Target: Brianna Vanata, District Attorney of Greene County, Ohio
Goal: Ensure maximum penalties for individual accused of starving two dogs in feces and urine-filled home.
Two innocent dogs were reportedly found abandoned in horrifying conditions at a home filled with urine and feces. The animals, a mixed-breed dog named Zoey and a Labrador retriever mix named Harley, were reportedly left without food or water and were severely malnourished, with Zoey being gound so weak she could not stand without falling.
Humane Society officers initially visited the home after receiving a complaint but were denied access to the dogs. Nearly two months later, after the landlord reported the dogs had been abandoned, authorities executed a search warrant and made the shocking discovery. Both dogs were taken to a veterinary hospital, where they began their journey to recovery, gaining weight and regaining the ability to walk.
The individual allegedly responsible for this severe neglect has been charged with aggravated animal cruelty. It is critical that this case be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law to send a clear message that such neglect will not be tolerated. Additionally, the long-term welfare of Zoey and Harley must be safeguarded to ensure they receive the care and love they deserve.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Brianna Vanata,
The recent case involving two dogs allegedly abandoned in squalid conditions in Cumberland Township is deeply disturbing. Reports indicate that Zoey and Harley were left in a home filled with urine and feces, without access to food or water, and were severely malnourished. Zoey was reportedly unable to stand without falling due to her weakened state.
Animal cruelty is a serious offense that causes immense suffering and should not be taken lightly. It seems these dogs endured prolonged neglect and that their rescue came just in time to save their lives. Justice must be served to hold the responsible party accountable and deter similar cases of cruelty in the future.
We urge your office to pursue the maximum penalties available under the law for this alleged crime. Additionally, we request that Zoey and Harley be placed in loving homes where they can continue to recover and live free from harm. This case highlights the importance of strong legal action to protect animals and uphold the values of compassion and justice.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
