Dog Reportedly Subjected to Bone-Breaking Beatings and Denied Medical Care Deserves Justice

Target: Christopher F. Allred, Weber County Attorney, Utah

Goal: Charge woman who reportedly denied injured dog medical care to the fullest extent of the law.

A dog that was reported missing from a Utah Humane Society shelter was allegedly found in a woman’s home abused, infected, and denied medical care. Three living cats and one deceased cat were also removed from the home, according to police reports. Demand that the woman allegedly responsible for this abuse, Victoria Dudnik, be charged to the fullest extent of the law.

A veterinarian determined that the dog was suffering from four broken legs, a broken jaw, broken ribs, and a fractured skull, among other injuries. Police said the dog could not stand on its own and smelled of “infection.” The number of injuries and the progress of their healing indicate, according to the vet, frequent beatings and torture. While undergoing an operation, the dog flatlined twice but has thankfully survived his ordeal.

Dudnik told authorities that the dog had been hit by a car and that she lacked the money to care for the animal; however, she allegedly did not deny hitting the pet when he had accidents in the house. She has since been charged with animal abuse. Sign the petition to demand that, if found guilty, she be charged to the fullest extent the law will allow to ensure no other innocent animals suffer a similar fate.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Attorney Allred,

A dog was reportedly found in the home of Victoria Dudnik suffering from four broken legs, a broken jaw, broken ribs, and a fractured skull. According to police and veterinarians, the wounds were left untreated and became so infected the dog could barely move. While in a life-saving operation, he flatlined twice. Thankfully, he has survived his ordeal.

Dudnik must be charged to the fullest extent the law will allow if she is found guilty. This alleged abuse must not be allowed to continue.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
