PETITION TARGET: Starr County District Attorney Gocha Allen Ramirez
Cane, a 2-year-old German Shepherd, was found in La Grulla, Texas, in a shocking state of neglect — emaciated, dehydrated, and chained, with a large open wound on his face that revealed bone and crawled with maggots and flies, according to local news.
Although he was rescued from the neglectful situation, he had likely been suffering for quite some time and was also battling liver and kidney problems. Less than a month later, Cane collapsed during his evening walk and tragically died.
The individual accused of this heartbreaking neglect has since been charged with cruelty to a non-livestock animal.
Cane’s short life was marked by suffering—left to rot on the end of a chain, severely neglected, and stripped of even the smallest measure of dignity.
Sign our petition urging the Starr County District Attorney to prosecute the individual responsible to the fullest extent of the law — including mandating intensive psychological intervention and a lifelong ban on having animals.

PETITION TARGET: Queens County District Attorney Melinda Katz
In a horrifying case of cruelty, a man who was dog-sitting in New York City allegedly kicked a pit bull repeatedly until the dog went still, then dragged his body along the pavement, doused him in oil, and set him on fire in the street, according to CBS News.
This innocent dog was entrusted to someone meant to care for him, but instead, was beaten, dragged, and set ablaze, as if his life were disposable.
The individual allegedly responsible for the dog’s suffering has been charged with multiple offenses—including aggravated animal cruelty, arson, and reckless endangerment—and could spend up to two years behind bars if convicted.
Such deliberate and severe torment must not be met with leniency, as it would send a dangerous message that animal abuse isn’t taken seriously and put more lives at risk.

PETITION TARGET: Florida State Attorney R.J. Larizza, 7th Judicial Court
In a horrifying case of neglect in Palatka, Florida, two decomposing, mutilated dogs covered in maggots were found dead, crammed into a single cage in an apartment utility closet, according to local news.
The canines, who had reportedly been deceased for a minimum of one month and starved to death, appeared to have tried to eat one another and their empty bowls in desperation.
Authorities also noted that one dog was so badly decomposed that their breed couldn’t be identified, and the living room and bedroom floors were littered with waste.
The woman allegedly responsible for causing the suffering of these defenseless dogs faces charges of animal cruelty and neglect.
Trapped in filth and left to rot, these innocent dogs died slow, excruciating deaths—without even their dignity spared.
Sign our petition urging Florida State Attorney R.J. Larizza to prosecute the individual responsible to the fullest extent of the law—including mandating intensive psychological intervention and a lifelong ban on having animals.
