About this Petition Petition Letter

Sweet two year old American Bulldog and his playmate were lured into the yard of a neighbor in Elgin, SC. They were then trapped by a vehicle and used for target practice with a .38 gauge handgun.  These are real bullets that just destroy everything in it's path. His pitbull playmate was not as lucky.  He was shot and then thrown over the fence to die.  He had so many gun shot wounds that he had to be euthanized.  The owner of Titan ran into the yard and saved Titan or he would also be dead.  Titan is as sweet as can be, even with all his injuries, he just wants to give kisses.  He has a radius/ulna fracture, a right tibia fracture and lost several toes on his right rear leg.  According to the owner, the police were called and nothing was done to the neighbor.  We are outraged by this and have an investigator with the SPCA seeing what he can do to go after these people.  
Elgin, South Carolina seems to believe that shooting a beloved pet is ok.
We need to tell them THEY ARE WRONG. These people should be prosecuted to the fullest extent!!

TITAN & Friend

Greetings,

I am shocked, appalled, OUTRAGED and horrified that NOTHING is being done about the FAMILY PETS that were used for target practice in Elgin, SC. I was under the impression that Elgin was a great place to live. Obviously, I was wrong! I cannot believe that you have done NOTHING to stop this! The guilty party needs to pay for ALL vet bills for the recovery of TITAN and they also need to be FINED and jail time served!
You need to send a message that VIOLENCE of ANY KIND will NOT BE TOLERATED!
My understanding is that the 2 dogs were lured over to a neighbor's yard and then used for target practice with a .38 gauge handgun. Police were called and NOTHING was done to the guilty party. One of the animals had to be put down because his injuries were so severe!
NO WONDER there is so much violence in the world today. We allow people to do "whatever they choose to"... whether it is LEGAL, IMMORAL or not!
Studies show that people who abuse animals will soon get bored and move into abusing children. Is this what you want for your CITY?
Your city, county and state are going to get a very bad reputation because of this.
I demand that something be done about this!
I am going to spread the word about this to everyone I know. The world will be watching to see what you do. ALL EYES are upon Elgin, SC!!!
I anxiously await your immediate response!
Thank You,

[Your name]
