Demand jail time for owner that dragged dog behind SUV!

A cruel owner was caught on camera dragging his hunting dog behind an SUV type car for no apparent reason. The disturbing scene unfolded in the village of Barredo, in the Spanish province of Asturia. Luckily, the incident was captured by a witness and precious evidence has been therefore obtained against the perpetrator, Jose Garcia Rico.

Two animal rights groups – Adopastur and Adelante – immediately filed charges against the attacker and made intense efforts to rescue the puppy from Rico’s ownership. Their strives finally paid of. It was also discovered that it is not the first time Mr. Rico had been abusing animals – several neighbors reported him to the police for mistreating another pet, but the case was eventually dropped and no charges were filed.

Exclusive: Punish thugs that cut dog’s ears off and posed for photos!

Rico was spotted tying the hunting dog to the back of his car with a rope and driving like this for miles, as the helpless animal howled in distress. But the dog’s suffering did not impress the owner, who kept driving like nothing was wrong. At one point, the car reached a muddy, unpaved country road, but Rico did not bother to stop and marched on, with the dog tied to the back of the SUV.

The animal rights groups that made efforts to get custody of the neglected dog claim Rico acted with utter indifference and lacked even the most basic ounce humanity and decency, as he failed to show any remorse about his actions. According to local activists, the dog was kept in terrible conditions, locked up in a cage all day and only given some space when going hunting. This is certainly not the life a pet dog should have.

The trial of Jose Garcia Rico is due to commence soon. His lawyers are pushing for a minimum sentence, consisting of just a fine (the highest fine that can be imposed is $2, 800). Do not let this cruel individual escape with a slap on the wrist. Sign the petition and demand mandatory jail time against Jose Garcia Rico, in addition to a lifetime ban on owning animals. By his repeated offences, Mr. Rico has proven beyond doubt he is incapable of properly taking care of pets and should be therefore stripped of this right.

Demand real justice – sign and share the petition now!
