Dog Reportedly Pummeled and Beaten Repeatedly by Owner Deserves Justice

Target: Monroe County, New York District Attorney Sandra Doorley

Goal: Give prison sentence to man who allegedly punched his dog repeatedly outside a veterinary clinic and do not allow him to continue having pets.

A black Labrador retriever, named Jetta, was reportedly punched over and over again by the owner outside of a veterinary clinic. Michael Maiorano is now facing animal cruelty charges for the crime. He needs to be given a prison sentence and have his dog taken away if he is found guilty of this unthinkable act.

Police were alerted to the alleged incident when workers at Mendon Village Animal Hospital called authorities to tell them that they saw Maiorano punch Jetta both outside the clinic and inside his car. According to the Lollypop Farm Vice President for Humane Law Enforcement, Reno Di Domenico, people who act out against their animals often do so more than once. Sign this petition to demand Maiorano get a tough legal sentence for this crime and to further insist that he no longer be legally allowed to keep pets if it is found he mistreated Jetta.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear District Attorney Doorley,

Michael Maiorano may be charged with animal cruelty for allegedly punching his dog, Jetta, many times outside of a veterinary clinic. It is important that he not only be put in prison but that he also no longer be allowed to be around animals if it is found he committed this crime, to better ensure other dogs will be safe.

Staff at the Mendon Village Animal Hospital called police after numerous people said they saw Maiorano repeatedly punch Jetta with a closed fist outside of the office and inside his vehicle. One of the main authorities involved in the investigation made a statement explaining that people who lash out against their pets usually display this type of anger toward the animal more than one time, indicating that Jetta could be in serious danger if the dog stays with Maiorano.

While Maiorano may receive a year in prison and be required to pay a $1,000 fine, it is not known what happened to Jetta after police learned about the alleged incident. For these reasons, I demand you seek a stringent legal sentence for Maiorano and that you also tell the courts that Jetta should be placed in the custody of local animal care officials if it is discovered he mistreated this innocent creature.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

    Why didn’t onlookers intervene? Why is this dog still with this piece of shit? So many questions! Death sentence is the only sure way to guarantee no repeat offence however this won’t happen so we can only hope that he gets the crap beaten out of him in prison

  2. No animals EVER for this POS!!!! Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law!!! He deserves prison time!!!!!!

  3. NOTHING WILL BE DONE. COPS COULD CARE LESS. SAD, SICK PEOPLE.

  4. I know that if the poor dog defended itself, he would have been euthanized! The victim always gets the bad deal. It’s the same if poor Jetta has to live with this jerk while he waits for his day in court. She is imprisoned by him.. please take this dog to a foster family NOW!

  5. Jail pls at least 10 years

    I can’t believe no one took Jetta away from this creep and what kind of law enforcement do we have to not have done something about this incident immediately. Get Jetta to a safe place – get the jerk who did this put in jail. And why don’t onlookers intervene when they see something like this? I guess the problem is that the law would protect the owner and not the pet and helpful citizens. We citizens need to start beating the abuse jerks up and not calling the law.

    • Frances Smith says:

      I agree. So many law enforcement officers just look the other way in cases of animal abuse. The bystanders should have had the guys to demand that Jetta be taken to a safe place. This dog no doubt has internal injuries. He could be dead. This is a disgrace and the vet clinic i s partially responsible.

    They Better JAIL this SCUMBAG! They better Heavily Fine this Scum too !!!
    People suck ! Poor pup

  8. Put the POS in jail.1 year us not enough. 3 years or more. Hope Jetta is somewhere safe. Never allow this POS near or have animals ever again. I hope he doesn’t have children either.

  9. Why wait for court date to remove this poor defenseless dog from this evil person? And great that the vet clinic called authorities but they also could have intervened and kept dog until police arrived.

  10. Why wasn’t this poor dog taken away from this monster?? This dog is in serious danger!!!!
    Someone needs to act now!!!

  11. Jane B. Todaro says:

    This guy should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and never allowed near an animal ever again!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IN THE NAME OF SAM HILL IS THE MATTER WITH SOME PEOPLE??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. The cruel abuser needs to receive the same beatings he inflicted, on a daily basis, for the rest of his life. After the beating he needs to be securely locked in a steel cage an put outside with no shelter, food or water. He is a menace to humans and animals alike. These punks don’t change and don’t want to. He must be removed from society NOW…IN MY OPINION

  13. Michael Bavaro says:

    DO THE SAME TO THIS MORN, THEN LOCK HIM UP FOR YEARS.

  14. Michael Bavaro says:

    THOSE WHO JUST WATCHED AND DID NOT STOP HIM DESERVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN HELL.

  15. Debra Goldstein Lustig says:

    PROSECUTE THIS SCUMBAG TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW AND HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF HIM

  16. I couldn’t just watch and do nothing, I would have stopped him from hitting that sweet dog. I have a lab 13 years old and I have a special place in my heart for them. This man deserves long prison -time, which we all know he won’t get

  17. Debra Broach says:

    IF HE IS FOUND GUILTY?

    What the HELL is wrong with these STUPID DAM LAWS? There were witnesses seeing him do it. This poor dog is in danger of being beaten because people wouldn’y try to help that poor animal. Why was this dog at the vet clinic to begin with, if this useless piece of crap was going to beat him right outside the clinic. He couldn’t even wait to get home to start his abuse. I am so sick of these dam abusers and there are MANY!! out there because of these useless, stupid dam laws that make no sense. I continuously EVERYDAY read these kind of stories and sign these petitions. Humanity has come to an all time low when it comes to animals. They don’t deserve this cruelty from no one. What could that sweet animal have done to make that evil piece of crap hit him. I would have accosted him if nothing more than to tell him I am alerting the authorities and snap a picture of him and his license plates. This will continue until the lawmakers with their stupid behinds make some decent laws to protect animals. I blame them as well for this ongoing problem that’s getting worse for these poor creatures. Tattoo animal abuser across his forehead and throw his ass in prison, after you let him feel some street justice (a gang of animal lovers kicking the crap out of him). NEVER!!!! allow him to own any animal again. LAWS ARE PATHETIC!

  18. The fucker needs to be convicted and given the maximum sentence! This poor sweet innocent pooch could be dead. Are humans next in line for him to hurt…or other pets and animals? Plus he needs a life long ban on owing pets and animals.
    Asswipe!
    Prayers sweet poochie!

    District Attorney Sandra Doorley, Animal Hospital workers witnessed Michael Maiorano physically abusing and punching his dog. However, there is no information that Michael Maiorano was charged with Animal Cruelty. The biggest concern here is that the Dog was not taken away from his owner. This is putting the life of this dog at risk of further bodily injury and or death.

    • Sandy Collier says:

      Agreed, the dog is the main concern. It was in front of a veterinary clinic, did they check the dog for injuries, keep the dog, leave it with the guy …… how is the dog and where is it? I really don’t like continuously signing these petitions but never knowing the outcome; if this does any good or help at all??

  20. This was done outside of Veterinary Clinic? I don’t know if it was on the busy street or what but why didn’t the vet or even people in the vet’s office call the cops on this asshole? That poor dog. People like this don’t deserve to have a loving animal and I hope that this jerk gets everything he deserves. Why would somebody hit their dog like that what a disgusting piece of shit
