PETITION TARGET: Detroit Police Department
A young female pit bull mix was allegedly stabbed repeatedly by her guardian — who broadcast the attack on Facebook Live in Detroit, according to local news.
The individual in the video appears to admit to the stabbing while on camera, pointing the camera toward the blood-soaked dog.
“Why did you make me do this to you?” the suspect asks in the video. “Why did you make me do this to you?”
Fortunately, a resident who witnessed the livestream contacted Detroit Animal Care and Control, and officials quickly carried out a search warrant.
Three dogs and four cats were rescued, including the stabbed dog. The cats and two of the dogs were underweight — including a puppy who had recently been adopted. Photos of the rescued animals show that the puppy’s ribs were clearly visible beneath their skin. One cat also had a badly injured leg.
The wounded dog and cat both underwent intensive medical care after being rescued.
No charges have been reported at this time.
It’s heartbreaking that these animals experienced such senseless suffering, allegedly caused by the one who was entrusted to care for them. If the stabbed dog hadn’t been rescued when she was, it is possible she may have perished.
Sign our petition urging the Detroit Police Department to investigate this case thoroughly to locate those responsible and hold them accountable — before any other innocent animals are harmed.
