Target: Michael T. Gmoser, Prosecutor for Butler County, Ohio
Goal: Praise the prosecution and punishment of the woman convicted of starving three dogs to death and decapitating one.
A woman has been convicted of felony animal cruelty after she starved three dogs to death and another was decapitated on her property. Her charges were some of the first under Ohio’s new law encouraging harsher penalties for animal cruelty offenders. Thank the prosecutor for seeking a harsher penalty in this case as advocated for in a previous ForceChange petition.
Judge Greg Stephens sentenced Tina Marie Jackson to 60 days in the Butler County Jail after she was convicted of fifth-degree felony animal cruelty. Jackson was charged following the fatal starvation and death of four dogs on her property. Two of those dogs died long painful deaths in doghouses and a third was discovered in a black plastic tote, along with another dog’s decapitated head. Jackson never offered an explanation regarding the decapitated dog.
In addition to the jail time, Jackson was placed on five years probation, ordered not to leave the state, and required to undergo a drug and mental health assessment. Sign below to thank Prosecutor Gmoser for seeking real justice in this sad case.
