In 2022, local authorities conducted a raid on a Caucasian shepherd breeder near Las Vegas, USA. Nearly 300 dogs were rescued from two properties, living in conditions so horrific that almost 200 of them had to be euthanised.
The operator, Vasili Platunov, now faces felony animal cruelty charges. His operation was not just cruel, but also illegal, breeding Russian Caucasian Shepherds for sale as guard dogs.
However, Platunov has recently been re-arrested amid fears he was about to flee the United States. This case is not just about the rescue operation, but also about justice for the animals he abused.
We need your help now more than ever. The risk of inaction is too high. If we don't stand up against such individuals, more animals could suffer, and more perpetrators could escape justice.
Your signature will demand justice for the abused animals and that Vasili Platunov and his ex-wife be sentenced to the maximum penalty.
Your support will have a significant impact. It will not only send a clear message to those who exploit animals but also contribute to the prevention of such operations in the future.
Together, we can ensure justice is served and prevent future suffering of innocent animals.
