SIGN: Justice for Dog Shot So Severely His Leg Was Amputated
PETITION TARGET: New Haven State’s Attorney Patrick J. Griffin
A young German shepherd had to have his leg and shoulder amputated after being ruthlessly shot twice, allegedly by his owners, in Connecticut.
One bullet shattered the dog’s front leg and another round embedded in his shoulder, according to News 12 Connecticut. Due to his gruesome injuries, the dog — now named Thunda — had to undergo an amputation and receive around-the-clock care at a veterinary center, whose staff added his road to recovery will be long.
Police had received a call, allegedly from the dog’s owners, saying the injured animal appeared to have been hit by a car. An investigation involving surveillance footage and guns found in the people’s possession near the scene of the bloody incident led authorities to believe the callers, who deny they own Thunda, actually shot the dog, according to news reports.
Stranja Perrin, 28, and Anthony Singleton, 27, now face animal cruelty, firearm and child endangerment charges, according to media reports.
Intentional acts of brutality against animals must not be tolerated. Sign our petition demanding authorities treat this case with the severity it deserves, and call for a lifelong ban on having animals.
Anyone with information about the investigation is asked to call the Derby Police Department at 203-735-7811.
