Dog Reportedly Beaten, Choked, Left Emaciated: Demand Maximum Felony Penalties

Target: Noble D. Walker Jr., District Attorney, Hunt County, Texas

Goal: Seek maximum third‑degree felony punishment, consecutive terms, permanent animal‑ownership ban, restitution, counseling, and safe placement for a dog reportedly beaten, choked, and starved.

Officials reportedly received a video showing violent blows against a dog. Responders apparently found a frail victim with head trauma and severe weight loss. A tooth was reportedly knocked out by the blunt force and neck ligature marks indicated choking or restraint during abuse.

Investigators seized the injured dog for urgent treatment. Examiners described emaciation alongside visible trauma, and such findings suggest long neglect paired with acute violence. This has sparked outrage in the local community and outcry for justice.

Accountability must be sought in this horrific case. Sign below to demand prosecutors press every supported count, seek harsh terms and restitution to fund full veterinary care and rehabilitation, and suggest mandatory counseling and a lifetime ban on owning or handling animals to protect future victims.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear District Attorney Walker,

We are horrified by accounts of a dog reportedly struck, choked, and left gaunt. A video allegedly captured a violent attack. Responders then reportedly located a skeletal dog with blunt force injury, a knocked‑out tooth, and ligature impressions around its neck.

Such details portray deliberate suffering. Please pursue every supported felony count and request maximum confinement. Consecutive terms would reflect compounded harm. Restitution should cover emergency stabilization, imaging, medications, boarding, and behavioral recovery. We ask for firearm surrender where law allows and strict no‑contact protections for witnesses.

Safeguards must endure. Seek a permanent prohibition on owning, possessing, breeding, or working with animals. Order psychological evaluation with counseling aimed at preventing escalation. A firm outcome will deter copycats and protect vulnerable companions across Hunt County.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
