Target: W Coty Siegert, District Attorney of Robertson County, Texas
Goal: Pursue identification, prosecution, and maximum penalties for whoever is responsible for a dog found with a shattered jaw and catastrophic blast-style injuries.
A critically injured dog was found near a rural roadway, barely alive and suffering devastating wounds. Veterinary professionals indicated the animal’s jaw was shattered and there was a hole in the dog’s chest—trauma consistent with an explosive device. The injuries were so severe that euthanasia was the only humane option. This case points to a deliberate and exceptionally cruel act that must be treated as a top public-safety priority.
Reports describe injuries aligned with a firework or similar device, suggesting calculated cruelty rather than an accident. Details such as a shattered jaw and gaping chest wound underscore the level of suffering inflicted. Local authorities are investigating, and a nonprofit has offered a reward to help identify the person or people responsible.
Brutality of this kind is not only a grave offense against an animal; it raises alarms for the wider community. Individuals who torture animals often pose broader risks. Sign below to demand a thorough investigation, the swift identification of any suspect, filing of the most serious charges supported by the evidence, and—upon conviction—sentencing that includes jail time, mandated psychological evaluation, a lifetime ban on animal ownership, and restitution for veterinary and shelter costs.
PETITION LETTER:
District Attorney W Coty Siegert,
A dog was found barely clinging to life with a shattered jaw and a hole in its chest—injuries that veterinary professionals linked to an explosive-type device. The animal’s condition was so grievous that euthanasia was deemed the only humane outcome. This level of cruelty endangers both animals and our community.
We urge your office to prioritize this investigation, coordinate closely with law enforcement, and, once a suspect is identified, file the most serious charges the evidence supports. The suspected use of an explosive to maim an animal warrants vigorous prosecution to reflect the severity of the cruelty and to deter future offenses.
If a conviction is secured, we ask that you seek incarceration, mandatory psychological evaluation and counseling, a lifetime prohibition on owning or living with animals, and full restitution for veterinary, shelter, and investigative costs. A strong response will make clear that such atrocities will be met with the full force of the law.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
