What began as a casual visit allegedly turned into a violent nightmare. A man visiting a friend watched in horror as the friend pulled out a handgun, threatened his dog, and then fired multiple shots, killing the animal. The abuse did not stop there. The dog’s owner was allegedly forced at gunpoint to bury his beloved companion. This is not a normal conflict or a moment of anger. It is violent, dangerous behavior that puts animals and people at risk. Sign the petition now to demand action.
