Target: Tim R. Webster, District Attorney, 19th Judicial District of Oklahoma
Goal: Seek the maximum lawful sentence, lifetime animal-ownership ban, counseling, and restitution for the defendant who allegedly hurled a small puppy to the ground, injuring the animal’s leg.
Witnesses allege a small puppy suffered a violent attack when an adult threw the young dog onto the ground, leaving the animal with an injured leg. Authorities arrested a suspect who now faces a felony count of cruelty to animals. Bond was set, and the case is moving forward, according to local coverage. The puppy’s apparent pain and fear paint a disturbing picture of gratuitous violence against a defenseless companion animal.
Additional details from court documents describe a forceful slam that left the puppy hurt, prompting immediate law-enforcement response and a felony filing. If proven, this conduct reflects calculated harm rather than a fleeting lapse. Oklahoma law allows meaningful penalties for such cruelty, including incarceration and fines, which can be paired with prohibitions that prevent future access to animals.
Public safety and animal welfare demand strong action in cases like this. When cruelty is deliberate and severe, consequences should include the longest lawful sentence, a lifetime animal-ownership ban, tight no-contact terms with animals, mandated psychological counseling, and restitution for veterinary care. This petition urges prosecutors to pursue those outcomes to protect vulnerable animals and deter future abuse.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Webster,
We respectfully urge your office to seek the toughest lawful outcome in the felony animal-cruelty case arising from reports that a small puppy was hurled to the ground, leaving the animal with a leg injury. This act, if proven, represents targeted violence against a defenseless being and warrants decisive prosecutorial advocacy at charging and sentencing.
Please pursue a sentence that reflects the gravity of the alleged harm, including the maximum incarceration and fines permitted by law. We also ask that you request a lifetime prohibition on owning, keeping, or residing with animals, strict no-contact conditions, court-ordered counseling, and full restitution for veterinary treatment and related costs. These measures will both protect future animal victims and deter copycat offenses.
Thank you for your continued commitment to accountability in cases of reported animal abuse. A strong result here would send a clear message that cruelty will face serious consequences in this district.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
