Target: Elliot Kolkovich, Summit County, OH Prosecutor’s Office
Goal: Ensure man faces severe penalties for allegedly threatening to mutilate and cutting off the tails of newborn kittens.
Animal cruelty has once again shocked a community, this time with allegations involving Bret Stalnaker in Green, OH. Reports indicate that Stalnaker, 57, engaged in a disturbing incident that involved threats to cut off the tails of newborn kittens just a week old, as well as endangering their mother. It is purported that these horrific threats, communicated via text messages, escalated into physical violence culminating in the chilling act of throwing a container that contained severed kitten tails at a resident. Such actions are not only inhumane but demonstrate a profound disregard for the welfare of defenseless animals.
The details emerging from this incident are chilling and appear to highlight a serious pattern of abusive behavior. Stalnaker’s alleged threats and violent actions towards the kittens not only caused physical harm but also inflicted emotional distress on those who witnessed the aftermath. The very essence of animal cruelty is encapsulated in Stalnaker’s reported behavior, which indiscriminately targeted innocent lives and pushed the boundaries of acceptable conduct. Authorities have classified the charges against him as a fourth-degree felony.
Demanding justice in this case is crucial, not just to seek accountability for Stalnaker but also to signal that communities will not tolerate violence against animals. Stalnaker must face appropriate punishment to deter future acts of cruelty, sending a message that the safety and welfare of vulnerable animals are paramount. It is imperative that the legal system responds decisively to these alarming allegations, ensuring that Stalnaker is held fully accountable for his actions.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecutor Walsh,
The recent allegations against Bret Stalnaker, accused of threatening to mutilate newborn kittens and subsequently throwing a container containing their severed tails, have left the community of Green in shock. His actions, as described in police reports, demonstrate a terrifying potential for violence against vulnerable creatures who rely on humans for safety. We urge you to consider the full extent of Stalnaker’s alleged behavior as you prosecute these charges.
The heinous nature of these threats—targeting defenseless newborn kittens and their mother—cannot be understated. Not only do these acts seem to reflect a disturbing mentality towards animals, but they also indicate a broader societal issue of cruelty that must be addressed. Stalnaker’s reported actions evoke fear and demand a firm response from the legal system to protect both animals and the community.
We urge your office to pursue the maximum penalties allowable under the law for these alleged acts of cruelty. Strong and decisive action is necessary to ensure justice not only for the innocent kittens but also to reinforce our community’s commitment to protecting animal welfare. Together, we can send a powerful message: cruelty towards animals will not be tolerated.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

If they would just throw these people in jail and give them long-term sentences it would serve as an example to other animal abusers who would then know if they are going to abuse animals they’re going to get long-term prison sentences I bet you anything that would discourage a lot of people from hurting animals.
This felony should be bumped up to a third degree or second degree it is maiming an animal and that is cruel
