Target: Michael Dougherty, District Attorney of Boulder County, Colorado
Goal: Ensure legal accountability for those allegedly responsible for animal cruelty
A ghastly scenario unfolded in Boulder City, where authorities unearthed over fifty guinea pigs and rabbits from a vehicle, reportedly kept in atrocious conditions, with fifteen tragically deceased. The incident, initially brought to light due to a concerned tip, reportedly revealed animals packed into plastic totes, lacking appropriate care and space. Allegedly orchestrated by a couple, this apparent act of cruelty highlights a disturbing disregard for animal welfare.
Further investigation at the couple’s residence and a nearby hotel disclosed additional alleged neglect, uncovering thirty dogs, with ten already perished. In total, the alleged cruelty affected dozens of animals, leaving survivors in desperate need of medical attention. Beyond the immediate suffering inflicted, the incident imposes a significant financial strain on local resources dedicated to animal rescue and rehabilitation.
The necessity for stringent legal measures against such alleged acts of cruelty is undeniable. This petition seeks to compel the District Attorney to pursue all applicable charges against the individuals reportedly responsible. Demand justice for the voiceless victims of this appalling situation, ensuring such acts do not go unpunished.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Michael Dougherty,
A recent discovery in Boulder City has exposed a grave situation of alleged animal cruelty involving over eighty animals under the care of two individuals. Reportedly found in abhorrent conditions, fifty-one guinea pigs and rabbits were rescued from a vehicle, with fifteen having already succumbed to apparent neglect. Subsequent searches unveiled even more animals suffering from similar alleged neglect, totaling an alarming number of casualties and survivors in dire need of care.
The details of this case, involving animals seemingly kept in deplorable conditions and the subsequent loss of innocent lives, have shocked the community. The survivors, now burdened with the need for extensive medical treatment, represent a significant financial and emotional toll on local animal welfare organizations. It’s clear that this situation not only represents a severe case of alleged animal neglect but also underscores a larger issue of accountability and the need for stronger deterrents against such acts.
We urge you to take decisive action by ensuring that the individuals allegedly responsible face the fullest extent of legal repercussions for their actions. This case demands not just attention but action that reaffirms our community’s commitment to the welfare of all living beings and the prevention of future acts of cruelty. Let this serve as a precedent for the serious legal consequences awaiting those who would neglect or harm animals.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
