing for Rocky. Now let’s hope the Judicial System does their part. Sentence this scumbag to the fullest extent possible. NO FOREGIVENESS for animal cruelty!!
I really DO NOT expect the so-called Judicial system will do sweet fuck all except give the bastard a tiny wrist slap if he actually gets prosecuted that is! These pricks are NOT human but excrement that needs disposing of. Just parasites on the planet who need removing— albeit very painfully!
J.W.
Hang the sick fuck that did this
The only punishment these animal abusing scumbags will understand is the EXACT SAME ABUSE DONE TO THEM!
Exactly.
It would be music to my ears to learn that this animal torturing bastard had received the very same treatment from an Animal Activist group as what the motherfuck did to this innocent dog!
And that would be— stomp the fuckers hips, and smash his ribs so that the turd then knows how much it hurts.
The world is over full of these arrogant sods who can only take their mental frustration out on something that cannot or will not fight back! Cowards— all of these ‘fucks’ who are most likely ‘popped’ up on some weed or other! These nasties need removing for the good of our world.
I just wish that I was near enough to have say fifteen minutes with this piece of absolute shit to see if he thought it funny!
Street Justice is urgently needed for these subhuman gutter shites!
J.W.
