death Joe Ewing has deliberately or negligently bestowed upon the dog
who was in his charge. The dog, who we have come to refer to as
‘Daniel’, was locked in the back porch with no food, water, nor comfort
in sight. There were scratches all over the doors displaying his
desperate attempts at saving his own life. He was completely emaciated,
and experienced a long, lonely and painful death; dying curled up in a
dresser drawer. Witnesses at the scene describe several additional
signs of animal suffering and possible death, likely under Joe Ewing’s
care. The entire property was discovered inundated with dog, cat, and
mouse feces, including the locked attic where there appear to be
inaccessible areas. Since a Class D Felony only carries a 6 month to 3
year prison term with up to a $10,000 fine, we are pleading with with
the prosecution to please charge Joe Ewing to the full extent of the
law.*
Given the surprising frequency this is happening in our area, steeper penalties are really the only recourse these animals have.
Indiana state law prohibits the following:
1. Cruelty, abandonment, and neglect of animals.
2. Acts of torture and physical abuse of an animal are a crime in Indiana. IC 35-46-3-12.
3. Conducting, promoting, participating in, and attending an animal
fighting contest are crimes in Indiana. IC 35-46-3-8 through IC
35-46-3-10.
4. Neglect or abandonment of an animal is a crime in
Indiana. IC 35-46-3-7. A court may permanently confiscate animals that
are abused or neglected. IC 35-46-3-6.
PLEASE SIGN DANIEL’S PETITION TO ENCOURAGE PROSECUTION TO CHARGE JOE EWING TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW:
