Target: Ray Tierney, District Attorney of Suffolk County, New York State, US
Goal: Ensure rigorous prosecution for the alleged aggravated animal cruelty in Riverside.
The distressing report from Southampton Town police unveils a grim scene at a Riverside residence, where two dogs were purportedly found in abhorrent conditions, igniting an outcry for justice. On a seemingly ordinary Friday afternoon, the discovery was anything but: one dog allegedly restrained with a zip tie as a crude muzzle, both exhibiting signs of injury and neglect. This harrowing image not only paints a picture of suffering but also screams for legal scrutiny and intervention.
Roosevelt Sykes, 54, now faces charges of aggravated cruelty to animals, a serious felony, alongside accusations of failing to provide adequate shelter for these vulnerable beings. The detailed allegations, including the use of a zip tie to cruelly muzzle one dog, spotlight a disturbing disregard for animal welfare and basic decency. These acts, as reported, not only breach legal statutes but also moral boundaries, demanding a response as firm as the law allows.
This case transcends mere legal action; it is a call to the conscience of the community and a test of our collective resolve against cruelty. The demand is clear and unequivocal: a rigorous, unwavering prosecution to not only address the alleged acts of one individual but to send an unmistakable message that such alleged cruelty finds no shelter in our society. Justice for these dogs is not just about retribution; it is about affirming our stand as a community that values compassion and staunchly opposes brutality in any guise.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Attorney Ray Tierney,
The case before you, involving the alleged severe mistreatment of two dogs in Riverside, is not just a file number or a docket entry; it represents a profound breach of trust between humans and the animals under their care. The details, as reported by the Southampton Town police, are disturbing: one dog purportedly found with a zip tie cruelly fashioned as a makeshift muzzle, both showing signs of abuse and neglect. These allegations against Roosevelt Sykes, if proven, depict not just a felony but a fundamental failure of empathy and responsibility.
This incident, beyond its legal dimensions, touches upon the core values of our community — compassion, justice, and the protection of those who cannot speak for themselves. The charges of aggravated cruelty to animals and the failure to provide adequate shelter, as alleged, call for a response that matches the gravity of the acts. It is imperative that this case be pursued with the utmost seriousness, ensuring that the legal proceedings reflect the community’s condemnation of such alleged brutality.
In light of the disturbing allegations and the community’s trust in your office, I urge a steadfast commitment to a thorough, rigorous prosecution. Let this case serve not only as a measure of justice for the victims but also as a clear declaration that our society will not countenance such alleged cruelty. We look to your leadership to ensure that these alleged acts of inhumanity are met with the full force of justice, affirming our collective resolve to protect the most vulnerable among us.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Put that 54 year old pice of shit 10 feet under ground with a bullet between his eyes
Stop using the word “allegedly “. The dog didn’t zip tie his own snout! A POS humandid that!
This man is not only cruel but is also insane. No sane person would do this to an animal. Both were his dogs. He knew them yet he did this? There is no reason or excuse or this action. I would suggest his mouth be tapped shut for weeks to show him how it feels but this man is too far gone, I think, for that to do any good. He should not be in society as he is a burden. He is broken and can not be fixed. He needs mental evaluation and should be placed in an institution for the rest of his life. Who knows what he has done prior to getting caught this time. If this creep is allowed his freedom after doing this then at the very least place a ban on him that he can NEVER own, work with or be around any animals again in life. You may wish to extend that to children also.
