Target: Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill
Goal: Thoroughly investigate the case of a dog that suffered severe injuries after reportedly being thrown out of one car and hit by another.
A three-year-old dog named Morti was reportedly thrown out of his owners’ moving vehicle and hit by another, causing his right leg to be amputated. He spent about three days in a Las Vegas desert, all while his leg was severely damaged. When animal control found him, his owners were alerted and they claimed to not want him. After his leg was amputated, he had to get another surgery to drain an infection from the surgery. He was eventually sent to a shelter to be euthanized, but thankfully he was rescued in time. His owners went uncharged, regardless of the apparent animal cruelty and neglect they displayed.
If it were not for Morti’s current foster parent Ashley Bean, he would be dead. Morti now resides with Bean and seven other dogs, and he is noticeably a friendly dog who gets along with the other dogs and Bean’s young son. Thanks to the Southern Nevada Animal Rescue League (SNARL), Morti was able to get proper veterinarian treatment, costing around $7,000. The damage Morti’s owners reportedly caused resulted in him nearly losing his life twice, not only because of the health repercussions he faced, but also because his home was taken from him.
Morti lost his leg, home and nearly his life. His owners seemingly neglected him and caused him a substantial amount of harm by throwing him out of their vehicle. Sign the petition below to urge the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to investigate this case thoroughly so that those thought responsible for harming Morti face justice.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Sheriff McMahill,
Morti was seemingly cruelly thrown out of his owners’ vehicle and hit by another car, causing his leg to be amputated and leaving him homeless. Luckily, animal control found him in time to save him, but under any other circumstance, he would have died. Ashley Bean saved him from the horrors of an animal shelter by fostering him, and if she hadn’t, he would have died through euthanasia. Morti’s life was threatened twice through the alleged actions of his owners and the individual who reportedly hit him; these individuals must be punished.
With your influence over the Las Vegas police department, I urge you to give Morti the justice he deserves. His life was put in danger because of the apparent decisions of others, and the proper charges need to be placed on the individuals who seemingly compromised his well-being. Please investigate Morti’s alleged perpetrators to discourage animal cruelty. I appreciate your attention to this message.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
