Target: Teresa Klingensmith, District Attorney of Washington County, Pennsylvania
Goal: Ensure that Florine and Russell L. Chilcote face the maximum legal consequences for their alleged cruel treatment of farm animals.
Pennsylvania State Police have charged Florine and Russell L. Chilcote with multiple counts of animal cruelty related to donkeys and a horse. Allegations include causing significant bodily injury or death, neglecting veterinary care, and torturing animals.
The animals were reportedly found standing in manure with overgrown hooves, causing them injury and pain. One donkey, allegedly severely underweight and unable to stand, required immediate veterinary attention.
The Chilcotes allegedly admitted to not seeking care due to the animals’ age and breeding purpose. This case highlights the need for strict enforcement of animal welfare laws. Ensure maximum legal consequences for their alleged cruel treatment of farm animals.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Klingensmith,
I am writing to express my concern regarding the recent animal cruelty charges against Florine and Russell L. Chilcote. The allegations of severe neglect and abuse toward the donkeys and horse found on their property are deeply troubling.
The reported conditions of the animals, including overgrown hooves, malnutrition, and unsanitary living conditions, suggest a grave violation of animal welfare standards. The suffering apparently endured by these animals is unacceptable, and it is crucial that justice is served.
I urge you to pursue the maximum legal penalties for the Chilcotes if they are found guilty of these charges. This case underscores the importance of upholding animal welfare laws and sending a strong message that cruelty will not be tolerated.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

These perps are guilty. Actually their faces should be smeared in manure for what they’ve done. Our laws do not protect the innocent only their guilty owners. I know not all owners are as abusive as this couple. These perps must pay all medical expenses. Take their home, their cars, their savings and put toward paying for the animals remaining. This couple deserves nothing and they should have nothing! Life is precious. These two need to sit in prison for years and suffer for what they chose to do. To not get a vet to help is against every kindness of God and these two need to rot in hell. This would be justice!
