Update: Arizona Dog Sexually Abused, Burned, and Mutilated—Chime In
With Prosecutor



An Arizona man has been indicted on felony charges stemming from the
reported discovery earlier this year of his horrifically abused dog,
Otis. You may wish to ask the prosecutor whose office will handle this
case to act with certain facts in mind.

One fact that Pima County Attorney Barbara LaWall might find
particularly relevant is that *a recent study
<http://www.psyeta.org/sa/sa10.1/fleming.shtml> found that 96 percent of
offenders who had engaged in bestiality also admitted to sexual assaults
on humans*.

The accused is Wayne Allen Dean, 38, of Three Points, Arizona. His
charges follow authorities' apparent February 8 discovery that Otis had
been burned, bitten, maimed, and sexually abused. Otis was evidently
found to be suffering from fresh and old cigarette burns, and his tail
had apparently been cut off. According to news sources
<http://www.pet-abuse.com/cases/7853/AZ/US/>, his left ear had a
human-inflicted bite wound on it. Otis was evidently euthanized in light
of his condition.

Please graciously remind LaWall that the safety of her community's human
and nonhuman residents alike may well be in her hands
<http://www.peta.org/mc/factsheet_display.asp?ID=132>. Respectfully ask
that—if Dean is convicted—LaWall's office work with the court to take
the following actions:

• Incarcerate Dean for as long as possible.
• Order him to undergo psychiatric evaluations and subsequent counseling
at his own expense.
• Bar him for life from all contact with animals.
