Target: James W. Glasgow, State’s Attorney for Will County, Illinois
Goal: Seek maximum lawful penalties, a long animal-ownership ban, and restitution after a dog was reportedly found emaciated with an embedded chain and infected wounds.
Officers reportedly discovered a caged Rottweiler mix named Luna with a chain collar embedded in her neck. Accounts describe an open wound alive with larvae and fly activity. Responders also reportedly observed visible ribs and hip bones, while no food or water sat within reach. Scenes like this suggest prolonged suffering and deep neglect that demands firm action.
According to police, Luna’s owner admitted knowing about the embedded chain for roughly two weeks and claimed a vet visit without proof. Statements further indicate Luna stayed outdoors due to a broken lead. Authorities say Luna was signed over for care. Veterinarians expect recovery, yet scars and pain apparently tell a harsher story that cannot be ignored.
Meaningful accountability protects animals and people. Strong sentencing with counseling, restitution for medical costs, and a lengthy ban on owning or living with animals can deter future harm. This case reportedly involved an embedded collar, infected tissue, and starvation-like weight loss. Such details warrant a prosecutorial push for the highest penalties allowed by law.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear State’s Attorney Glasgow,
Officers reportedly found Luna, a Rottweiler mix, caged and emaciated, with an embedded chain collar that left an open, infected wound described as hosting live larvae. Responders also allegedly saw no food or water within reach.
Reports further state the owner acknowledged knowing about the embedded chain for weeks and claimed a vet visit without documentation. Luna was kept outside due to a broken lead, according to statements. These circumstances suggest sustained neglect and severe suffering.
Please pursue maximum lawful penalties upon conviction, including restitution for Luna’s veterinary care, mandated counseling, and a long prohibition on owning or residing with animals. Conditions that include compliance checks and rapid consequences for violations would add real protection. Justice for Luna requires a sentence that reflects the gravity of what was reportedly done.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
