Target: Ms. Kris Mayes, Attorney General of Arizona
Goal: Demand punishment for woman accused of keeping 55 dogs without access to water and in severely deteriorated conditions.
Recent reports from Arizona have unveiled a deeply distressing case of alleged animal abuse and neglect involving April McLaughlin, a 48-year-old woman from Chandler. According to Arizona police, a search warrant was executed at her residence, where she operated an animal rescue shelter. The search reportedly revealed a horrifying scene, with dozens of abused dogs discovered, and the discovery of five deceased puppies stored in the freezer.
The search was initiated following multiple calls and reports from concerned neighbors, who had raised complaints about foul odors emanating from the premises and the deplorable hoarding conditions within the residence.
Reports indicate that most of the 55 dogs rescued from McLaughlin’s home were elderly and special-needs animals. Shockingly, they were apparently found without access to water and in severely deteriorated conditions, to the extent that many may have to be euthanized due to their suffering.
The situation was reportedly so dire that firefighters were equipped with special breathing apparatus to protect them from the hazardous air quality. Subsequently, the house was condemned, according to police authorities.
April McLaughlin now faces a slew of charges, including 55 counts of animal abuse, 55 counts of animal cruelty, and one count of vulnerable adult abuse, as her elderly mother also resided in the same home.
While these allegations are deeply disturbing, it is essential that justice be pursued diligently and fairly. Every living being deserves to be treated with compassion and care, and those found guilty of cruelty must be held accountable for their actions. Take action now.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Ms. Mayes,
We are writing to express profound concern and dismay over the recent allegations of animal abuse and neglect involving April McLaughlin in Chandler, Arizona. The reported conditions discovered at her residence, where she operated an animal rescue shelter, are deeply troubling and demand a thorough investigation.
It is imperative that a comprehensive inquiry be conducted to ascertain the veracity of these allegations and to determine the extent of suffering endured by the animals under her care. The wellbeing of these innocent creatures, many of whom are elderly and special-needs, is of paramount importance, and those responsible for their alleged mistreatment must be brought to justice.
We urge you, as the Attorney General of Arizona, to ensure that this case is rigorously investigated, that all evidence is thoroughly examined, and that charges are filed if warranted. Furthermore, we request that any individuals found guilty of animal abuse and neglect face appropriate legal consequences to deter future acts of cruelty.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the need for strong enforcement of laws and regulations that protect animals from harm and exploitation. We implore you to champion the cause of animal welfare in Arizona and to demonstrate that the state is committed to upholding the principles of compassion and justice.
In the interest of justice and the welfare of animals, we beseech you to act swiftly and decisively in this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Throw this useless piece of shit bitch in jail – obviously she wasn’t running any kind of an animal shelter. WTF is wrong with people – she doesn’t deserve to be walking this god damn planet. The world doesn’t need all of these animal abusers.

NOTHING will happen to this fucking hoarder!
Agreed! Throw her in jail where she belongs. Supposed to be an animal rescue??? OMG. Sickening. I hate abusers and they seem to continue ro get away with this shit. Why is a good question. It can’t be that hard to take care or the animals in your care or don’t get them. Simple.

This case serves as a stark reminder of the need for strong enforcement of laws and regulations that protect animals from harm and exploitation. Obviously this woman is deeply disturbed mentally but she must still answer for her lack of care. Authorities heard from neighbors and discovered the atrocity. Arizona and to demonstrate that the state is committed to upholding the principles of compassion and justice. Arizona must demonstrate that the state is committed to upholding the principles of compassion and justice.

You need to sign and send the petition.
Death penalty for this bitch!
Justice for puppies (RIP) and dogs!
My God, please, jail time and on a list that denies them animal ownership ever again. States need to get serious.
Prison time……forever…………
This is probably a really really sad situation where a human being was found amongst these poor dogs if the authority don’t do something about this, then there is something wrong with your legal system. I pray for the puppies, the dogs and especially that crazy woman’s mother the woman is in desperate need of being put in prison with a bunch of animal lovers and people that care about old people. They will definitely take care of her.
Revolting people so much for a ‘shelter’. These people need punishing to the fullest extent.
Why did authorities take so Long to come out?? That also needs to be investigated with the elderly dogs suffering and the poor little dead puppies!
This nut job needs to live in those conditions and freezer!!
I CAN’T STAND THE CRUELTY ANYMORE. PROSECUTE THAT BITCH TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW. I AGREE…DEATH PENALTY FOR HER SO THESE INNOCENT DOGS AND PUPPIES CAN HAVE JUSTICE.
Our animals deserve to be protected from harm. This woman should not ever be alone with any animal again.
Find the bastard who did the crime and fuck him!!
RESCUE????
Don’t care prosecute to the fullest. All these horrific animal cruelty cases need to be dealt with properly SO THAT WE CAN ALL SEE AN END!!!!!! What are you lawmakers thinking!!!!!!!!@!@ …and get STRINGENT BREEDING LAWS IN PLACE THAT ARE ENFORCED COUNTRYWIDE!!!!!!
THE SWEET INNOCENT ANIMALS HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!
cut her fingers off
Incarceration for animal abuse. Until citizens contact legislators and follow up on their voting records, nothing will change. Breeding laws are nearly non-existent, breeders exploit animals in the many thousands yearly with no punitive action. All offenders in this case should be held to their actions, no excuses.
This so called animal rescue group needs to be punished severely and they should never be allowed to own pets or house rescue animals.
Agree all comments put this bitch in same conditions leave to rot in hell. Justice now for any animal cruelty no excuse. Give the bitch to animal lovers to deal with. More checks need to be done to buy sell and own animals to much of this sick shit and people getting away with it. To own animals.als need to be a property check every year and desexed microchiped and on a animal register when sell if can’t afford or keep should be taken to shelter or next person needs to be on register to take. Some needs to be done now. If dont want the expense or looking after it dont fucken get one.
Why wouldn’t I sign…
Evil, heartless hoarder needs a mental evaluation , those innocent animals suffered at the hands of this terrible human. Hope justice for the voiceless gets served.
Lock this deranged, depraved,psychotic piece of human garbage up and throw away the key. Better still, just leave her to rot and then dump her carcass in the gutter where she belongs. Lets have justice for the innocent animals that she was SUPPOSED to care for.
I’m so sick of people claiming to be rescuers and are only in it for the money. These poor excuses for human beings need to spend the rest of their miserable lives in jail. The poor, innocent animals who suffered so deplorably at the hands of this ignorant ho, deserve justice.
