Justice for Abandoned Dogs in Adamana, AZ: Hold the Owners Accountable!

The Issue

I am writing this petition to seek justice for the 17 innocent dogs who were callously abandoned by their owners in Adamana, Arizona. This heart-wrenching incident resulted in 10 of these defenseless animals succumbing to malnutrition and a further 5 being shot by the Apache County Sheriff's Department. It is imperative that we take action against these owners and ensure they are never allowed to own another animal.

As a witness to this horrific event, I personally endured two weeks of agony as I watched these poor dogs suffer immensely. Despite my repeated calls to the Apache County Sheriff's Office (ACSO), their response was tragically delayed, leading to an escalation of the animals' suffering. Ultimately, ACSO resorted to shooting the remaining dogs due to their dire condition.

The abandonment and subsequent deaths of these innocent creatures highlight a severe case of animal cruelty that cannot go unpunished. We must come together as a community and demand justice for these voiceless victims.

Facts:
1. 10+ dogs were found abandoned in Adamana, Arizona.
2. The prolonged neglect resulted in 10 dogs dying from malnutrition.
3. In an attempt to alleviate further suffering, ACSO shot five emaciated dogs. instead of placing them in a shelter or capturing and humanely euthanizing them.  
4. Animal abandonment is considered a crime under Arizona Revised Statutes §11-1024.

We firmly believe that those responsible for such heinous acts should face legal consequences and be held accountable for their actions or lack thereof when it came to providing proper care for these animals.

By signing this petition, you are joining us in demanding justice on behalf of those innocent lives lost due to neglect and cruelty. We urge the Apache County District Attorney's Office to thoroughly investigate this case, gather evidence, and bring charges against the owners who abandoned these dogs.

Let us send a clear message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our community. Together, we can ensure that these individuals are never allowed to own another animal again.
