As an animal lover and advocate it hurts me deeply to see animals trapped in abusive situations with no way out or intervention. This story started back in 2021 yet no actions have been taken to ensure safety and justice for these animals ghosts and Pierce. Ghost ordeal began when a series of disturbing videos emerged online of horrifying acts of abuse the owner known by Emma Bass was seen hitting, choking, misusing training tools and screaming threats against ghost these actions are not only inhumane but illegal and they blatantly disregard the well being of these animals 

the abuse didn’t stop with ghost his son Pierce was also subjected to the same horrific treatment (seen in cover photo) there is evidence in the form of voice recordings, videos and photographs showing the owner Emma choking, hitting, misusing training tools, starving and keeping him locked in a crate all day/night without food or water the conditions these dogs live in are appalling and inhumane the silence surrounding this case in distressing 

animal abuse is a crime of the gravest nature affecting innocent lives that cannot speak up for themselves. It’s our moral duty to step up and advocate for animals who are being mistreated, just like ghost and Pierce imagine living in a constant state of fear and distress devoid of any compassion or care existing only for the owner’s enjoyment of causing harm 

the evidence is clear and alarming and it’s time the authorities take action to ensure safety and hold the owner responsible for the horrific actions occurring. These dogs deserve better they deserve a loving caring home where they will know no abuse or mistreatment 

I urge animal lovers and advocates and every person with compassion to stand up for these dogs and support this cause let’s make sure Ghost and Pierce are rescued from there current conditions and are placed in loving homes. Your signature could not only save one but two lives from cruelty and neglect 

please sign this petition to ensure the authorities promptly intervene secure the dogs and hold the abuser accountable

in this link you will find a video of her talking about her dog Pierce about how she keeps him locked in a kennel all day only letting him out to go outside stating that she does nothing with him at all. She goes on to explain how she misuses the prong (a commonly used training tool) to the point he’s trying to fight off the leash making him choke himself and start screaming she states “the only thing I can do is to smack him” she goes on to say she needs his ecollar (another commonly used training tool) on a 40 for him to listen that’s especially high for a adult dog but even worse that she’s doing it to a puppy
