Target: Joseph D. Early Jr., District Attorney for Worcester County, Massachusetts
Goal: Punish the man who allegedly buried a dog alive, leading to the dog’s death.
A dog suffered and later died when he was allegedly buried alive. The suspect reportedly buried the dog because he wasn’t getting along with his new kitten. Demand justice for this innocent dog.
“I got a message from him that Chico passed away last night. I said, what do you mean he passed away? How is that possible?” stated Kaylee Belanger, an acquaintance of the suspect. Belanger reportedly found the 18-year-old Shih Tzu buried alive in Richard Piquard’s backyard following the suspicious conversation. Chico was wrapped in a blanket beneath a pile of freshly laid dirt, Belanger stated, and hidden underneath a rock. Per veterinarians, Chico had internal injuries and dehydration from the prolonged exposure, and he had to be euthanized to ease his suffering.
Piquard was arrested and charged with one count of animal cruelty. Sign below and demand that he receives the maximum penalty possible, if convicted.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Early,
A dog was reportedly buried alive in a shocking case of animal cruelty. The dog suffered serious injuries that led to his death. We demand justice for this poor dog.
Wrapped in a blanket and covered in dirt, Chico was barely alive after he was reportedly rescued from Richard Piquard’s backyard. Per police, an acquaintance of Piquard found the 18-year-old Shih Tzu buried beneath freshly laid dirt and concealed by a large rock. Piquard had recently gotten a new kitten, the acquaintance stated, and Chico and the kitten were not getting along. Chico reportedly suffered from internal injuries and dehydration. He had to be euthanized to ease his suffering. Police arrested Piquard and charged him with one count of animal cruelty.
The person who caused this poor dog such suffering must be punished. We demand that you seek the maximum penalty in this case.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
