Target: Lackawanna County District Attorney Mark Powell, Pennsylvania, US
Goal: Ensure perpetrators receive the maximum penalty allowable by law for allegedly egregious acts of animal cruelty.
The stench of alleged neglect and suffering still hangs heavy in the air of the West Market Street house, a grim testament to unimaginable cruelty inflicted upon innocent animals. What greeted rescuers wasn’t just a scene of squalor and deprivation, but a descent into the depths of depravity, where desperation allegedly drove cats to cannibalize one another for survival. The skeletal remains of countless others reportedly lined the path to this macabre tableau, each a silent accusation against the couple apparently responsible for this nightmare: Marvin and Cindy Frederick.
Mounds of trash, emaciated bodies, and the gnawing hunger that allegedly forced animals to turn on each other – these are the hallmarks of the Fredericks’ reign of terror. Their allegedly callous disregard for life extended beyond the West Market Street home, with another property on Hollister Street harboring more victims in an RV converted into a chamber of suffering.
This is not simply an alleged case of animal cruelty; it is an apparent stain on the conscience of our community. The Fredericks’ actions were not borne of ignorance, but allegedly of willful neglect and depravity. They allegedly stripped these animals of their dignity, their sustenance, and ultimately, their lives. They deserve not a slap on the wrist, but the full weight of legal Konsequenzen for their unconscionable acts, if found guilty.
Ensure that justice is served in this case. Do not let the cries of these allegedly tortured animals go unheard. Seek the maximum penalty allowable by law for Marvin and Cindy Frederick, sending a clear message that such barbarity will not be tolerated in Lackawanna County. Let this case be a turning point, where the scales of justice tip decisively in favor of the voiceless, vulnerable creatures who depend on us for protection.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Powell,
The allegedly harrowing tale of animal abuse unfolding in Scranton has shaken the community to its core. The image of emaciated cats reportedly resorting to cannibalism in a house of horrors on West Market Street is seared into our collective memory, a stark reminder of the depths of human cruelty. Marvin and Cindy Frederick, the individuals allegedly responsible for this nightmare, must face the full consequences of their actions, if found guilty.
The litany of charges against them – 23 felonies and numerous misdemeanors – speaks volumes about the severity of their neglect. Allegedly leaving animals to starve, dehydrate, and cannibalize each other is not mere oversight; it is a conscious and unconscionable act of barbarity. The additional animal victims found at their Hollister Street property further underscores the pattern of allegedly deliberate cruelty that must be met with the firmest possible response.
We, the undersigned, implore you to seek the maximum penalty allowable by law for Marvin and Cindy Frederick. Let this case be a beacon of justice, not only for the animals who suffered at their hands, but for every voiceless creature vulnerable to such abuse. Send a clear message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in Lackawanna County. No plea for leniency, no excuse of circumstance, can justify the depths to which the Fredericks descended.
Hold them accountable to the fullest extent of the law in case they are in deed found guilty. Show the community, and indeed the world, that Lackawanna County stands for compassion, for the protection of the vulnerable, and for the unwavering pursuit of justice in the face of unimaginable cruelty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

This couple caged animals and then restricted food, water, and showed no kindness. Do the same to them. They need to be in prison for a very long time. They can not be around or own animals in the future, iff they actually have a future. They shouldn’t. This is a threat to society. Such cruelty must be stopped and an example made for others to know they can not do the same to any other living being. Are humans the only animal deserving of rights? I wish the law would go after these sites which allow and encourage this type of action and then show the videos for … you guessed it … money. The sites need to be shut down if they continue to show these videos. It should be against the law to do so!!!
