For nearly 25 years, neighbors in an Ohio town raised alarms about the "dog breeder" who lived next door. They alleged he severely abused countless Dobermans by yelling at, hitting, kicking, and throwing them. Although the neighbors reported the abuse over and over again, nothing changed – until now. Authorities recently raided his property and discovered 80 Dobermans living in horrific conditions. Six puppies were already dead.
He was finally arrested and charged with animal cruelty to companion animals, but this isn't justice – this is long-overdue.
Sign the petition to demand that this man receive a permanent ban on animal ownership!
In addition to the deceased puppies, the rest of the dogs were found suffering, stacked in filthy cages, sick with viruses.
For more than two decades, authorities were warned about this man abusing and starving his dogs down to skin and bones. Records show this man had dozens of prior violations. And yet, he continued operating as a dog breeder. He caused decades of irreparable harm to countless animals. We can't let this happen again.
While the man was arrested and given an animal ownership ban, this happened far too late. Every day the system let this continue was another day of suffering. It's time we protect animals – not the people who hurt them. Sign the petition if you agree!
