Apparently
getting caught on video violently abusing your animals isn't enough to have them permanently rescued and rehomed.
That's exactly what is happening in an ongoing
Ohio case --
a man charged with animal abuse could simply pay a monthly fee to get his poor dog, Karma, back into his possession. This is extremely dangerous.
Sign now to demand that the Ohio Legislature change state law to prevent abusers like this man from ever being able to get their pets back after abusing them!The man was captured on video
brutally grabbing Karma by her scruff and slamming her into the pavement.But according to the court ruling, if he pays a monthly fee for her care while he is in custody,
the accused man could get his dog Karma back -- and who knows what he will do to her then.This raises massive questions not just about his specific case, but about Ohio law overall.
No one should be able to pay their way out of a penalty that could put an abused animal back in danger.It's time for the state of Ohio to pass stronger laws preventing pets from returning to abusive households. Merely paying a fee does nothing to indicate this man can responsibly own a pet without endangering them in the future again.
