"Turn Facebook Red, Stand Against Animal Abuse"

A dog is dead after being thrown out of a moving vehicle in Webster Parish on I-20. The animal was bound with tape and rope, and was thrown out of the vehicle and dragged while still alive. 

"The pictures on social media will-are very disturbing", said Executive Diretor, Jeff Dorson as he reponds that the injuries were brutal, and called it torture.

The Webster Parish Humane Association, who took custody of the animal and tried to save it, to no avail, is offering a 2,500 dollar award for information about the case, and Dorson says they’re considering an additional 750 dollars to help get people’s attention.

The dog, named faith by the Webster Parish Humane Association, was found with a collar on.

Dorson says it’s clearly Felony Animal Abuse, which comes with a hefty sentence for those found guilty. He also says he doesn’t know what behind the recent rash of animal abuse cases he’s seen, but he says when the criminal behind this particular incident is discovered, they’ll be pushing the local DA and judge for a harsh sentence.
 
"We have to create a deterrent that these people have to go to jail. No less than one year in jail; no more than 10 per count", Dorson concluded.
