her stomach and had a broken leg.
Shutting her out was a blessing for Diamond because Animal Control came to pick
her up and thus remove her from "hell." They provided the medical care she needed
as well as shelter in a warm kennel. They also lavished her with the love and affection
she had been denied by her brutal abuser.
Thankfully, Weatherspoon may also soon be getting what he deserves. With a criminal
history (surprise?), he was charged with one count of aggravated cruelty to animals. And
per the district attorney, he will likely pay every penny of Diamond's vet bills.
The people of Denver, veterinarians, and activists around the country were appalled
by this animal cruelty. "Prayers for Diamond," a support group on Facebook with
nearly 6,000 members, sent over 8,000 petition signatures to the district attorney.
They asked for the maximum sentence be given to Weatherspoon.
