It’s just plain animal cruelty to have him locked up in confinement for so long without even seeing his owner! And what wasted resources for boarding and for the city legal fees when he was acting out of instinct from pain. Let that sweet boy go home!!
This dog should be released to go home, he was hit by a car and was in severe pain, not aggressive! The natural reaction for a dog in pain is to bite out of fear and self defense. A shelter should know this and advocate for the animal but I suppose that's not the case in this instance. It's deeply unsettling that a shelter, an organization meant to protect animals, is pushing to euthanize a dog who isn't aggressive, and has a loving home with a dedicated owner waiting for him. Major has spent over 500 days in a shelter without his family. Think about the toll it takes on a dog to be seperated from everything he knows for that long. Their owners are their whole life, and they are only a part of ours. How could you deprive an owner of the time they have with their dog, AND to try and shorten that time when they are trying to negotiate terms to get their dog back. Even going as far to say they will muzzle him and even professional trainers are offering to help! The victim in this case has stated that they do not believe the dog should be euthanized for this incident. That alone should dismiss this entire case! What is the matter with you people, imagine not being able to see your own dog for over 500 days and being told to euthanize them. Shame on all of you.<br>

FREE MAJOR!!!
I grew up riding horses and can’t imagine these incredible creatures losing their lives because of a man filled with so much greed and hate. Wild horses are a symbol of freedom. He is trying to strip every aspect of freedom from this nation. Protect our wildlife, get him out of office!!!!
I simply cannot understand how, in 2026, we are still keeping animals in captivity for our entertainment — and the moment they are no longer profitable, they are seemingly just left to fend for themselves. Out of sight, out of mind. How can this possibly be our standard of humanity?<br>
<br>
We humans have to finally start taking responsibility. Even when it is difficult, expensive or inconvenient. These animals did not choose their fate. They deserve for us to fight for them and give them a chance at a life with dignity.<br>
<br>
I sincerely hope that my signature can contribute, even in a small way, to making sure that Wiki and Keijo finally receive the help they desperately need. ❤️<br>
<br>
And yes — maybe saving them won’t be easy. Maybe it is uncertain whether they will survive. But simply leaving them to their fate could mean months or even years of suffering, loneliness and misery.<br>
<br>
The thought of that honestly breaks my heart.<br>
<br>
Please don’t look away. Not just because they are animals, but because we humans are responsible for what happens to them.
so many dogs and cats are left out stray. My heart breaks seeing kittens all over the place dead, sick , or being starved to death absolutely breaks my heart. You take a responsibility and don’t own to it and throw your animals out . It’s like throwing your kids out , starving them. The pain they go through they are just like humans with feelings . They feel like they aren’t worth or they don’t deserve anything . I care so much about this issue as well as other animals . They make the world better! And make it alive .
No animal deserves abuse, but I feel particularly strong about this situation because a possum was involved. I’m from Louisiana and they are a beloved animal to most in this state. They are not invasive and are helpful to the environment. Protect our wildlife and they will protect us.
I used to watch Rosscreations as a kid, its sad to see him basically encouraging children to harm animals. hold him accountable so he doesnt influence more people to cause harm
