Merlin, a beautiful lab/boxer mix, was attacked by a law enforcement officer while connected to a lead in his own back yard!
We have established a facebook page as well as a change.org petition page to raise awareness to the abuse and cruelty Merlin has senselessly endured. We would like for you to "like" us on facebook, to view memories of Merlin and his road to recovery. We would also like for you to sign the petition for Merlin to help us get answers, and the truth about how Merlin was injured. Most importantly we want to spread the word to help stop animal abuse/cruelty caused by law enforcement officers.
Did you know that some law enforcement agencies consider it "standard procedure" to use a taser gun on animals. We personally feel shocking an animal in itself is inhumane, but the voltage rate on tasers for use on humans is set at a much higher voltage rate than the recommend voltage for safe animal use.
Merlin had a taser gun used on him and was left with the prong stuck in his skin, his eye had internal bleeding as well as suffered trauma and a puncture wound. Merlin has had several visits to the vet's office to and was referred to a specialist to repair the damage to his eye. We have already been informed he will never regain full vision in his damaged eye and there may be a possibility it will have to be removed. We are seeking for legal actions to be taken against the officer that committed this heinous act to this poor dog. If you would like to donate to the Justice for Merlin fund to help cover his medical bills as well as his legal funds, you may do so by clicking the donate button below. Any help is greatly appreciated and no amount is too small, every little bit helps. On behalf of Merlin and the family we would like to thank you for all of your help and support through this time.
