We are writing to ask that you prosecute Randall Treadway to the fullest extent of the law. Treadway allowed a canvas harness to become embedded in the body of his basset hound, Annie, causing the animal a great deal of pain and suffering. 

Treating an animal this way is not acceptable, and statistics show that people who abuse animals go on to abuse children and spouses. 

Please stand up for your community, Mr. Clark, and let it be known that the citizens of Washington County will not tolerate cruelty to another living creature, even those with four legs.

Thank you for your consideration, and for taking the time to consider our views on this matter.
