Justice for Phantom Takes Another Step

Over 2,500 people have signed a petition asking that the case investigating the death of golden lab Phantom be reopened.

He was a pet. A pet that died alone, locked in a foreclosed apartment. No one has answered for the slow death of Phantom the golden lab and Lyn Gorka and 2,520 people want that to change. "They are demanding I do something with this; that this case gets reopened," said Gorka who is a local real estate agent and animal rights advocate and started an online petition for Phantom.

Justice for Phantom in Final Stretch

Justice for a two-year old lab that was abandoned and died last year gets closer as online petition heats up.

Euthanasia would have been better than the painful death this poor dog suffered. If you can't keep your dog, take it to a shelter, ask your animal control officer for help (some of them are very good at placing a nice local dog, if you ask), or try calling a pure breed rescue group (a list is available at Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue's web site).
