We are asking EVERYONE, nationwide, to call the courtroom and politely request that the judge do everything in his power to hold the defendants accountable for abusing and using dogs for dog fighting. If convicted of all charges, Winbush, 52, and Williams, 50, face a possible maximum sentence of 13 years each in state prison. Please ask the judge to give them the MAXIMUM sentence.
Sadly, many times, little to no punishment happens to animal abusers, so we need to let the people deciding punishments know we are watching and that slaps on the wrist for heinous acts of violence will not be tolerated.
And for those of you who think dogfighting doesn’t effect you, isn’t your problem, only happens in the inner city or in the deep back woods…time to WAKE UP. This is happening everywhere and it’s EVERYONE’S problem.
