Midwest City’s Failure to Protect an Abused Dog
A few months ago, a neighbor shared a video showing a dog being abused by its owner. In the video, the owner appeared to pour hot water on the dog and strike it with a pole or stick.
The incident was reported to Midwest City Animal Control, but no action was taken. The neighbor also contacted the police and was told they would not send an officer because they “don’t handle that.”
Since then, several neighbors, including myself, have repeatedly called Midwest City Animal Control asking why nothing was done and why the dog wasn’t removed from the situation. None of us have received a return call.
I’m sharing this because I believe the public deserves to know how this case was handled. It’s deeply upsetting to see an apparent case of animal abuse reported with no clear follow-up or communication.
I still have the video and the address where this occurred. I’ll follow the group’s rules regarding posting them, but if it’s permitted, I’m willing to share the evidence so people can understand why so many of us are concerned. Please let me know if I’m allowed to post the video and address.
