MoveOn.org petition to ND Private Investigation and Security Board, re: attack dogs sicced on Native American water protectors

MoveOn.org has a petition directed to the North Dakota Private Investigation and Security Board, asking hard questions about the inhumane security dog and Mace attacks on Native American water protectors, near the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe reservation on Sept. 3, 2016. The protectors were attempting to block Dakota Access crude oil pipeline bulldozers, which were desecrating sacred Native American cultural and spiritual sites, including burial sites, over the Labor Day weekend. Dakota Access Pipelines used the locations of the sacred sites, provided by the Tribe in court documents less than 24 hours earlier, as a road map for destroying those very sacred sites. The Tribe, of course, hoped to protect the sites; Dakota Access Pipelines had the exact opposite in mind.
