Target: Victor Lynch, Chief of Police, Oak Grove, Kentucky
Goal: Identify and prosecute whoever chained a female Pit Bull mix to a massive concrete cinderblock beneath a bridge, leaving her unable to escape.
An adult female Pit Bull mix was discovered trapped beneath a rural bridge near the water’s edge. A heavy metal chain secured her to a massive concrete cinderblock, leaving her unable to climb back toward the roadway or escape the secluded area. By the time she was found, the dog was suffering from soft-tissue abrasions and dehydration.
Responding officers freed the dog and transferred her to the Christian County Animal Shelter. Shelter staff described her as gentle despite the ordeal she had endured. Investigators currently have no description of the person or vehicle involved, and the dog did not have a microchip that could immediately connect her to a previous owner.
No suspect has been identified. Police should pursue nearby surveillance footage, vehicle information, witness accounts, ownership records, veterinary histories, social media posts, and every credible public tip that could establish who possessed the dog before she was left beneath the bridge. Find whoever chained her to the cinderblock and pursue appropriate criminal charges.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Chief Lynch,
A female Pit Bull mix was found immobilized beneath a bridge, chained to a massive concrete cinderblock near the water. She could not climb back to the roadway or leave the isolated area and was suffering from abrasions and dehydration when rescuers reached her.
No suspect has been identified. Please ensure investigators pursue every available lead, including nearby surveillance recordings, witness information, vehicle sightings, veterinary records, previous ownership information, and tips from anyone who recognizes the dog.
Find the person who chained this defenseless animal beneath the bridge and left her unable to escape. If the evidence establishes animal abandonment, cruelty, or related offenses, pursue appropriate charges and meaningful penalties. This gentle dog survived; whoever placed her in such danger should be identified and held accountable under the law.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
