A family in Seattle dropped their dog, a black labrador named Mitch, off at a local kennel one day, not expecting anything unusual to occur. But Mitch's stay at the kennel ended with an employee brutally kicking and punching him - to the point of
death.
Sign the petition to demand mental health services for the employee who assaulted Mitch the dog!Mitch apparently accidentally bumped into something in the early hours of the morning, knocking it over. That small incident precipitated an employee raging at the dog,
punching him and repeatedly kicking him - all while Mitch tried to take cover and hide. Surveillance video from inside the kennel facilities documented the abuse.
Even worse, the employee waited more than an hour to transport Mitch to an emergency veterinary clinic.
By that point, the dog was unresponsive. He was suffering from a
likely kidney rupture and internal bleeding. Even with veterinary staff giving Mitch CPR five times to try and revive him, nothing worked.
The black lab ultimately died from his injuries related to the abuse. Veterinary staff said it was possible he might have lived if he'd been brought in sooner.
This man is clearly in need of psychological assistance if all it took was a knocked-over item to trigger this level of violence. We must demand mandatory, intensive mental health services to ensure other animals and people are safe! Sign the petition!
