Target: David Sandall, Temporary Chief Constable, Leicestershire, England
Goal: Find and help the dog punched, pinned down, and strangled at a playground, and pursue charges supported by the evidence.
A playground should never become the setting for an animal’s terror. A witness saw a woman repeatedly punch a dog near St Nicholas Circle, then pin the animal to the ground and choke the dog. The account raises an urgent question: where is this dog, and is emergency care needed?
The RSPCA has appealed for help identifying a woman shown in images connected with its inquiries. Inspector Lynn Serrano has expressed concern for the dog’s welfare. When found, the animal’s condition must be established through a veterinary assessment.
Every useful image or witness account could help locate an animal whose safety remains uncertain. Police and welfare investigators should coordinate their efforts, preserve available footage, and establish what happened. Sign this petition to demand an urgent search and an evidence-based case for prosecution if the alleged assault is substantiated.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Chief Constable Sandall,
Please make locating the dog seen being repeatedly punched near Nicholas Circle a priority. The sequence of repeated blows, forced restraint, and pressure around the throat describes a potentially grave emergency. An animal cannot explain what happened or ask investigators for protection; finding the dog is the essential first step toward both treatment and accountability.
We ask your officers to work with the RSPCA, interview the original witness, and secure relevant recordings before they become unavailable. Please establish who had custody of the dog and arrange an appropriate welfare assessment. Information identifying a person should be handled through official channels, with allegations tested against the evidence.
If the investigation establishes criminal cruelty, pursue the appropriate charges and provide prosecutors with the veterinary findings needed to seek a proportionate sentence and suitable animal ownership restrictions. Please give this case sustained attention and publish a responsible update when possible. Find the dog, secure the animal’s safety, and help bring any proven offender to justice.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
