Forest suffered neglect and abuse for a long time. His leg was broken so badly that it was twisted backward and matted onto the middle of his back rendering it painful and useless. He was matted so badly that he could not use most of his good limbs. He had severe bladder stones left unattended, making it painful and hard to urinate. He had a dental disease that was so bad that it was a wonder he could eat at all. There was an inch of his own feces packed into his paw pads with nails that had grown approximately 2-3 inches long, which made it excruciating to walk.

Forest was admittedly put into a crate, barely fed and confined to a closed-off room while the family and two other pets went on with their lives.

This is one of the cruelest situations we have ever seen with a live animal. Not only did they break his body, they broke his spirit. He was so used to not being touched or loved that he would wince at human touch.

We tried our best but little Forest just could not sustain any longer and passed on. Our hearts are broken.

We need your support now more than ever with an upcoming court date to be sure that this little guy’s voice is heard loud and clear.

Your signature on this petition will let the court system know that you support the maximum penalties allowed by law to an animal abuser. Let everyone know that we will not forget little Forest, nor will we tolerate cruelty to animals!

 Thank you for your support.
