Target: James A. Linderman, Alpena County Prosecuting Attorney
Goal: Ensure Kristy Bartlett faces the maximum legal consequences for the alleged neglect and cruelty inflicted on over 160 animals and advocate for stronger animal protection laws in Alpena County.
In Alpena County, Michigan, an alleged case of animal abuse has come to light involving Kristy Bartlett, who has been charged with multiple counts of animal cruelty. The case began when animal control officer Michelle Reid received a complaint regarding suspected animal neglect at Bartlett’s property on Taylor Hawks Road. The complainant reportedly provided photographic evidence, allowing Officer Reid to secure a search warrant.
Upon executing the search warrant, Officer Reid and her team reportedly discovered over 160 animals living in deplorable conditions. The animals were apparently found in unsanitary environments and in very poor health. The animals were promptly taken into protective custody and relocated to safe locations that met state regulatory guidelines.
Bartlett has been charged with a felony for abandoning/cruelty to 25 or more animals and two misdemeanors for the improper burial of dead animals. She was released on a PR bond and is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. This case highlights the urgent need for stricter enforcement of animal cruelty laws and stronger regulations to prevent neglect in the future. Ensure the maximum legal consequences for the alleged neglect and cruelty inflicted on over 160 animals.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecuting Attorney James A. Linderman,
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent case of suspected animal cruelty involving Kristy Bartlett in Alpena County. Over 160 animals were reportedly found in deplorable conditions on her property, suffering from neglect and lack of basic care. The living environments were apparently unsanitary, and many animals were in extremely poor health.
This case underscores the urgent need for strict enforcement of animal protection laws to ensure that individuals responsible for cruelty are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. It is crucial that Kristy Bartlett faces the maximum legal consequences for her alleged actions to send a clear message that animal abuse will not be tolerated in our community.
I urge your office to prioritize the prosecution of this case and advocate for stronger regulations to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. The welfare of these innocent animals must be protected, and justice must be served.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
