Target: Todd Thompson, County Attorney, Leavenworth County, KS
Goal: Ensure appropriate punishment for those allegedly responsible for the cruelty faced by a severely malnourished poodle.
The disturbing case involving Jessica and Amanda Fleer has brought to light the appalling treatment of an innocent poodle found abandoned on a country road. Reportedly, the two women are responsible for the neglect leading to this dog’s severe malnourishment, flea infestation, and matted fur. This incident highlights a grave lack of responsibility and care towards an animal that relies entirely on human guardians for its well-being, leaving the community shocked and outraged.
After being found by a concerned driver, the emaciated poodle required immediate veterinary care. Court records indicate that both women have already been found guilty of animal cruelty, with a sentencing hearing approaching. However, with neither woman currently incarcerated, the lack of immediate accountability raises significant concerns about the effectiveness of justice in protecting vulnerable animals from such horrific treatment.
It is crucial that appropriate measures are taken to ensure that those who fail to provide even the most basic standards of care for animals face severe consequences. Allowing the Fleers to evade appropriate punishment risks sending a message that animal cruelty may not be taken seriously. The community deserves assurance that justice will prevail, and that animal cruelty will not be tolerated. It is vital to demand stringent sentencing to reflect the gravity of this situation.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mr. Thompson,
The case involving Jessica and Amanda Fleer, who have both been convicted of animal cruelty against a defenseless poodle, raises grave concerns about the treatment of animals in our community. The appalling neglect that the poodle experienced, including severe malnourishment and infestation, paints a picture of a complete disregard for the responsibility that comes with pet ownership. The fact that these women have not yet faced immediate incarceration is alarming, as this sends the wrong message about the seriousness of animal cruelty.
Animal welfare advocates stand united in the expectation that those who visibly fail to care for an animal will face just consequences. The evident suffering of the poodle, neglected to the point of requiring urgent medical attention, cannot go unaddressed. The community expects accountability and a clear stance against those who choose to harm the innocent creatures that rely on us for care.
It is imperative that appropriate legal action is taken during the upcoming sentencing hearing to reflect the severity of the harm caused. We urge you to seek the strictest possible penalties against Jessica and Amanda Fleer to ensure that justice is served and that such horrific incidents are not repeated in the future.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
