Petition: Ban Owner After Frankie the Dog Was Found Severely Injured

Frankie, a one year old mastiff mix, was discovered tied to a cemetery gate in Yonkers, New York. He had been abandoned without food or water and was suffering from a massive infected wound around his neck. The injury was so severe that rescuers rushed him to an emergency veterinary hospital. Cases like this show why stronger protections for animals are urgently needed. Sign the petition now to demand lasting safeguards and accountability.

Veterinarians found a deep slice around Frankie’s neck measuring about 8.5 inches long and roughly 1.5 inches deep, cutting into muscle tissue. The wound had become badly infected and was filled with pus and drainage. Frankie was also emaciated, with his ribs clearly visible. A good Samaritan alerted authorities, and the dog underwent a two hour surgery to treat the injury.

The former owner has reportedly been arrested and charged with animal cruelty, abandonment, and injuring animals. Advocates say a permanent ban on animal ownership is essential to prevent future harm. Sign the petition now urging New York officials to impose a lifetime animal ownership ban.
