Vicious Youths Terrorize Dog, Shoving Head Underwater While Laughing

Shreveport, Los Angeles – Late last week, vicious youths terrorized a dog, shoving her head under water in a drainage ditch, and throwing the hapless pooch through the air and into a pond. The horrible incident was captured on video and it is now being investigated by the Caddo Parish Animal Control.

We want these cruel kids to be found and punished! Please share this petition to help raise awareness of this crime, and add your name to let the authorities know that we CARE about cases of animal abuse!

This terrible incident allegedly took place in Shreveport, Louisiana. The vile footage was uploaded to Instagram on an account belonging to @blkbbydbo.

The footage is difficult to watch…the whimpering dog is callously carried to a watery drainage ditch and her head was plunged beneath the water while another laughing youth not only recorded the incident but cruelly told the person grasping the dog’s head to “hold it.” The footage continues after the dog is pulled from the water and runs away.

Once again, the dog is terrorized when two of the youths pick her up and hurl her into a muddy puddle.

This behavior is absolutely sickening and these people must be found and punished! The Shreveport Police have been notified, and the Caddo Parish Animal Control Agency is investigating. Please add your name to this petition and share it widely. These miscreants must be found and held accountable for their abhorrent behavior.

Video (warning, it is highly disturbing!) can be found on Facebook (Animal Hope and Wellness page) here.

Note: We are unaware of the dog’s current whereabouts. From the video it appears that she ran away, but this cannot be confirmed.
