A woman from Selma, Alabama has been booked and charged after police officers discovered to harshly malnourished dogs at her home.

As soon as the authorities received a tip about a possible animal neglect case, they proceeded to investigate. Police officers arrived at the house and were shocked to see a severely underweight dog chained outside – the dog’s ribs and hip bones were visible entirely.

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

Another dog, tied to a thick metal chain, was also discovered nearby. The dog was no longer alive by the time deputies arrived. A vet report later indicated that the pet had not been fed for an extended period of time.

Police discovered two containers in the yard – both of them were dry. One was tuned upside down, while the other one was full of leaves. No other source of water and food was visible anywhere close to the dogs.

The owner, 41-year-old Heather Lynn Bentley (pictured on the right) arrived at the house shortly after police officers had responded to the call. She was booked and charged on the spot. During police interviews, she stated the canines belonged to a friend that had left them in her care three months before. She says she regrets the outcome of her gross neglect and claimed she could not find the necessary time to feed them regularly. As you might notice, she had plenty of time to feed herself, however.

If she knew she was unable to look after the dogs, all she had to do is call a local animal rescue agency. Volunteers would have been more than happy to care for the dogs until their owner came back for them. Instead, she left these defenseless creatures to starve for weeks.

I started this petition because I want this heartless woman to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. There is absolutely no excuse for what she did and I am hoping to pursue the judge to impose a harsh jail term against Heather Lynn Bentley.

No mercy should be spared against the defendant, just like Ms. Bentley spared no mercy when she decided to leave her dogs without food and water for weeks.

Support the maximum penalty available by law by signing and sharing this petition now. Many thanks for the support.
