Porter, a 6-year-old cocker spaniel, was in the yard of his family's Minnesota home, when someone
shot him with a BB gun through the fence. Sarah and Chris Docken, the dog's owners, were able to get him to the veterinarian, but he didn't make it. Porter
died from the gunshot wound.
Please sign this petition urging Plymouth police to do everything they can to find whoever did this to Porter and deliver swift justice.Animal abuse is not something to be taken lightly. According to HSUS, numerous studies show a link between animal abuse and violent behavior towards other humans. A 2001-2004 study by the Chicago Police Department showed that 65% of those arrested for animal abuse had been arrested for battery against another person. When examining seven school shootings that took place across the country between 1997 and 2001, another study showed that all involved boys who had previously committed acts of animal cruelty.
The person who did this must be identified and caught immediately. Please sign this petition urging the Plymouth Police Department to find the abuser and deliver justice for Porter!
