When a
sweet dog was brought into a vet appointment in North Carolina recently, it became quickly clear that something was seriously wrong.
The
poor thing was bleeding from the mouth and had two teeth knocked or violently pulled out. It also had brutally swollen gums and
hemorrhaging eyes, and extensive bruising throughout its thin body. The pup was in such poor health, in fact, that it had to be
rushed into surgery.None of these injuries were consistent with the claims made by the man who brought the pup in -- a trainer that purported it was all from a normal training session. So what really happened to this innocent dog during K9 training?
And how do we make sure this never happens again?Sign now to tell Craven County authorities to ban this man from ever working with or owning animals ever again!The reality is simple:
no dog training should ever involve violence or abuse, especially to the level that this dog suffered. What this man did cannot even be considered training -- it was an attack on an innocent animal by the very person entrusted to help it.
The poor family who are mourning this brutal abuse of their beloved pet must be heartbroken.Thankfully, the trainer has been arrested and charged with felony animal cruelty. But he has already posted bond, and what happens from here will determine the fate of many more animals.
Authorities must ensure that whatever dog training business he was operating is shut down immediately, and prosecutors must suggest a
lifetime ban on animal ownership as part of his sentencing. This "dog trainer" has no idea how to train or treat a dog, so we must use our voice to make sure he never gets near one again. Sign the petition if you agree!
