Talladega County, Alabama – In Talladega County, Alabama, a man is accused of starving, abusing, and killing dogs and he admits to most of the atrocities on video. Shockingly, the man is a so-called trainer with Sentinel K9 Services, a business in Alpine that has recently scrubbed its internet presence, eliminating social media accounts and its website.
On video, Jeff McArthur laughs as he boasts about starving dogs and making them “beg” for food. He brags about denying a puppy with a “bone sticking out of his leg” professional veterinary care. And perhaps the most heartbreaking situation captured on video, encouraging his own pit bull to maul and kill a chained Belgian Malinois.
Efforts have been underway to hold McArthur accountable for these atrocities. Losing his business is not enough – the allegations are damning and indicative of blatant cruelty. People aware of the abuse allegations are determined to see him charged and sentenced.
Jeff McArthur calls himself a trainer – being a trainer does not give someone the right to abuse dogs. Professional trainers do not abuse, starve, and encourage other dogs to kill chained dogs.
There are more videos, as well as more information about other dogs harmed during their board at train sessions at this facility, on TikTok at (@sentinel.shitshow).
Please add your name to the petition to hold Jeff McArthur accountable for the dogs he starved, abused, and killed!

WHY THIS PETITION MATTERS:
We the undersigned demand Jeff McArthur be held accountable abusing dogs under the guise of training. Animal Victory and its supporters demand a full investigation into McArthur’s “training” methods and if the investigation determines that charges are warranted, we want to see McArthur charged and face the maximum sentence if a court of law finds him guilty.
Note: H. Lee Robinson with American Sentinel K9 in Mississippi has been targeted by people who have mistaken his business for McArthur’s. Read his statement about the confusion in this PSA.
Individuals are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law. Animal Victory relies upon the authorities and the court system to determine guilt or innocence.
