A Cobb County, Georgia woman named Ashley Marie Davis is being charged with two counts of aggravated cruelty to animals and two counts of abandonment of a domesticated animal after she left two dogs alone without food or water for sixteen days.
The two innocent victims of this horrendous crime are Lucky, an adult Boxer-mix who is deaf, and Simpson, an adult American Bulldog who is blind.
Lucky was placed in Davis’ home as a foster on November 11, 2017, when he was a healthy fifty pounds. After Lucky missed a vet appointment, the animal rescuers visited Davis’ house to find the poor starving dog in a crate in the rain. He was barely alive and was pure skin and bones. After this heartbreaking story went viral, the animal shelter who adopted out Simpson to Davis expressed their concern. When rescuers returned to the house, they found Simpson stumbling over in a similar emaciated condition as Lucky.
Thankfully, these precious pups survived, but the fight for justice for them is not over. A petition on Care2 is calling on animal lovers everywhere to demand that Davis is convicted of all her charges and receives the maximum punishment allowed by the law. If you are angered by the cruel acts of this individual, please take a moment to sign this petition, and please share this with your friends and encourage them to sign the petition as well.
Sadly, animal abuse and abandonment often goes overlooked and underpunished in society. If you ever suspect an animal is being abused in your community, do not hesitate to contact authorities to investigate matters. The end to animal cruelty begins with you!

More human scum this world does not need. Crap like this literally makes my blood boil.
These poor guts should be adopted out together, in a safe and loving home. And throw the bitch in the darkest hole of the prison you can find. Without food or water.
And many of us do get involved when we see animal abuse. What we NEED is the Authorities to take this CRIME seriously.
Abuse is not just dog-fighting – it includes starvation, and torture… It\’s not just "boys being boys". These are CRIMES.
This goes for cat abuse, too. The most under-reported animal abuse. Because it\’s "only a cat". NOT!
HELL AWAITS ASHLEY MARIE DAVIS NOW.
Starve the idiot—adopt the dogs.
Starve the idiot and rescue the poor dogs.
