THIS IS A PETITION FOR NALA. NALA WAS A 7 YEAR OLD SHAR-PEI WHO GOT OUT OF HER OWNERS YARD ON 6/14/14. WHILE NALA WAS LOOSE SHE BIT SOMEONE OUT OF FEAR. THE POLICE WERE CALLED BY THIS PERSON TO HELP AID IN THE PROPER RETURN OF NALA TO HER HOME. NALA HAD A TAG WITH OWNERS INFORMATION ON HER COLLAR. INSTEAD 2 OFFICERS FROM THE "EMERGENCY SERVICE UNIT" ARRIVED ON THE SCENE. THEY RESTRAINED NALA WITH A "POLE" LEASH. OFFICER JEFFREY BOLGER THEN SLIT NALA'S THROAT. NALA PASSED AWAY BEFORE ANIMAL CONTROL ARRIVED, AND BEFORE ANYONE COULD HELP HER. THIS OFFICER IS NOW FACING 3 CHARGES, ONE BEING AGGRAVATED ANIMAL CRUELTY. FAR TOO OFTEN ANIMAL CRUELTY CASES SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS AND PEOPLE ARE ONLY PENALIZED WITH A FJNE. THIS CANNOT HAPPEN HERE, THIS MAN, THIS POLICE OFFICER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND BE SENTENCED WITH THE MAXIMUM PENALTY. PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION SO THAT WE CAN SHOW THE DA AND JUDGE THAT BALTIMORE MEANS BUSINESS AND WE DO NOT STAND FOR THIS IN OUR CITY!!!
