Target: Wayne County District Attorney A.G. Howell
Goal: Ensure woman accused of abandoning her potbelly pig to starve receives the maximum punishment.
A woman reportedly left her potbelly pig behind when she moved to her new home. There are no details yet on how long the pig, now named Patrick, was alone, but apparently he was severely malnourished, suffered from multiple infections, and had very overgrown hooves and tusks. Police in Damascus Township, PA arrested a suspect on counts of aggravated animal cruelty.
The pig was immediately taken to Billy’s New Hope Barn Inc. for veterinary care. Fortunately, he has made an almost complete recovery after his reported trial, besides a minor issue with balance that may stem from an ear infection. Had an anonymous tip not been called in, the outcome may have been very different. The investigation is still ongoing.
Potbelly pigs may seem like self-sufficient animals, but they require a lot of preventative care and domesticated pets should never be left to fend for themselves. Sign the petition below to demand that, if found guilty, the accused will receive the maximum penalty for the alleged crimes.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear A. G. Howell,
Officers in your jurisdiction recently arrested Calin Joan Riffle on counts of aggravated animal cruelty. Police had received an anonymous tip regarding a potbelly pig, and they reported finding that he’d been abandoned by a woman when she moved away. The pig, Patrick, apparently was malnourished, had multiple infections, and suffered from pain associated with overgrown tusks and hooves. The pig was taken in by Billy’s New Hope Barn Inc., and has made a near-fully recovery aside some minor balance issues.
While things may have turned out okay in the end for Patrick, he suffered needlessly due to the suspect’s alleged abandonment and the law should make an example out of her. Please ensure the accused receives the maximum punishment, if found guilty, both as justice for Patrick and to ensure that others do not repeat this terrible mistake.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

I hope you have the most tragic ending possible when you die
I totally agree!!!
Me too!
Calin Joan Riffle — I wish you end up in jail for the longest possible time.
HER NAME IS OUT THERE. Vile pos.
Calin Joan Riffle: This is attempted murder via starvation. This abandonment due to a depraved mind. Sentence: To be incarcerated for no less than 35 years with no parole.
Get real. NOTHING will happen to this pos. Only good thing is her name is out there.
All animal abusers globally ,must have the death penalty implemented and nothing less.
Punish this CRUEL WOMAN by making her WATCH & HEAR others around her in PRISON/JAIL eat and drink but do NOT ALLOW HER ANY FOOD OR ANYTHING TO DRINK DURING HER ENTIRE STAY IN prison or jail!!!!
Yet another disgusting abuser.
Get the lowlife what she deserves.
give her the same treatment she gave the pig scum bag
She should be abandoned somewhere as part of her sentence. Leave her out by herself, scared, hungry with infections. She should have no more animals.
There are animal registries in some states warning people like this pos. We have something called dna. Do not adopt.
Eye for an eye and then she should.never be allowed to have any other animals again.
Now that we know her name, make sure she is ostracized. What a hateful person to abandon her pet. Why did she not ask for help to find a rescue that would take him in? Leaving any animal to fend for itself is cruel. You were his caretaker and you failed horribly. This POS should never have anymore animals EVER in her life.
Put this CUNT behind bars. PEOPLE– DO NOT GET A PET IF YOU CANT TAKE CARE OF IT. PLAIN AND SIMPLE!
Absolutely !!!
EVIL DEMON DESERVES THE SAME TREATMENT,,,, EYE FOR AN EYE !!!!
THOSE TYPE OF DEMONS DESERVE TO SUFFER …… HEARTLESS WITCH !!!
Agree all comments catch and starve this bitch . Laws need to change to have a pet.
People are so ignorant. This gal most definitely needs to be punished as there is no excuse for leaving this poor baby to fend for itself. Why do these kind of people scoot around out there in the world like nothing and innocent kind people receive all kind of disasters?
What goes around comes around. It’s called Karma!
People think…out of sight, out of mind? What a POS to leave this animal behind like you would discard a used newspaper. It’s time we hit these criminals hard with jail times and fees.
If you own an animal, you have a moral and ethical obligation to properly care for it. If you’re unwilling or unable to do so, you have a moral and ethical obligation to surrender it to an individual or an organization that can. Animal abandonment is UNACCEPTABLE and should be a CRIME. Make her PAY ALL VET BILLS to restore this poor pig to full health and BAN her from ever purchasing, owning, caring for or working with any animals ever again.
That woman is guilty. She must be sentenced to solitary confinement for life with no early parole. In there, she probably would get denied everything. Let her die in prison. She deserves nothing.
This heartless evil scum should receive maximum punishment!! If it were not for the good samaritan this little big would have probably perished a cruel and bitter end.
She deserves to feel that kind of abandonment! Rot in jail scumbag…May everyone you encounter from now forward have the same kind of consideration for you as you bestowed on that innocent little pig. ..
I bet this piece of garbage continued to stuff her fat cakehole while her pet was starving.
