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]

These people knew right from wrong. They are accountable for all these animal deaths thus need to be judged and sent to prison. They are not so mentally ill that they get off easy with excuses. There is also no excuse for a 9 year old living alone in this house of horrors. If mental help is giver this child needs to be helped and assured life is not the horror they have seen. These people need to be locked up but my concern is fort the child and the remaining dogs left alive. This situation demands punishment, years and years of prison! Our laws must be stronger and also national not state by state which weakens the law. I simply request a trial and a sentence by the peers to be carried out until the end. These folks are murderers.
Jail for good
Rebeccah Halbach and Brandon Leconey should be captured caged and staved to near death like they did thos poor animals, let them wallow in their own urine and feces
I agree with you or just shoot them
I completely agree with you! These people do not deserve to live among other human beings. All child and animal abusers should be executed. Sadly, we just don’t do that.
agreed
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH… g

THOSE EVIL BEING’S DESERVE FHE SAME TREATMENT FOR THEIR PUNISHMENT ,,,, ASAP!!!
Rebeccah Halbach and Brandon Leconey need to be prosecuted to the fullest if found guilty of their crimes against sentient beings – please send a message to your community that this sick behavior will NOT be tolerated.
Throw the book at them please, they never need to have their child back, this child deserves better. As for the animals you two are worse than the scum below the earth, you two never need to see the light of day, actually you need to be taken out in the woods and bolted to a tree and left to be on your own, i do not wish evil on people but you deserved to get back what you dished out,i despise dirt bags like you two that hurt children, animals and elderly, you prey on people and animals that can not defend for the selves and as far as i am concerned you deserve to be treated the same way…
Couple of pieces of SHIT!
Just fuck the owners of the house!!!!
The picture in my head of this makes me nauseous. Why can’t we just rid the world of these awful people already? Come on God! Instant karma! hello!
DO UNTO OTHERS. AN EYE FOR AN EYE!!! Seems only fitting here!!
I wish the same punishment for child abuse would apply to animal abuse. Animal abusers are proven to go on to abuse humans. There needs to be harsher punishments for these heinous horrors. They absolutely know what they’re doing, they need long prison sentences, banning for life from owning or working with animals and having to stay away from them for life. This pair are also abusing the child by treating animals so badly in his presence. A true house of horrors owned by horrific, evil people!
No animal or child deserves to be the victim of DEHUMANIZED and DESENSITIZED SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS!!! Crimes committed against defenseless animals, and innocent kids, are increasingly GROTESQUE because the punishment is not severe enough, and in many cases does not exist. A slap on the wrist is a MOCKERY of animal victims. These satanic pathological monsters must be severely punished, MAX JAIL or DEATH PENALTY! They must also be forbidden from coming near animals ever again, and cover all veterinary costs resulting from this horrific abuse. This tormented child needs to be removed from them too.
SET a PRECEDENT, and punish to the full extent of the law!
Rebeccah Halbach and Brandon Leconey…You should both be dead. Hope it comes soon….
SOB THESE ARE MURDERERS AND SHOULD BE DEALT WITH AS SUCH. NONE OF THESE LITTLE SLAPS ON WRIST.
All these INNOCENT animals suffered horrifically. …and the legal system does frig all time and again!!!!!!!!
Further how do people get 100+ animals and no one notices. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HERE THAT SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
PEOPLE WHO ADOPT ANIMALS SHOULD BE VETTED EACH AND EVERY TIME. HOUSE INSPECTION ETC …THE WHOLE 9 YARDS. MEASURES NEED TO BE PUT IN PLACE AS YOU WOULD FOR CHILD ADOPTIONS!
WHAT A MESSED UP WORLD! IF ONLY THE LEGAL SYSTEM WOULD DO THEIR JOB!!!….THIS WOULD HELP!!
WAKE UP…WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING..CHILDREN AND ANIMALS IN THIS DISGUSTING HOUSE OF FILTH AND HORROR…DO YOU ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING TO ENSURE PROTECTION FROM THESE MONSTERS…CLEARLY NOT!!
OH YES YOU TAKE THE MONEY BUT OBVIOUSLY DON’T DO THE JOB OR ELSE THIS WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN.
ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING, YOU ARE ALL A DISGRACE.
THESE VILE CREATURES, SUPPOSEDLY HUMANS MUST BE PUNISHED, PUT AWAY FOR GOOD AND THE POOR CHILD AND ANIMALS CARED FOR PROPERLY.
WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING…SWEET NOTHING…SHAME ON YOU…DISGUSTING!!
So true. I am serious when I say are these their real names? They are dead people.
Do you think a dog doesn’t feel extreme hunger and thirst as they die? Do you think people are even human? To know you are taking a dog that will be dead into your care because you plan to throw it into a house of horror with no love or compassion?
This is some of the worst filth to walk the earth. In the name of these animals, I will for the next 24 hours deeply pray for you.
Karma is a bitch.
No words! 💔💔💔
Instigation of the death penalty is essential to be implemented without delay to these vile, mentally deranged severe dog abusers/killers. A slow and agonizing death!
These are sick twisted individuals that need to be in prison for life and or in a straitjacket. These are demons that prey on the most innoncent and they allowed a child to witness it all. The agonizing death these angels had to suffer starving to death while they watched one another perish.
Agree all comments.
Do the same back to them. Let them rot in hell. Justice now. Not enough done about animal cruelty. Give them to the public to deal with them. We don’t want people in this world who do this. Sick of hearing about animal cruelty abd no excuse.
This will never change until our legal system starts punishing these sick warped twisted lowlifes! I do not understand why our judicial system sits on their hands and allows this type of suffering to continue day after day? The torture abuse neglect that goes on is criminal plain and simple it’s gotten so bad on social media with these disgusting torture videos for clicks people think this is entertainment! People are beating animals to death for fun! Every day theres hundreds more sickening stories coming out imagine how many aren’t reported? Come on its not rocket science on how to stop this prosecution is the only solution! This is wrong on so many levels its not hard to figure out what should happen to these scumbags do your job!
Rebeka Halback and Brandon Leconey should be thrown behind the house of horrors!!!
