Target: Dario J. Broccolino, State’s Attorney for Howard County, Maryland

Goal: Punish the man who allegedly stabbed and disemboweled his dog, nearly leading to the dog’s death.

A dog was reportedly stabbed and disemboweled in a horrific case of animal cruelty. The suspect assaulted an acquaintance, police stated, and attacked his dog before fleeing the scene. Demand justice for this poor dog.

Howard County Police responded after they received reports of 24-year-old Omar Gertman allegedly stabbing and disemboweling his dog. Per witnesses, Gertman assaulted his acquaintance in a fit of rage and destroyed some items in his home before attacking his Yorkshire Terrier. Gertman then reportedly fled the scene. Police found Gertman hiding out in a neighboring hotel, reports stated, and he has been arrested. The dog, named Boo, reportedly suffered serious life-threatening injuries.

Miraculously, Boo survived and he has since been adopted. Gertman has been charged with one count of felony animal cruelty, multiple misdemeanor charges of second-degree assault, and malicious destruction of property greater than $1,000. Sign below to demand that Gertman receives the maximum penalty possible, if convicted.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear State’s Attorney Broccolino,

A dog suffered near-fatal injuries after he was allegedly stabbed. The suspect reportedly disemboweled the Yorkshire Terrier during a violent outburst in his home. We demand justice for this innocent dog.

Howard County police arrested Omar Gertman on charges of felony animal cruelty after he allegedly stabbed his dog, Boo. Gertman initially assaulted an acquaintance in his home, police stated, before destroying some property and then attacking Boo. Boo was reportedly disemboweled, and most did not expect him to survive. Thanks to a quick response by police and medical personnel, Boo did survive and has since been adopted by a new family. Gertman is being held without bail at the Howard County Detention Center and he will face his charges at a later date.

The person who nearly killed this poor dog is a danger to animals and must be punished. We demand that you seek the maximum penalty in this case.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
