Target: Jennifer M. Schorn, District Attorney of Bucks County
Goal: Ensure man is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for allegedly killing his dog and threatening lives.
The reported actions of Matthew Spanburgh are both shocking and deeply disturbing. Allegedly, Spanburgh drowned his Belgian shepherd in a bathtub after asserting that the dog had previously knocked down his three-month-old child. The horrifying scene reportedly uncovered by police, with blood evident on the dog’s mouth and nose, seemingly illustrates a severe instance of animal cruelty that cannot be overlooked. Additionally, it appears threats from Spanburgh to kill both his estranged wife and police officers indicate a disturbing escalation of violence and instability.
Further investigation details indicate that prior to this tragic incident, Spanburgh was apparently already displaying concerning behavior, including sending alarming text messages to his estranged wife and her family expressing intentions to harm them if they did not comply with his demands regarding their son. Such statements not only reinforce his alleged animal cruelty but also reflect a potential threat to human life, creating an urgent need for intervention. It’s imperative for those in positions of authority to respond decisively to such acts of violence, particularly when a pattern of threatening behavior is evidenced.
The demand for appropriate justice is crucial in this case. The alleged cruelty demonstrated towards this dog cannot be excused, and those who engage in such heinous acts should face significant consequences. Punishing Spanburgh harshly for this alleged animal cruelty while ensuring that the threats made against human life are also addressed is necessary for community safety and the welfare of animals.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney,
Matthew Spanburgh is facing serious felony charges after allegedly taking the life of his dog and threatening the lives of his estranged wife and police officers. The details of this case are deeply troubling, especially the reported act of drowning his Belgian shepherd—a creature that had simply been a part of his family. The scene reportedly discovered by police, with blood evident on the dog’s mouth and nose, reflects cruelty that must be addressed with the utmost seriousness.
Moreover, Spanburgh’s alleged threats to kill his estranged wife and law enforcement officers illustrate an apparent dangerous pattern of violence that cannot be ignored. The threats he seemingly made regarding violent actions against them place not only his family but also the broader community at risk.
It is imperative that justice is served by prosecuting Spanburgh to the fullest extent of the law. Such actions must be met with appropriate accountability to protect both individuals and animals in our society.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
