"William Meek has been on the run from Sacramento Police for reportedly drowning a dog in the American River. The man has been apprehended by Reno police officers and has a posted $50,000 bail. The dog’s body was found floating along the river, his collar bound to a bowling ball and a rock. This man should be tried and sentenced to the full extent of the law for killing this dog in a horrific manner. Tell Chief of Police Steven Pitts to approve Meek’s extradition to Sacramento where justice can be served. Authorities found 12-year-old Zelda, a border collie mix, floating in the American River. She had a microchip and the owner, who lived in Sacramento, was notified of the incident. She told authorities that she had given Zelda over to Meek to be taken care of. The dog was supposed to be taken to the shelter for surrender, as she had bit someone, but Meek never fulfilled this promise. Instead, he took Zelda to the river, where he tied her leash to a bowling ball and rock, then allowed her to drown. A necropsy did confirm that Zelda was alive when she entered the water, and she suffered neck trauma from trying to get out of the water. Urge Chief of Police Steven Pitts to hand the dog over to Sacramento authorities so a jury can put this man away." source: forcechange.com
