Target: LaChia L. Bradshaw, Prosecutor for Burlington County, New Jersey
Goal: Punish individuals accused of starving over 100 animals to fullest extent if found guilty.
When New Jersey residents Rebeccah Halbach and Brandon Leconey were arrested on multiple charges of animal cruelty as well as child endangerment, community members were horrified. Investigators indicated that the couple may have been responsible for the deaths of as many as 100 dogs and the endangerment of many more animals, including cats and rabbits. The local police chief described their alleged house of horrors as follows: “there’s dogs in cages. Live dogs in cages, dead dogs in cages. Dead animals throughout the house…behind the home there was also a burial spot where there was a large number of dogs in various levels of decay.” A nine-year-old child was also reportedly on the premises, leading to the child endangerment charges. But the sad story does not end here. Halbach and Leconey have now been arrested on even more charges.
According to the new filings, the couple allegedly leveraged their connections to an animal rescue to pose as employees of the shelter and engage in fraudulent adoptions. Worse yet, not only did this apparent scheme reportedly swindle well-meaning people out of money, but it also allegedly led to innocent animals coming under the “care” of the couple. Abuse, neglect, and starvation seemingly followed.
Sign the petition below to call for no settlements and maximum sought penalties in this disturbing case.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecutor Bradshaw,
Rebecca Halbach and Brandon Leconey allegedly let dozens of animals starve to death while carrying out a reported fraudulent animal adoption scheme. From the statements of the police chief, the alleged crime scene tragically lived up to its moniker as a house of horrors. The chief said of the case: “what was present in that home was jarring to some pretty senior law enforcement officers, who have seen things, and this will probably stick with them for a while.” These discoveries apparently included several barely alive animals on the brink of death.
Following the additional charges related to the initial animal cruelty and child endangerment charges, please ensure this tragic chapter has a just conclusion. Do not settle out of court, and pursue the maximum possible sentence. The reported victims deserve as much.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

MAKE THESE TWO CRUEL AND ABUSIVE ASSHOLES WATCH AS OTGER INNATES EAT AND DRINK BUT DO NOT FEED THEM ANY FOOD AND/OR GIVE THEM ANYTHING TO DRINK & BAN ALL OTHERS FROM GIVING THEM ANYTHING TOBEAT AND/DRINK DURING ALL THEIR STAY IN PRISON!! These 2 CRYEL & ABUSIVE ASSHOLES should NEVER BE ALLOWED TO ADOPT, OWN, AND OR BE NEAR ANY MORE AMIMALS FOR THE REST OF THEIR MISERANLE LIFES!!
AMEN!! AMEN!!!
Starve them to death! No food or water and no way out of building!
Absolutely may they die a thousand torturous deaths and be damned to hell!! We are so enraged!!
What the Hell is wrong with these people! They need the same thing to happen to them and throw away the key after the book is thrown at them. A 9 yr old child too OMG!
How long did this go on before this was Finally found out? This is beyond horrific it’s Terrifying to think this went on!!
These two monsters need to spend the rest of their miserable lives in jail. They are despicable pieces of garbage to do such horrible things to innocent animals. Lock them up and throw away the key!!
These 2 pieces of shit should be locked in a prison cell with no food or water until their miserable lives are snuffed out. How is it that so many people were fooled by them. I know shelters need to find homes but loving caring ones PLEASE
These so-called people need to be buried under a jail. These are deplorable actions by individuals that never need to see the light of day for all the animals much less for the child I believe that agencies need to really screen people better to adopt that and sign up for shelters with the state or the county it seems to me that that portion is lacking attention so that the portion we’re dealing with now doesn’t happen. Thank you.
Rebeccah Halbach and Brandon Leconey are SCUMBAG LOWLIFE POSs that need to be put behind bars for 30 years MINIMUM!!!
Put them in with a bunch of animal lovers that should take care of it.
Yes I agree put them with animal lovers, these poor animals how they must have suffered waiting for food and water that never came day by miserable day.throw these pieces of shit for a long time in prison.
DEATH PENALTY TO THE HORRIBLE INHUMAN BASTARDS. PLEASE CLEAN UP SOCIETY!
I say: Lock them into cages and let them starve, like they did to their imprisoned animals. They are so fat that they could probably live off their obese bodies for several weeks (if not months). And it will teach them a lesson they won’t forget in a hurry. And if they die – so well and good. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
