JUSTICE FOR SHEPP


Shepp was a  dog that was left for well over a month to die ,No food No water and chained to the extent that the collar was embedded in his skin. .No one cared. While a whole neighborhood stood by and saw his  suffering ,No one did anything!!Until it was too late, Someone  had placed food by him, but by then  he was too weak to even get up. ( KZTV)Action 10 News..  A News station that stands up for people and animals alike
First responded to a call pertaining  To a dog near death , .Shep was taken to Corpus Christi Animal Care .(Sept 16 2008)  To where he was cared for by the vets and staff there ,  I know for a fact  .For i was able to see him from behind the glass Friday afternoon  The  .Vets and staff that were  there with him treated him with such compassion  and care .Shepp passed away later that afternoon ( Sept 19.2008). Which was devastating
 to the Vet and staff at Animal Care Services.

His will to live was there,He wagged his tail and even tried to lift his head. However his body couldn't take it ,Due to the extreme neglect he endured for a month .He left this life ,

what is needed is signatures on a petition started out for justice ,

In these cases of cruelty it is often difficult to catch and charge     .For one month.Shepp  had no food .little or no water , The indifference  that the neighbors displayed by allowing this to go one for a whole month They are as guilty as the two that left Shepp .  To suffer in such pain ,Not even giving Shepp any water or food.They looked on and did nothing,
There are many others  that are in dire need of help
It is appalling how far this went on .And it  usually never gets  prosecuted
Our VOICE ,can make all the difference .
Please take a moment ,As hard as it is please   view  the video .It tears  me apart. But  bear witness , We shall speak  out for those that cannot..

Thank you my dear friends And please REPOST  ( SHEPPS  )story  far and wide..That justice may prevail ,And to those who stood by and did nothing They   must be held accountable as well.
For the guilt lies heavy upon them.
 
Updated 2/24/09 There is no date for the trial as of yet .I will be closing this petition as soon as i find out the trial date .I have kept this petition open so Shepp death is not forgotten and that the law forgets him ,,I will present this to the DA so that they may see that the world has spoken .When we become silent they all forget  these creatures as yesterdays news ,I beg you do not let this happen .May you all remain blessed for being the light and voice for Shepp and countless others ,Thank you Annmarra
Bless you Shepp  .
I am at a loss to express the sorrow and anger i feel .
I only wonder why and how can people turn their heads and say its only an animal,,

Why can't people just let the animal go free to that he may have a fighting chance. I do not believe animals should be chained up.

This is one of the most horable crimes against an animal I have seen. I have dogs and love and respect them as they do me. All persons responsible should be held accountable to he maximum and in my eyes it is still not enough but will at least give justice for this horrible crime.

This is a cruel and intolerable act that should not be tolerated by any court. I hope there will be justice in this and all animal cruelty cases. It is so unnecessary and the person/people need to be held accountable or they will do it again and again. Thank you.

No-one should be allowed to mistreat any living creature and get away with it, ever! This was inhumane treatment, it is animal cruelty. If you don't prosecute, whose next? Shepp losing his life should have been enough to jail this person. Animal cruety should never be tolerated. Please seek justice for Shepp. He deserved better.

I hope and pray that Shepp's abusers will be brought to justice and every animal abuser will get theirs three fold, let the punishment fit the crime, do unto them as they have abused! More than likely if someone is abusing an animal they are abusing a child or a family member and in some cases these people are like the abused animals, they can not speak for themselves or are too scared to. If anyone knows of an abuser I beg of you Please report it!! You may be able to save a life, animal or human. I am speaking strictly from experience, I am a veterinarian technician and a survior of an abuser.
