Imagine The Suffering This Poor Baby Went Through!!!

Last year Dwayne Sumter was charged with animal cruelty for his crime against Little Pit Girl. I know many of you remember this case it was heartbreaking. She was found dead in a suit case, she had been left in a garage in a crate with no food or water. She chewed herself out of the crate and then later died. She laid herself down in the suit case and that is where she died. Our District Attorney’s office filed animal cruelty charges against Dwayne Sumter and there is a warrant out for his arrest. Shortly after this crime Sumter was moved to Ft. Hood so at this point the warrant remains open and he cannot be put through the court system as he is out of the reach.
Now we have Franklyn J. Zimmerman Jr., who adopted two dogs from Pet Guardian Angel and allegedly killed one of them by stomping her to death and broke the other dog’s leg in three places. The names of these victims are Tinkerbelle and Wrigley. Below is the story in case you had not heard about it.
Tonight Monica Balderrama of KFOX Channel 14 is doing a follow up story on both of these cases at 9pm. I know many of you are angered and disgusted with these crimes. I feel the Army owes this community a FULL OUT STATEMENT on how these soldiers are being prosecuted or disciplined by the Army. To this day we have never had an official statement from the Army on what if any disciplinary action they took against Dwayne Sumter for his alleged crime against the dog in his care. We have a large animal rescue community and your donation dollars support all the work that we do in this community we all have the right to know what will happen to these soldiers. Is there a serious problem with animal abuse at Fort Bliss ? How will they address this issue? I have asked them to give me in WRITING what the Army’s disciplinary action was against Dwayne Sumter and also for Zimmerman. What can we expect from the Army? Honesty? Ethical responsibility to our community?
If you would like to contact the Army’s Public Relations Office with a letter and your own questions I will give you Jean Offutt and her email
Jean.offutt@us.army.mil she can be reached at 568-4505. Please take the time to email or call her today!!!
ANIMAL CRUELTY IS A CRIME IN THE STATE OF TEXAS . THERE ARE NO EXCUSES for a crime like this!
NONE!
