Michael Gerchy has been charged with animal abuse for maliciously beating his one-eyed Staffordshire terrier Stitch. Gerchy can be seen in a recording repeatedly kicking Stitch, throwing and choking him. A witness reported that Stitch suffered from internal injuries for a week after the beating. 
This video has gone viral and has caught worldwide attention. 
 A second video was released of Gerchy smacking his then 6 month old Cane Corso Thor in the face and body with a slipper. 
Michael Gerchy needs to have Stitch and Thor removed from his care immediately and permanently. The decision as to who gets Stitch and Thor should not be a decision Michael Gerchy is allowed to make. Please speak up for Stitch and Thor so they may finally have a life free of abuse. 
Aiming for at least 1000 signatures by April 24, 2026.
