Target: Steve Franzen, County Attorney for Campbell County, Kentucky
Goal: Impose the maximum legal consequences on an individual accused of killing at least 36 dogs and committing massive fraud.
The alleged actions of a self-described rescue operator have horrified animal advocates. This individual apparently manipulated donors and dog owners, promising to rehabilitate rescued or troubled canines, only to euthanize or “disappear” numerous animals—at least 36, per evidence gathered. Some families apparently never learned of their dog’s fate until months later, causing deep emotional distress. Financial records apparently reveal fraud, as well, with donations seemingly spent on personal luxuries instead of animal care.
Law enforcement, assisted by concerned citizens, has built a case against the accused, who is said to have deceived multiple shelters, veterinarians, and unsuspecting owners. According to investigators, he used his public image as a champion for animal welfare to collect significant sums of money while quietly euthanizing or neglecting many of the canines placed in his charge. Others seemingly went missing, never to be accounted for. Observers fear that insufficient penalties could embolden similar exploitative behaviors and further endanger animals.
The apparent scale of this operation, spanning multiple states, underscores the urgency for a robust prosecution and for strong legal deterrence. It is vital to safeguard pets from exploitation and cruelty disguised as rescue. Sign below and demand full accountability to ensure that those who allegedly betrayed the trust of these vulnerable animals face serious repercussions.
‘PETITION LETTER:’
Dear Attorney Steve Franzen,
A self-described dog rescue operator may have been responsible for the deaths or disappearances of dozens of dogs. Evidence suggests he exploited public trust by posing as a charitable champion of neglected animals, only to euthanize or allow them to vanish under suspicious circumstances. This individual also reportedly misappropriated donations intended for animal care, further underscoring the suspected scale of deception.
Such allegations of widespread betrayal and cruelty demand an unyielding legal response. Failure to fully pursue this matter may send the harmful message that vulnerable animals can be exploited for personal or financial gain without real consequences.
We urge you to press ahead with a thorough prosecution and to seek the maximum penalties permitted by law, if these accusations are confirmed by the evidence. The well-being of countless current and future pets may rely on the seriousness with which these disturbing reports are addressed.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
