Saving Marley from a Deadly Misjudgment

Dog lovers at the moment would love to know why is it that responsible people like judges start ignoring facts and rush things in a crazy direction while a canine’s life is at stake. Look at the latest case of a dog named Marley who’s at the mercy of a municipal court in San Antonio, Texas. A Labrador mix, Marley was one of the three dogs involved in a scene of dog attack that left a 10-year-old girl injured last month. All three dogs were declared dangerous and ordered to be put to death.

After the other two were killed by the authorities, evidence surfaced that Marley was not a dangerous dog; instead, he was a friendly dog and came to the little girl’s defense, as the girl herself and other witnesses admitted. While the earlier ruling was based on the girl’s statement when she was in shock, in the recent ruling by the municipal court, the girl’s new statement was entirely ignored as were testimonies from other witnesses.

The facebook page for Marley seeks justice now; justice that was not served in the recent ruling, maybe because the concerned judge just doesn’t consider canine life important enough. But caring people do. Marley, as per evidence, is innocent and upholding the death sentence against him has been called “ridiculous” by people who know about the case. Let’s ask for real justice then for Marley—that he be released and in fact rewarded for coming to the girl’s defense.

Please sign the online petition to help Marley escape death that is being imposed on him out of a first impression that was wrong, and is wrong.

Thank you!
