Target: Alan Wilson, Attorney General of South Carolina
Goal: Strengthen and expand initiatives combating animal cruelty in memory of Caitlyn’s incredible legacy.
Caitlyn, a courageous dog who survived horrific abuse and became a global symbol for the fight against animal cruelty, has tragically passed away after a valiant battle with cancer. Her journey began in 2015 when she was rescued with her muzzle cruelly bound with electrical tape, an act of brutality that shocked the world. Caitlyn’s story inspired millions, sparking the #IAmCaitlyn movement and raising unprecedented awareness about the plight of abused animals.
Her abuser was sentenced to five years in prison, a historic decision that set a precedent for the justice system to take animal cruelty cases seriously. However, Caitlyn’s legacy extended far beyond the courtroom. Through her resilience, she inspired the creation of the Charleston Animal Society’s anti-cruelty fund, which has since investigated hundreds of cruelty cases and provided care to countless abused animals.
As we remember Caitlyn and the countless other victims of animal cruelty, it is critical that her legacy continues to inspire action. Sign below and demand animal welfare organizations and advocates honor Caitlyn’s memory by amplifying their efforts to combat cruelty, support stronger animal protection laws, and ensure that no animal suffers in silence.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Attorney General Alan Wilson,
Caitlyn’s story of survival and resilience touched millions around the world and brought much-needed attention to the pervasive issue of animal cruelty. Her legacy, built through her recovery, advocacy, and the justice secured in her case, has become a beacon of hope for abused animals everywhere.
The #IAmCaitlyn movement and the creation of the Charleston Animal Society’s anti-cruelty fund are testaments to her impact. These efforts have driven awareness, investigations, and care for countless abused animals. However, Caitlyn’s passing reminds us that our fight against cruelty must persist and grow stronger.
We urge you to honor Caitlyn’s legacy by strengthening anti-cruelty initiatives, advocating for stricter laws, and expanding public education on preventing animal abuse. Let Caitlyn’s memory serve as a catalyst for lasting change, ensuring that no animal endures the suffering she once faced.
Thank you for your continued dedication to protecting and advocating for vulnerable animals. Together, we can ensure Caitlyn’s legacy lives on and inspires a kinder, more compassionate world.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
