Punish British couple that starved dog so badly it ate its own tail!

Motherwell, Scotland: A British couple that neglected their pet dog so badly it had to eat its own tail to survive has been found guilty. In spite of what they did, they only received a ridiculously light sentence. Please support my petition to overrule the judicial decision and help ensure true justice is served.

Angela Todd, 33, and Martin Randall, 31, failed to feed their Staffordshire bull terrier dog for weeks. The dog was so emaciated it ate its own tail in a desperate attempt to survive. By the time the dog was discovered by the authorities, it was too late for him to be saved. The poor animal had to be euthanized, to prevent additional suffering.

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

A court had found the couple guilty of failing to provide the necessary treatment for a chronic tail injury suffered by the dog. They were sentenced to 200 hours of community service and received a five-year ban on owning pets.

Following the decision, a group of angry people attacked the couple’s home in Craigneuk, near Motherwell, forcing the culprits to flee. Todd and Randall had their home windows smashed in several places by people who were outraged by what they had done.

A former Craigneuk community councilor, Christine McGeechan, described the case to a local newspaper:

It is just disgusting. That helpless dog deserves much more than this. All residents of the area were appalled. I was informed that the couple responsible for this had to move out due to the backlash they encountered. When I first heard about the case, I got in contact with some of the neighbours to ask them why no one had reported the dog’s condition to the authorities. I was told that no one had had seen the dog in months and thought they had given it away.

We, the undersigned, firmly believe that the sentence imposed against Angela Todd and Martin Randall is extremely lenient and no justice has been served in this matter. We hereto demand a retrial and hope for a much tougher sentence, which should be in accordance with all the suffering endured by this defenseless pet dog.
