Michigan Juveniles Force Puppy on Train Tracks to Die

 

Several juveniles, ages 9 to 13, allegedly removed

Sadie from her fenced-in backyard on May 9, 2001, and

forced her onto the local train tracks as an oncoming

train approached. Cindy Stiles, Sadie's guardian,

began searching with friends and neighbors after the

German shepherd puppy vanished from her yard. Sadie's

body, cut in two, was found later that day. The

perpetrators are believed to have tied Sadie to the

tracks. At this time, the case is still under

investigation. PETA's recent contact with the

detective in charge of the investigation, however,

leads us to believe that the case is not being taken

seriously.

 

Please send polite letters to the prosecutor handling

this case, urging him to vigorously pursue this

matter. Ask that, should the boys be convicted of this

crime, they undergo psychological counseling, that the

welfare of any animals currently at their homes be

secured immediately, and that they be prohibited

from owning animals in the future. Urge that they be

made to participate in a humane education program

where they will learn to respect animals. Write to:

 

The Honorable Douglas Baker

Please also encourage the Ecorse police chief to take

animal cruelty seriously. Remind him that cruelty to

animals is a red flag. People who abuse animals rarely

do it only once and almost always go on to abuse

people. For the sake of the community and its animals,

contact:

 

Chief Robert Royals

Ecorse Police Department

3869 W. Jefferson Ave.

Ecorse, MI 48229

Fax: 313-294-0173

 

Sadly, gruesome crimes such as this illustrate why it

is imperative for companion animal guardians never to

allow animals outdoors without supervision. Please

keep

animals safe indoors.
