Luling, Louisiana – A Louisiana woman is accused of committing a reprehensible act of cruelty that left an innocent puppy with severe injuries. According to the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office, on October 7, 51-year-old Tammy Veillon tethered a puppy to a car’s side mirror with a rope and started driving.

In a news release, the authorities recount the horrific incident:

At approximately 2:00 p.m. on October 7, 2024, deputies received a report about a gray vehicle dragging a dog down Bradwall Street in Luling. Upon arrival, deputies spoke to a witness who described the incident. The witness saw a gray vehicle driving on Bradwall Street towards River Road with a dog being dragged by a makeshift rope. The witness and a bystander got the driver’s attention, stopped the vehicle, freed the dog, and brought it to safety.

Against all odds, the puppy survived the dragging, but she suffered significant injuries over much of her body. Since the devastating incident, the puppy has undergone surgery for a deep knee laceration, and she is receiving laser treatments to help repair the abrasions that cover her body.

Veillon was arrested on a charge of aggravated animal cruelty (a felony) and booked into jail on a $100,000 bond.

This is an outrageously evil, monstrous, act of cruelty that left an innocent puppy with devastating injuries, extreme pain, and suffering she should never have been forced to endure. Please sign the petition today and help Animal Victory fight for justice.

WHY THIS PETITION MATTERS: 

We, the undersigned, demand that Tammy Veillon face the maximum sentence for her charge of aggravated animal cruelty, stemming from the October 7 incident that left an innocent puppy with severe, widespread injuries. Animal Victory and its supporters want this woman to be held accountable for her actions. Not only should Tammy Veillon spend time behind bars, but she must be prohibited from owning or living with animals in the future. 

Individuals are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law. Animal Victory relies upon the authorities and the court system to determine guilt or innocence.
