Baltimore City State's Attorney Office, Police Department, Mayor Sheila
Dixon and The City Council:

Thank you for accepting my comments about the West Baltimore twin brothers,
17, accused of soaking a pit bull terrier named Phoenix in gasoline before
setting her afire. Police officer Syreeta Teel, who spotted the one-year-old
pup in the Sandtown Winchester neighborhood, heroically draped her
sweatshirt over Phoenix and pounded out the flames.

I am aware this 5/27/09 incident has drawn more public outcry than some
human victim crimes. Officials are concerned about misconstrued priorities.

With all due respect, they have missed the point: This case IS about humans.
It is about adolescents so desensitized to suffering, they will kill again.

I call upon police and prosecutors to fully investigate this calculated act
of violence. If the suspects are tied to a dogfighting ring, as Commissioner
Bealefeld has suggested due to puncture wounds seen on Phoenix, please
charge them under animal fighting laws as well as aggravated cruelty to
animals. I urge you to prosecute them as adults subject to felony cruelty
laws that carry up to three years in prison, a $5,000 fine, and mandatory
counseling. Both youths should be barred from contact with animals.

As you know, burns over 95% of the dog's swollen, charred body overwhelmed
her immune system. Still, Phoenix wagged her tail as her kidneys failed. She
was euthanized in loving hands, perhaps the only she'd ever known.

Phoenix "rose from the ashes" long enough to reveal where violence begins --
especially for young males who later commit brutal crimes against people.
Columbine shooter Eric Harris, 18, smashed mice with a crowbar and set them
on fire. Washington D.C. serial killer Lee Boyd Malvo killed stray cats with
a slingshot. As a teen, Jason Massey slaughtered 37 cats, 29 dogs and six
cows; at 20 he decapitated and disemboweled a girl, 13, and shot a boy, 14.

Lighting an animal on fire is a "particularly significant predictor of
violent and even homicidal behavior," says Dr. Randall Lockwood of ASPCA
Anti-Cruelty Initiatives and a frequent consultant for cruelty
investigators, law enforcers and mental health professionals.

In closing, I urge Mayor Dixon and the City Council to address violence at
its roots through: Creation of an animal abuse task force with citizen
representation; empowerment of animal control officers under the police
department; and prosecution in all animal abuse and fighting cases.

Thank you for punishing those responsible for the killing of Phoenix to the
fullest degree allowed by law. �

Sincerely,
