Target: William E. Reynolds, Atlantic County Prosecutor, New Jersey
Goal: Ensure man who allegedly abandoned multiple dogs, throwing one over a fence, faces legal consequences.
A deeply troubling incident of alleged animal cruelty has come to light in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Jahlil McNeal, 23, has been charged with four counts of animal cruelty and failure to provide care to animals after he was reportedly captured on surveillance footage throwing a dog over a fence at the Humane Society of Atlantic County. The incident, which occurred last month, apparently left the dog injured with scars and missing patches of fur.
This was not an isolated incident. Authorities have indicated that this was the fourth time McNeal had abandoned a dog at the shelter under cover of darkness. The repeated nature of these reported actions demonstrates a concerning pattern of disregard for the well-being of these vulnerable animals.
The dog involved in the alleged incident is currently receiving care at the shelter. The shelter staff expressed their outrage and concern for the animal’s well-being, emphasizing the need for justice and the importance of ensuring that the dog finds a safe and loving home.
This case underscores the urgent need for stronger enforcement of animal cruelty laws. It also highlights the importance of ensuring that individuals who engage in such cruel acts face appropriate legal consequences. Send a strong message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our communities.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecutor William E. Reynolds,
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent case of alleged animal cruelty in Atlantic City involving Jahlil McNeal. McNeal has been charged with four counts of animal cruelty after being reportedly caught on camera throwing a dog over a fence at the Humane Society of Atlantic County. The dog apparently suffered injuries, including scars and missing fur, and it was discovered that this was the fourth time McNeal had allegedly abandoned a dog at the shelter.
The repeated nature of these reported actions demonstrates a troubling pattern of disregard for the welfare of these animals. It is essential that the justice system sends a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated.
I urge you to ensure that McNeal faces the maximum legal consequences for his actions. Additionally, I encourage you to support stronger animal cruelty laws and stricter enforcement to prevent similar cases in the future.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Our legal standard in America is in the toilet. You have placed it there. People like this man, at 23, he has done more damage than a multitude of people. He has abandoned dogs before and now he decides to throw a dog over the fence. He needs to be thrown over a very high fence! McNeal has been doing this for years .His parents must have known but did nothing? This man is young but twisted. He is mentally disturbed and needs to be in an institution. He must be removed from society as our society is built on laws so peace prevails. McNeal doesn’t pay attention. This creep must pay all medical and rehoming costs. He needs a ban, lifelong, to NEVBER own, work with, or be near animals. This man is unstable and children are next on his list.
