Six Blind Puppies Reportedly Stuffed in Bag and Abandoned Deserve Justice

Target: Joanna McClinton, Speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives

Goal: Support strengthening laws against abandonment of pet animals.

Thanks to two Pennsylvania police officers, half a dozen defenseless puppies were reportedly saved from a bleak fate. The officers pulled up behind a vehicle where the driver was seemingly preparing to throw a bag off an embankment. When cries and squeals were reportedly heard coming from the bag, the officers intervened and found the young pups (who were also blind) inside. These animals (along with their parents) have since been removed from the driver’s residence, and the driver has been held on suspicion of animal cruelty.

Tragically, countless pets are abandoned every year in America. Many end up on roadsides, in fields, in public spaces of all types, and eventually dead. If a caretaker has not made arrangements to rehome a pet or give the animal to a shelter, then that person could be charged with animal abandonment in almost all states. But some states apparently take this insidious offense more seriously than others, levying felony charges and potential prison sentences. Pennsylvania, where the aforementioned alleged incident took place, is not one of those states. Individuals found guilty of this crime only have to pay a fine, usually for as little as $300.

Sign the petition below to demand stronger protections for abandoned and at-risk animals.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Speaker McClinton,

When six blind puppies found in an enclosed bag were rescued from alleged abandonment by police officers, they were the lucky ones. Far too many abandoned animals are left defenseless on roadsides and in other harsh environments for which they have no preparation. Abandonment is an offense as cruel and often deadly as any traditional act of animal cruelty.

Pennsylvania, however, seemingly has a different view. Under sections 459-601 of the state’s animal cruelty statute, abandonment is defined as an offense only punishable by “a fine of not less than $300 and not more than $1,000.” Are these numbers the price tags for a living being?

In neighboring states, the penalties for abandonment reflect the gravity of the offense: felony charges and actual jail time. Please show your constituents that Pennsylvania takes all forms of animal cruelty seriously. Amend the law to enact tougher penalties and to set a standard that could save innocent lives.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

    Ban him from breeding!!
    The judge can punish him and send him to jail even if no laws.

  2. Agree this bullshit throw this cunt of the bridge with arms legs tied up leave the bastard to die slow. Justice now and laws need to change . Name shame and give him to the public to beat the fuck out of them. No animals for life. Don’t want people in this world cruel eye for a eye.

  3. I have reached the maximum with the cruel humans. I wish them the worst in their shitty lives.

  4. No law? What happened to the animal abuse law which is a felony that was signed into law in 2019? Any of these judges, lawyers and communities that allow this are just as guilty as the abuser as they support the offender’s sick demonic behavior towards the innocent.

  5. Uncommon Sensesc says:

    Why in the hell isn’t the name of this evil sob published?? What is the reasoning for protecting this piece of shit? On top of that, there’s a slap on the wrist as a fine! Whoever has come up with this (slack-ass lawyers, judges and boards) is just as evil as the sob that was going to throw away these innocent puppies to their deaths!

  6. Mollie McCurdy says:

    Having served as a humane investigator for years,
    many years ago, I am sorry to know that so much cruelty
    to animals is still practiced. People need to be severely
    punished and never allowed to own more animals! People
    who adopt out animals, also should be extremely careful
    about their placements! AND breeders should have to have
    licenses to breed and NEVER breed mixed breed dogs!

  7. Jaime Perez says:

    A $300 fine??? That’s a joke. He was intentionally going to kill these tiny innocent babies. That creep deserves a very long jail sentence and a huge fine!!

  8. Please PLEASE amend the PA animal humane laws to enact much stiffer penalties, or keep having deliberate and irresponsible humans continue to perpetuate severe and extreme cruelty to animals again and again and over and over. The choices are clear and simple: Take animal cruelty abuses much more seriously by imposing harsh penalties and fines that fit the crimes so that the punishment is closer to or equal to the crime. Slapping the perps on the wrist with a meager monetary fine – IS a crime.

  9. barry farley says:

    lock the bastard up whom committed this act of animal cruelty and punish him or her by throwing them over an embankment

  10. Cheryl Miller says:

    PA get with the times and up your penalties and throw these sicko cruel abusers in jail, fine them and never ever allow them innocent animals again!!! This is so sad to hear, disgusting and disturbing!!! PA CARE for innocent animals now!!!

  11. Let’s see there was blind puppies that should be $300 a puppy not just $300 and then that stupid bastard 25 years in prison where he belongs

  12. Me I support putting animal abuses to sleep

    Animals are like children. Abandoning animals is a CRIME, just like abandoning a child is a crime.
    NO animal deserves to be the victim of DEHUMANIZED and DESENSITIZED sadistic psychopaths. Crimes committed against animals are increasingly grotesque because the punishment for animal abuse is not severe enough, and in many cases does not exist. A slap on the wrist is a MOCKERY of animal victims. This dehumanized sadistic psychopath must be severely punished. He should also cover all veterinary costs resulting from this horrific abuse, and be banned from owning animals ever again. MAX JAIL for this Satanic lowlife scum!
    ANIMAL LIVES MATTER!!! ANIMAL LIVES are NOT COMMODITIES!!!

    THIS “EVIL BEING” WAS COMMITTING MURDER‼️
    HE MUST BE THROWN IN PRISON ALONG WITH A “HUGE FINE” FOR CRUELTY AND ALL THE TAXPAYERS FOOTING THE BILL KEEPING THIS DEMON ALIVE‼️

  16. Shirley Lemieux says:

    I can not thank the Police officers enough for being in the right place at the right time to save these puppies and even removing the puppy parents from this individual. Pennsylvania does have a reputation though of not harsh enough fines and or sentences for animal abusers. In this case, this individual intentionally put over a handful of defenseless babies into a bag with the intent of killing all of them. I strongly support this petition in hopes that the State of PA change that and be a leader in sending a message to anyone who abandons animals and commits animal abuse.

  17. I would love to stab a fired hot poker through both this MOFO’s eyes and stomp this human monster into the dirt to bleed to death– then let hell have them to torture for eternity. I think we, and those poor pups, will sleep safer at night.

  18. FFS there are surrender boxes at some shelters why can people be smarter and just surrender them there …. if they did they wouldn’t be in trouble … stupid is as stupid does I guess.

  19. Well maybe a bit of their own medicine would be appropriate…. And maybe the bag will also be tossed and just maybe no one see anything!! Pay backs can be a bitch!!!

  20. Bernhard Yolanda says:

    Why does Lady Justice behave so one-sidedly and meanly towards the animal world? Every dirtiest animal torturer/animal murderer has nothing to fear. But… I know one thing for sure… EVERYONE who attacks an innocent animal is visited by karma… woe betide those who do bad things. Even judges are not spared….
    There is only one.
    This damn spawn of the devil must suffer the same as these poor animals
    Shameful, just shameful to no end.
    A pile of shit has more decency, compassion and most of all a purpose in this life. Fertilizer is made from shit.
    but… people are toxic garbage. very dangerou
