Target: Shawn R. Eatherton, Attorney for Buffalo County, Nebraska
Goal: Support animal cruelty conviction that carries upwards of a three-year prison sentence.
Calls for justice mounted after a Nebraska dog lost her life in a brutal fashion at the hands of her caretaker. This ForceChange petition called attention to the horrid act of animal cruelty. Now this innocent animal has finally received needed justice.
The suspect in the case, Khaleem Baringer, viciously pummeled his pet dog Mary Jane with a baseball bat because she defecated on the floor. When the defenseless animal ran away to hide in a bathtub, Baringer followed her into the bathroom and continued hitting his dog. Even after the savage assault, this dog still managed to survive….until the suspect returned to the room a third time, grabbed the frightened animal, and then stabbed her to death. Police later found Mary Jane buried, with a broken skull.
Baringer has been convicted of felony animal cruelty and now faces up to three years of prison time. Sign the petition below to support justice being delivered in this sick incident.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mr. Eatherton,
The case of Khaleem Baringer disturbed your community and animal lovers country-wide. The very idea that a dog could be mercilessly killed with a baseball bat and a knife, all for the “crime” of relieving herself on the floor, truly shocks the conscience. With his conviction, we have renewed confidence that Mr. Baringer will face the full measure of punishment at his upcoming sentencing.
Thank you for ensuring justice is served for this innocent animal and for your vigilance in prosecuting such horrific acts of cruelty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

I am glad this poor dog will get justice however this guy needs more than three years in jail. I believe in an eye for an eye so beat him with a bat & stab him several times, but don’t kill him. Let him suffer like the poor dog suffered. What a disgraceful human being he is.
Agreed. What a monster will be released back into the community after 3 years.
Agree totally with Laurie. 3 years is not enough for that monster. And the real justice for this poor dog is an eye for an eye. Khaleem Baringer deserves to suffer and at the end be buried alive in dog poop…
Death must be performed on this vile dog murdering scumbag.A slow and agonising death is essential. A fine or prison sentence is not appropriate. I am ready, willing and able to help perform this essential death penalty!
Seriously, they should make it legal to do to a person what they do to an animal. I bet that would solve the problem of these repulsive pieces if garbage pretty quick.
This sick monster must get the max penalty and banned from ever owning a pet or be near any animal!!!
This piece of shit needs to have his head bashed in just like he did his dog. Jail is to good for this ass hole, we just have to take care of him.
Please make certain this individual suffers like this poor dog did. What a piece of crap. Doesn’t deserve to breathe or use up the oxygen in the air. He should have done to him what he did to that innocent dog.
He needs to be incarcerated. He is a threat to society.
3 years in prison is not enough penalty for this monster. He also must never be allowed to obtain or be around an animal ever again, and never be allowed to own a firearm.
I hope this scum gets what he deserves in prison, and that is pain, pain, pain before he goes to hell!
The neglect , abuse and killing of helpless pets needs to stop
A 30 year sentence would be a great start. 3 is not nearly enough. But a fair sentence involves the death penalty.
Throw this sadistic bastard in jail – and keep him there. He is dangerous.
3 years? Not long enough. Make sure he is savagely beaten while in there. BAN him from ever purchasing, owning, caring for or working with any animals ever again.
Finally a case that an innocent dog got justice!! More cases like these need to happen instead of the law turning a blind eye and ignoring the pain of these precious souls. We can’t help all but we MUST help those that we are aware of. I want the laws in the USA to change in all 50 states to make abuse, torture, and murder of innocent animals a FELONY!!
Justice for this dangerous maniac can’t come soon enough. Watching and waiting to see that this scumbag gets full-sentencing – 3 years at least!
An eye for an eye is the only just solution. This guy deserves DEATH!
If you DO NOT like dog hair, DO NOT get a dog! … if you cannot tolerate dog shit, DO NOT GET A DOG! HANG THIS POS! PEEL HIS SKIN OFF … CUT OFF HIS BALLS! … MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF THIS WASTE OF OXYGEN! …. LET STREET JUSTICE PREVAIL!
Three years is nowhere even near enough time for this vicious maniac.
IAGREE WITH MY FELLOW ANIMAL SUPPORTERS 3 YEARS IS NOTHING HOW ABOUT LIFE !!!! HOW CRUEL AND INHUMANE TO DO THIS HORRIFIC ACT 😪🐶. MARY JANE WILL LIVE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER❤🐶. A FURRY ANGEL FROM ABOVE!.
THESE PIECES OF GARBAGE THAT LIVE AMONG US SOMEWHAT NORMAL PEOPLE,….AND THIS ONE ESPECIALLY,…..NEEDS TO BE EUTHANIZED FROM THIS EARTH. THIS IS A MONSTER. AN OUT OF CONTROL MONSTER. AND THIS PIECE OF SHIT NEEDS TO BE LOCKED UP FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE,….PUT THIS MANIAC IN JAIL AND THROW AWAY THE KEY. I DEMAND THIS MONSTER BE……PUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. AND RID OUR SOCIETY OF THESE HIDING COWARD MONSTERS
This really makes me so sad, the way this poor dog suffered. I can’t imagine how afraid this innocent dog must’ve been at those moments. We need to have a list of animal abusers like this person that killed this dog. He should never get any animal when he’s out of jail. Karma will get him.
