PETITION TARGET: Shasta County District Attorney Stephanie A. Bridgett
Just one day after being adopted, an innocent puppy in Redding, California, was allegedly killed by the very person who was supposed to provide them with love and care, according to local news.
The man accused of killing the puppy reportedly posted a chilling video to social media which appeared to show him kicking the Golden Retriever puppy’s corpse. When officers arrived on the scene, they found the tiny animal’s lifeless body on the floor in the kitchen, with no hope of revival.
The man has since been charged with one count of felony animal cruelty.
This tiny, defenseless puppy should have been cherished and protected — not subjected to senseless violence. We must send a strong message that this apparent disregard for a conscious, sensitive being’s life will not be tolerated.
Sign our petition urging the Shasta County District Attorney to prosecute this man to the fullest extent of the law — including mandating intensive psychological intervention and a lifelong ban on having animals.
