We demand justice for K9 officer Zane who died because he was left in a hot car in Georgia for 10 hours by his handler.

The Issue

(Via CNN) "A police K-9 died Thursday evening after being left for hours inside his handler's patrol car. Zane, a 5-year-old bloodhound, was found dead at the handler's residence in Rockdale County, Georgia, according to Conyers Police Department spokeswoman Kim Lucas. The bloodhound worked as a tracking dog with the department for four years, three with his handler, Cpl. Jerahmy Williams. The Rockdale County Sheriff's Office responded to Williams' home Thursday and is conducting an investigation with the county district attorney's office. K-9 Zane was with the Conyers Police Department for 4 years. K-9 Zane was with the Conyers Police Department for 4 years. Williams came home from a 12-hour shift at work and went to sleep feeling ill, according to Lucas. When Williams was getting ready for work in the afternoon, he discovered Zane dead inside his SUV, which was parked in his driveway. The dog had been in the car about 10 hours, Lucas said."

We demand justice for K9 officer Zane who suffered a horrendous death because of his negligent handler. This is the epitome of animal abuse, and we want Jerahmy Williams to be held fully accountable. It has been a constant occurrence recently of police officers evading any form of punishment for their actions, thus the need for many petitions!
