Looks like Corpus Christi, TX and the sentencing Judge, Judge Martinez, don’t give a damn about dogs or animals and don’t take animal abuse very seriously. Wastes of human life, 44-year-old Daniel Luna and 45-year-old Norma Luna, who abandoned this once beautiful German Shepherd, Shepp, to suffer a cruel and painful fate, were charged with 4 counts of animal cruelty; not feeding Shepp properly, not providing sufficient water, providing no medical attention for the dog’s injuries, and allowing Shepp to be tied up at an unoccupied property, misdemeanor charges.
They could have faced jail time but good ole Judge Martinez, in a plea deal, sentenced them to one year probation and $900 in fines!!!
A year probation and a fine!! You’ve got to be kidding me!! This poor dog suffered in the sweltering heat for a month, little to no food and water, bone protruding, open sores, maggots and they got a year’s probation!! OMG!! Where the hell is the justice in that??

Look at these faces! These are the faces of heartless monsters who are getting away with killing, with torture. I am so angry and incensed that I can barely write! I am beginning to think they need to take the word “justice” out of the phrase justice system!
Take a moment to read Shepp’s story, to watch the video and if you still have dry eyes, I will be amazed! HERE
What Can You Do?
You can help in two ways, spread the word of this unbelievable injustice and contact the “powers that be” in Corpus Christi, TX and let them know what you think of their “justice.”

Please, get the word out and share this with everyone! This is not justice, I don’t think even qualifies as a slap on the wrist. This is beyond a joke! There needs to be an accounting and there needs to be changes in Corpus Christi because if this is the way they do things…. scary!

This is an interview with DDB’s Thayne and Mark Crider, about the Corpus Christi Chain Off and abuse of Shepp, a German Shepherd left to die at the end of a chain. Shepp deserved Better, and activists are standing against this kind of abuse nationwide.

I hope to all that's good that you are right, Dear AIR!!!
we can only hope
Obviously these stupid and godless individuals wouldn't be touched by the gift contained in the link below. They will answer for their cruelty. God help them if they meet me first.
I found hope and solace in the words and I am sure fellow critter lovers will also: <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=nRMxniy-eKoC&dq=%22God%27s+Covenant+with+Animals%22&printsec=frontcover&source=bn&hl=en&ei=8d5ISpfcHpKyNujpmJ8B&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">God's Covenant with Animals
I mourn these babies suffering while in this life but find joy in certainty of their reward in the next.
In my opinion … the USA Government or whoever is responsible … must take a closer eye on the judges. This is NOT the first time that these so-called judges (they are but scums!)let criminals free. What the hell is happening??? May the scum judge celled Martinez and the other 2 (just look at their faces – she is old enough to be his mother!) rot not just in hell but while they are still roaming in this earth!
May Shepp R.I.P.
Do keep me posted.
"Judge" Martinez=PERP himself!!!!!
Whatta POS!!!
So wrong,so very wrong.The judge is a disgrace and these two are vile disgusting,worthless pieces of crap.Poor Shep.Poor innocent baby suffering for so long.I am so heartbroken over this cruelty.
Oh poor, poor Shepp. What a horrible death! These disgusting, sick, devil on earth, scum need to be put on that island! I want the world to start their on vigilanty towards these individuals that walk away from such crulity with a smile on their face. Someone has to stop them and put them out of the animals and worlds misery! The courts and stupid ass judges like Martinez, can't seem to see the immense crulity in these sub humans!
Oh by the way, nice to see you are still with us wpsflyboy. Thank you for the link to that book.
Was I naive, to think these POSs would be punished! I recall this video, the beautiful abandoned SUFFERING Shep – and I can't bear to watch it again, BUT…We can't let these officials get away with this injustice. Sure, we can't change the sentence – but we CAn let this Jerk Judge know there are those of us, and many, who see the injustice in his light sentence. Ohhhh, what I would like to see done to him and the abusers. Sickening to imagine how that poor darling dog suffered, waiting, waiting, waiting for those POSs to come. I will mourn for Shep forever, but we have to write and call…who else will? No one. Thanks.
I just called city council and nice lady took down EVERYthing I said, and promised to deliver it to City Council and the Mayor. Please call, cause it seemed I was the only caller so far. The telephone contacts are above in orig. piece. Thanks. Lets speak for Shep.
Trust me, you're not the only one because I've been making some calls today myself! Thanks so much. We need to get a lot more people calling ,writing, emailing and getting the word on this travesty!!
D.
I have called and emailed EVERYONE listed here. I will be calling Martinez's office again as "they" were out to lunch earlier.
I continue to be thoroughly OUTRAGED, LIVID!
Comment accepter de regarder des images comme celles là, et rester sans réagir?
Quelle honte pour nous soi disants humains….
Il faut que justice soit faite…merci
the judge is no better than the two slime balls, what goes around comes around and i hope that they suffer a much worse fate
Now you see why I always wish terrible things , the justice system never gets it right , look at Vick and others . These two losers will never get to live it down in the area . Not a single brain between them
{{{{{Terry}}}}}
Come on , a bag of cocaine for personal use will get you up to 10 years , and animal abusers get days if anything , These should get years and Michael Vick should be executed in my books

I am writing to express my concern over the recent sentencing of Daniel and Norma Luna in the animal cruelty case against them.
This is not Mexico. This is the United States of America. I know we are close to the border but still, really? In the United States we are true dog lovers. We don't eat dogs. We don't run over dogs because they won't get out of the street, we slow down for them. We are a dog loving society that realizes the great gift of dog to man. Corpus Christi, Texas has let the entire dog loving nation down with it's sentencing of Daniel and Norma Luna. These people were so completely inhumane to their own pet, the lack of heart that does not exist in these people is unfathomable. The slap on the wrist punishment they received says "it's not really that big of a deal" , it says that "this is acceptable in Corpus Christi, Texas". It makes our already lacking community a worse place to live and be and I don't think Corpus Christi, Texas can afford much more of that. We need people to step up in this community to make it a more desirable place to live, not the opposite!
Disappointed,
Haley Winchester
These sickos must've really hated their dog! That's no excuse to abuse, let alone starve a dog! I'm sorry that Shepp has s*** for owners and, since my dad really likes German Sheppards to pieces, I wish I would be Shepp's owner; in fact, my dad and I would've gladly welcomed him into my family…
The 3 Pieces of SHIT namely: Judge Martinez, Daniel Luna and Norma Luna will, one day, receive the same treatment they did to our poor Shepp.
What is wrong with the U.S.A.??? How is it possible for heartless and stupid creatures to become judges???
God Almigthy.
May our Beloved Shepp Rest In Peace…
I am late in getting this – but OMG – these 2 shall rott in hell…….The US has become so lax on crime that it's mostly the animals that suffer.
They need stricter penalties on animal abuse (any abuse for that matter) and with luck we won't have these dad stories to read.
RIP sweet Shepp – you ar enow living the life a dog is entitled too. Fly with the angels dear baby
