Target: Raymond A. Tierney, Suffolk County, New York District Attorney
Goal: Take action against sanctuary reportedly responsible for starving animals and apparently leaving them to live among corpses.
A facility calling itself a sanctuary has been charged with over a hundred counts of animal neglect. Accounts describe animals living in squalor and being severely underfed. In some instances, animals were apparently housed alongside the bodies of their deceased companions, with indications of ongoing malnutrition and denial of vital medical care.
Allegations include skeletal animals discovered in a fragile state and a claim that some perished due to an absence of food, water, or adequate shelter. Observers, who had been pressing for intervention, say they discovered multiple rotting remains. The operation’s leadership denies these accusations, yet the reported conditions have outraged animal protection advocates who believe urgent remedial action is needed to save the survivors from a similar fate.
Robust legal measures, if warranted by the facts, are critical to ensure no more innocent beings suffer in this setting. Those entrusted with providing sanctuary to vulnerable animals must be held accountable if they fail in this essential duty, and the facility shut down if warranted by the evidence. Demand that the individuals involved face suitable penalties and that the affected animals are given a safe environment where they may recover.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Tierney,
Reports have surfaced of widespread animal neglect and possible starvation at a facility calling itself a sanctuary. Allegations describe severely underfed creatures forced to inhabit the same spaces as the decomposing remains of their deceased companions. Investigations have led to the filing of over a hundred neglect-related charges against the individuals believed to have overseen these alleged conditions.
Such chilling claims, if borne out by conclusive evidence, would illustrate a disturbing disregard for living creatures. Animals in a supposed sanctuary setting depend on consistent nourishment, medical assistance, and safe shelter to survive. Depriving them of these essentials represents a shocking betrayal of trust.
I respectfully urge you to pursue every legal avenue necessary to secure maximum penalties for anyone determined to be involved, and to prioritize relocation efforts for the animals left in peril. In doing so, you can help reaffirm the principle that cruelty toward defenseless beings cannot go unpunished.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
