Horses Reportedly Left Repeatedly Without Water and Food for Years Deserve Justice

Target: Mr. Angelo Mondragon, State’s Attorney for Cavalier County, North Dakota, United States

Goal: Ensure a thorough investigation and prosecution of Mr. Mark Nordin for charges related to animal neglect involving three horses in Walhalla, North Dakota.

A deeply concerning case of animal neglect has surfaced in Walhalla, North Dakota. Mr. Mark Nordin, a resident of rural Walhalla, is facing charges related to the neglect of three horses that he owns. This alleged neglect spans a significant period, from November 2019 to May 2023.

According to court documents obtained by WDAY, Cavalier County deputies have conducted seven investigations into Mr. Nordin and his animals since 2019. During five of these occasions, the deputies reportedly discovered that the three horses had no access to food or water, indicating a severe lack of care and disregard for their well-being.

Animal neglect is an egregious violation of ethical standards and a matter of great concern for the welfare of animals. Horses, as sentient beings, depend on humans for their basic needs, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure their proper care and protection. Demand action now.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Mr. Angelo Mondragon,

We, the undersigned, are writing to express our profound concern and demand immediate action regarding the distressing case of animal neglect in Walhalla, North Dakota. It has come to our attention that Mr. Mark Nordin, a resident of rural Walhalla, is facing charges related to the neglect of three horses under his care.

The alleged neglect of these horses, spanning from November 2019 to May 2023, is deeply troubling. Animals depend on humans for their well-being, and neglecting their basic needs, such as access to food and water, is both inhumane and unlawful.

We urge you, as the State’s Attorney for Cavalier County, to take decisive action in this case. It is imperative to conduct a thorough investigation to gather all available evidence, interview witnesses, and establish the facts surrounding the alleged neglect. If Mr. Nordin is found guilty, we demand that he be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, ensuring that justice is served for the mistreated horses.

Animal neglect cases not only harm the individual animals involved but also reflect a disregard for the principles of compassion, responsibility, and respect for living beings. By pursuing this case diligently and seeking appropriate legal consequences, you will send a strong message that such acts of neglect and cruelty towards animals will not be tolerated in our community.

We implore you to prioritize the well-being of these horses and act as their advocates, representing their voice in the pursuit of justice. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that animals are protected from neglect and cruelty, upholding the values of compassion and empathy.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
