Dog With Artery Exposed By Six Pound Chain Deserves Justice [View all]

Animal Petitions.org
June 17, 2016


A South Carolina dog was reportedly found with a six-pound chain wrapped around her neck, causing her main artery to be exposed.

The one-year-old pit bull terrier, named Roxanne, was barely alive and her head was swollen beyond belief.

Veterinarians had to use bolt cutters to get the chain off, then Roxanne was rushed for emergency surgery where 95 percent of her neck was stitched up.

They stated that her entire neck was open and bleeding from the chain that was slowly choking her to death.

The veterinarians and rescue team that are assisting Roxanne with her fight to survive say that they have notified authorities of the horrific abuse.

So far, it would appear that this innocent dog's abuser is still at large.

Please sign this petition urging authorities to utilize all resources to find and prosecute this cruel abuser to the maximum extent.
