Chained Dog Dead for Four Days in North Carolina; Take Action!

On February 8, 2010 Dogs Deserve Better Rep Shari Strader got an anonymous tip about a dog dead on the end of a chain on Willow Road in Greensboro, North Carolina. The tip said the dog had been there dead for at least three days. No one even bothered to remove her.

Upon investigation, she first was unable to see the dog and thought her body had been removed. However, she went back and saw that the dog was indeed still there, dead, and chained to a doghouse. Patches of snow are still visible all around the area where the dog lays dead.

She called Animal Control of Guilford County, who came out and found the dead dog. When they questioned the homeowner of the property, the woman, allegedly the mother of the dog's 'caretaker,' was purported to have said "The dog's been dead for four days? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

She also claimed that her daughter had found the dog and was "nursing it back to health."

So let's put two and two together. You have a dog chained on your property that you or your family members were 'nursing back to health.' But it's been dead for four days and no one knows about it.

WHAT PART OF NURSING IT BACK TO HEALTH DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? So in the past four days NO ONE in your family even checked on this dog, certainly didn't attempt to provide her with food/water? How long had it been?

Animal Control took her to the shelter where they performed a procedure to examine her stomach contents. The result - empty. This dog was starved to death.

Three days after Shari's original call to Animal Control, they took the findings of the investigation to the magistrate and animal cruelty charges were filed against the guardian of this dog.  

Dog Guardian's Name: Kanisha Janette Logan
Arraigned Offenses for Case Number: 2010068630 CR
County: Guilford
Preliminary Court Date: 03/17/2010
Session: AM
Court Room: GB1B
Offense Code: Misdeameanor 6210, Statute 14-360 (A)

She has one misdemeanor charge against her for the death of this dog. The ironic part of this case is that Ms. Logan works AT A DAYCARE CENTER. Who in their right mind would want this person taking care of their child?

As dog lovers, and in consideration of the cruelty involved in chaining and subsequently not only starving this dog to death, but being so neglectful as to not even notice that she died, we want to push for NO DEAL for the abuser!

We want a jury to look at this poor dog, and push for the max penalty for a crime that really should be felony cruelty.

Prosecuting Kanisha Logan:

District Attorneys Office
Prosecutorial District 18

Doug Henderson
PO BOX 10769
Greensboro, NC. 27404
Phone: 336-412-7600
Fax: 336-412-7601

Please send him a VERY POLITE YET FIRM letter or e-mail, we suggest something along the lines of the below:


Dear DA Henderson,

Too often unreported or unpunished, crimes against animals are a hidden epidemic in this country. Animal victims of abuse and neglect cannot speak for themselves - so concerned citizens in the community and our legal system must speak up for them.

We would like to thank you for your diligence in the case against Kanisha J. Logan, a Greensboro, NC woman who allegedly allowed her tethered dog to starve to death. Our hopes are that you will recognize that your community expects and appreciates that animal cruelty be taken seriously by law enforcement and by prosecutors. 


We are requesting that you prosecute this vigorously and we recommend that she go before a jury of her peers so that the community in which she resides will know what she has done. In doing so, others in this community will know that such behavior and disregard for life will not be tolerated. By her willful negligence, this dog suffered an excruciating death by starvation, her blatant failure to provide this animal with even substandard care demonstrates the need to make an example of her by sentencing her to the maximum sentence.


We urge you to use the powers given to you to by the people of your community to deliver justice for this animal and not to offer any sort of plea agreement and by doing so, bringing to light the issue of animal cruelty and your intolerance of such behavior in Greensboro, NC.

Sincerely,

as you stand there filming it on a camera dude, what are you scared of getting rabies from going near it to cover it up or something?

But as for the sentence, WHAT THE FUCK? that's a bit over the top, she made the mistake of a lifetime when there is no education in feeding/caring for dogs?

THE DOG IS SLEEPING NOOBS

[loveallthingsanime]

This shit makes me sick.

I hate breathing the same air, walking on the same ground, being alive with these bitches.

Dont run into me in the dark if I find out anyone is doing something so stupid I will torture them in to the furthest extent, that they would wish they where never born.

No joke

I will be a sweet angle to those who are kind to animals, but hell to those who dont.

Watch out.
