Dogs and Cats Reportedly Starved for Days Deserve Justice

Target: Kaitlyn Lamb, Deputy County Attorney – Butte-Silver Bow

Goal: Secure stringent legal action against the individual charged with eight felony animal cruelty counts.

Veronica Lasell faces serious allegations of animal cruelty in Butte, Montana. Allegedly, she left four dogs and several cats in a deplorable state, without food or water. This shocking situation was discovered in January 2022, and the conditions were reportedly so dire that law enforcement officers needed protective suits to enter the premises. Such apparent neglect represents not only a profound failure of responsibility but also a gross violation of animal welfare laws.

Further distressing details were reported from the investigation. The dogs, allegedly found in an extremely deteriorated state, had to be euthanized. This outcome, stemming from reported neglect and failure to provide basic care, is deeply troubling. The misdemeanor charge accompanying the eight felony counts underscores the severity of the alleged offenses. Lasell’s alleged repeated failure to appear for arraignment, despite being released on bond, adds to the gravity of the situation.

The community demands justice for these animals. They appear to have suffered needlessly, and their tragic end is a stark reminder of the alleged cruelty they endured. This petition calls for stringent legal action against Lasell as well as mental health treatment, if deemed necessary. Her alleged failure to provide the most basic necessities of life to these animals cannot be overlooked. It’s imperative that the legal system responds with appropriate severity to prevent future incidents and uphold animal rights. Take action now.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Deputy County Attorney Kaitlyn Lamb,

We write to you deeply concerned about the distressing case of animal cruelty involving Veronica Lasell. Allegedly, she neglected several dogs and cats, leading to an unbearable situation where the animals were left without food or water in a Butte home. This case, characterized by its apparent shocking and heartbreaking details, calls for a strong legal response.

The suffering repotedly endured by these animals is unimaginable. The necessity of euthanizing the dogs highlights the apparent extremity of their condition, a direct result of Lasell’s alleged neglect. This situation not only calls for justice for these animals but also serves as a critical moment to uphold the law’s stance against animal cruelty. Lasell’s alleged repeated absence from court hearings further complicates this case, underscoring the need for a stringent legal approach.

We urge you to pursue the most severe legal penalties possible against Veronica Lasell as well as mental health treatment if deemed necessary. This case should set a precedent that animal cruelty is a serious offense, warranting significant legal consequences. We trust in your commitment to justice and in the legal system’s ability to serve as a deterrent to such abhorrent behavior in the future.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
