Over 100 Animals Reportedly Starved and Denied Medical Care at Farm Deserve Justice

Target: Jennifer Schorn, Bucks County District Attorney, Pennsylvania

Goal: Ensure maximum legal penalties for the alleged perpetrator of extreme animal cruelty and neglect at a Bucks County farm.

Authorities in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, have uncovered an alleged case of large-scale animal cruelty that investigators describe as one of the worst in the county’s history. Over 127 animals, including pigs, goats, and sheep, were rescued from a farm where they were reportedly left to suffer in squalid conditions without proper care. The accused, Abigail Tuttle O’Keeffe, is charged with aggravated cruelty to animals and numerous counts of neglect.

According to investigators, the animals endured chronic neglect, including untreated infections, severe malnourishment, and parasite infestations. A search of the property reportedly revealed one emaciated goat dying during the investigation and another so severely ill that it had to be euthanized despite intensive care. Many animals were allegedly fed nutritionally void by-products and received no meaningful veterinary attention.

O’Keeffe, who had reportedly announced plans to leave the country, has not been apprehended, further delaying justice for these innocent victims. This case exemplifies the devastating consequences of seemingly large-scale neglect and the urgent need for accountability. Strong legal action must be taken to ensure justice for the animals and to deter similar incidents in the future.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Jennifer Schorn,

The recent allegations of large-scale animal cruelty and neglect at Narrow Way Farm in Wrightstown have shocked and outraged animal advocates nationwide. Reports indicate that over 127 animals were found suffering from malnutrition, untreated infections, and parasite infestations. Tragically, at least two animals died due to the seemingly deplorable conditions before they could be rescued.

The accused, Abigail Tuttle O’Keeffe, has been charged with aggravated cruelty to animals and multiple counts of neglect. Investigators and witnesses describe a prolonged and systemic failure to provide basic care, resulting in suffering for these defenseless animals.

We urge your office to pursue the maximum penalties allowed under the law for these charges. It is imperative that those who commit such heinous acts of cruelty face strong consequences to protect other animals from harm. Justice for these animals is not only a moral obligation but also a crucial step toward fostering a more humane society.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
