Target: Heather Adams, District Attorney of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Goal: Pursue maximum legal penalties against those allegedly responsible for drowning innocent puppies in manure runoff.
Four defenseless puppies were allegedly subjected to a horrific end, drowned in thick cow manure runoff simply because they were not generating profit. The disturbing discovery came to light when an individual purportedly admitted ending the puppies’ lives as a matter of convenience. Heartbroken animal advocates have rallied in outrage over these grim details, calling for a swift and decisive response.
According to accounts, the puppies were not only denied the chance at loving homes, but they were also robbed of a humane end. This alleged act of cruelty highlights a callous disregard for life, stirring deep concern about the well-being of countless other animals who may be in similarly vulnerable conditions. Observers fear that allowing such behavior to go unchallenged might set a dangerous precedent for future treatment of companion animals.
Stronger measures and more vigilant enforcement of existing laws are necessary to deter people from committing such alleged abuses. The demand is clear: hold those apparently involved accountable for their actions, and send a resounding message that ending innocent lives so callously will not be tolerated.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Adams,
We, the undersigned, are writing to express our profound concern over the alleged drowning of four puppies in manure runoff. This act, reportedly carried out because the puppies were not viewed as profitable, has sparked widespread outrage and heartbreak in the community. Such disturbing details underscore the need for urgent action.
We implore your office to prioritize this case and ensure a thorough legal pursuit of any individuals allegedly responsible. When the lives of helpless animals are at stake, leniency or delay can undermine the seriousness of the allegations. It is vital that the justice system stand firmly against any reported disregard for the sanctity of life.
By seeking the maximum possible penalties, you can help deter further instances of abuse, safeguarding innocent creatures and making clear that cruelty will not be tolerated. We respectfully urge you to act decisively in pursuing justice for these dogs and for all vulnerable animals.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

What a selfish act of cruelty. Would it have been so difficult to take them to a shelter to have a chance to live with people who would love and care for them? When you begin to age and no one wishes to care for you, perhaps the same fate you gave those puppies will be given to you out of “convenience” That would be a tragedy.

couldn’t agree more, what a horrific way to die. This moron has shown no empathy towards any living being. They should be banned for life from owning animals, it takes a certain type of low life to murder animals with no regard for the pain and suffering they endured. Maximum punishment and jail time for ending their lives instead of surrendering them to a shelter to live the life that was callously stolen from them. Hope karma catches up and they have a miserable life …
Needs to be gut shot andthrown in that same manure pond and weighted down to his mouth and let him suffer till he drowns in it !!!
Profits be damned. This human needs to be drowned in manure.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Yes!!
Absolutely. drown the P.O.S. in the manure.
Do the same to these bastards!!!!!!!!
Death penalty for bastard killers,SOB,pieces of shit, cowards,burn in hell motherfuckers,kill them!
Justice for puppies!
Yess!!! WISH THIS WAS THE PUNISHMENT ALL EVIL ABUSERS WOULD GET!!! KARMA!!!!
So they couldn’t make this monster money and they had to be destroyed in such a horrible way. Death penalty….but oh no, we must not do that to a human. What a sick world we live in due to idiots like this.
Yes!!
SMELLS LIKE THE AMISH TO ME!!! THEY’RE ALWAYS RUNNING THE PUPPY MILLS HERE AND THEY’RE HORRIFIC!!! WE MUST GET RID OF THE REPUBLICANS WHO ALLOW THE AMISH TO TREAT THESE POOR BABIES LIKE PROPERTY!!!
No need disparage a political party! Animal abusers in every walk of life! No matter race, religion, color or what political party you are! This is horrific abuse to say the least!!
You’re missing the point. Yes abusers are from every walk of life, gender, religion etc. But it’s a fact that the Amish don’t believe animals have souls thus can be treated as they see fit. And they see fit to run puppy mills along with allowing overworked horses and other animals to die agonizing deaths. People think they’re so quaint and pious but the public needs to be enlightened about their chronic animal neglect and abuse.
You’re correct, it’s some inbred Amish freak.
Just when you think you have heard it all another horrific incident occurs. What a terribly cruel way to end these puppies lives. I agree, why couldn’t they have been taken to a shelter. The cruel person who did this needs to be punished to the full extent of the law.
NO animal deserves to be a victim of DEHUMANIZED, DESENSITIZED and MENTALLY-DERANGED SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS!!
NO animal-abuser should get away with such a horrific crime.
LAWMAKERS, stop these crimes by establishing harsh punishments for animal abuse! It’s your duty as humans.
Tormenting, neglecting and killing animals has a brutalizing effect on our society and mankind as a whole.
These pathological monsters must be severely punished. They must also be forbidden from coming near animals ever again.
SET a PRECEDENT, and punish to the full extent of the law!
MAX JAIL or DEATH PENALTY for these scumbags.
Those who are convicted of cruelty should never be allowed to come near animals again!
When will these backyard breeder Ba****ds be stopped??
What a horrible death!!
The judge should put him face first in manure and if that’s illegal, then, force them to sit in them to live in a manure barn for a month!! Seriously!! They laugh at fines!
This was an amishman named John Stoltzfus from New Holland. His case is dragging along in the local (Lancaster County) court system. The incident happened a year ago. Not sure where it stands currently.
Yep. Stoltzfus is a VERY common family name in Amish territory. I live in PA and these people are HORRIBLE to animals.
He should be drowned in a tub of shit himself – that’s the punishment he deserves.
Exactly. I live in Lancaster County also.
Which farm? There are so many Stoltzfus families around here. They need to be hit where their almighty dollar is from the locals. Locals meaning. All of us in the 5 county area and beyond. I deal with so many Stoltzfus’. I need to know specifically which one.
Linda,
I know Stoltzfus is a very common name in Lancaster County. I forget his exact address. Perhaps you could call the Lancaster County DA’s office and get his information? Or go online to get it? I am not sure exactly where though. Court dockets are public information, aren’t they? This all started in April 2024. And (not surprisingly) his court date kept being pushed back.
Plus he even had named them. They all had names beginning with the letter M. They were listed but this was a year ago and I forgot. They were 4 months old. Which makes this even more inconceivable. He (and they)had established a relationship with each other.
Yes – unfortunately with the punishment so weak for animal cruelty (not profitable – disgusting) we need to find out who exactly did this and locate them and as you say hit them with your idea of punishment.
Couldn’t those poor little puppies be given to an organisation for adoption??? What is wrong with these bastards.
Afoguem-no em esterco de igual forma!
Um monte de merda só pode ser tratado como o esterco de pessoa que ele é.
Enterrem-no vivo no mesmo esterco em que ele afogou os cachorrinhos. Esse tipo de gente não merece viver!
Lisabella, next time you make an inference please share actual proof and facts so that the appropriate and accurate action will be taken. I am familiar with the “Amish” as some of my early ancestors were Pennsylvania Dutch .and many are very good kind people and some aren’t; just like every other religious and cultural affiliation. I am able to understand why you stated that Republicans are responsible in charge as many conservative lawmakers (mainly MAGA), do not care about prosecuting animal rights abusers or strongly punishing animal rights abuses, this is fact. Again please be more specific to “who” exactly are the actual perpetrators are responsible, and “which”political figures in positions of authority are not doing their jobs. Many Republicans are fighting for justice for non humans and humans alike. I use my initials mostly so it is more anonymous in signing as the only way that we will see real change is informing people so that they may take aim using the rights actions.
The Amish are in the puppy mill business and they need to be investigated to see that their animals are well taken care of. There should be no exceptions, it was terrible and sad to hear how those pups died.
DROWN ALL THESE VERY CRUEL AND VERY ABUSIVE ASSHOLES IN COW MANURE UNTIL THEY ALL DIE AS THESE 4 INNOCENT DEFENSELESS PUPPIES DIED!! DO NOT SHOW ANY LENTIENCY FOR ANY OF THESE CRUL AND ABUSIVE ASSHOLES!!!!
These vile soulless excuse for humans should as well be eradicated in the same way, as they are no longer deemed to be an asset to society!
These sweet innocent puppies suffered unspeakably.
This extreme cruelty should be punished by law with equal severity. Otherwise you have dangerous vile perpetrators running around free. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE IN THAT!!!!!!!!!! WHERE DOES IT ESCALATE TO AND WHERE DOES IT END!
IT’S THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM’S JOB TO SEEK JUSTICE!!!!
I’m so sick of reading this sick shit
HANG THE MOTHER FUCKERS !!!!
Proven animal abusers — from neglect, mistreatment, hoarding, breeding, and abandonement, to fighting, bestiality, torture, mutilation, and murder — should, without exception, be punished by: (1) Their names and crimes being entered in the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) and in a centralized database of convicted animal abusers which every US State should have but only Tennessee does. Widespread adoption of these databases would be a game-changer in preventing crime against nonhumans. (2) A lifelong ban on owning or being near nonhuman animals in any capacity. (3) Payment of all veterinary, boarding, legal, and rehabilitation expenses, with confiscation of the perpetrator/s’ property if necessary.
Agree all comments drown these fuckers leave to rot in hell. People should not be allowed to own animals. Laws need to change to buy sell and breed animals. Give these bastards to public to deal with them. Justice dont do anything. Eye for a eye.
AN EYE FOR AN EYE! The same treatment!!
RIP sweet puppies you deserved so much better. 💔💔💔💔
WHAT A EVIL ASSHOLE FUCKER. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO FORCE THIS FUCKER TO EAT SO MUCH COW SHIT THAT IT WOULD SLOWLY CHOKE THIS EVIL FUCKING PRICK TO STOP BREATHING!! WHAT BEAUTIFUL KARMA. BUT, BE SURE THIS FUCKER IS D E A D BEFORE BURYING THIS PRICK IN HIS COW SHIT. BURN IN HELL FUCKER. WE WILL SEE IF COW SHIT IGNITES INSIDE YOUR USELESS ASS.
These SCUMBAGS need to go to prison. The state of Pennsylvania is low and disgusting for allowing this cruelty!
