Demand Justice for 348 Animals Reportedly Found Malnourished and Dehydrated

Target: Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita

Goal: Ensure those responsible for this extensive animal cruelty case are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and advocate for stronger enforcement of animal welfare regulations in Indiana.

In Gosport, Indiana, a troubling case has emerged involving 348 animals allegedly found in dire conditions on the property of Cody Woods and Amanda Simpson. The animals, which included dogs, ducks, chickens, goats, and horses, were reportedly malnourished and dehydrated, with many found deceased. The Owen County Humane Society and other local shelters have stepped in to rescue and care for the surviving animals, underscoring what appears to be a significant breach of animal welfare standards.

The investigation began after reports of a neglected horse prompted a deputy’s visit, reportedly revealing most animals lacked food and water. Upon obtaining a search warrant, a veterinarian allegedly discovered numerous dead animals, highlighting severe neglect. This case has overwhelmed local shelters due to the volume of animals needing care, underscoring the necessity for community support and donations.

This incident highlights the critical importance of vigilant reporting by community members to prevent animal neglect and abuse. Timely intervention can significantly impact animal welfare. Ensure accountability and deter future neglect and cruelty in the community.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Attorney General Todd Rokita,

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent case of apparent extensive animal cruelty in Gosport, Indiana, involving Cody Woods and Amanda Simpson. Authorities reportedly discovered 348 animals in deplorable conditions, many of whom were malnourished, dehydrated, and some deceased. This incident seems to represent a severe violation of animal welfare standards and demands immediate attention.

It is crucial to send a strong message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in Indiana and to implement stricter enforcement of animal welfare regulations to prevent such incidents in the future.

Sincerely,
