In a worst nightmare scenario for dog owners, authorities
have charged a New Jersey man with multiple counts of animal cruelty after they discovered several dogs in his care living in dangerous and violent conditions.
Under current law, there is nothing preventing this man from owning, possessing, or caring for other animals in the future. This cannot stand.
Sign now to demand the Union County Prosecutor's office ban this man from ever owning, possessing, or caring for an animal ever again!All animal abuse stories are hard to stomach, but the details of this case are particularly harrowing. When authorities arrived at the scene after reports of a dog fight in the yard, they found multiple dogs wearing shock collars and tied to short tethers in the yard, which none of the dog owners had approved of.
One dog lost 15 pounds after his owner dropped him off at the sitter's home. Two other dogs fought violently, until one ultimately mauled the other to death.Luckily, authorities rescued five dogs and one cat from the scene and are ensuring they receive care and return to their owners. But we cannot let an incident like this happen again.
The Union County Prosecutor's Office must include a lifetime ban on animal ownership and possession their sentencing! We cannot let any other animals suffer under this man's care!
