Target: James Uthmeier Attorney General of Florida
Goal: Ensure appropriate punishment for dog trainer allegedly responsible for multiple instances of cruelty resulting in dog deaths and injuries.
The disturbing case surrounding Palm City, FL dog trainer Nikki Camerlengo highlights an alarming pattern of alleged negligence and cruelty in the treatment of animals under her care. Camerlengo has been charged with two counts of animal cruelty following the reported deaths of at least two dogs while in her custody, and a WFLX investigation uncovered claims from multiple pet owners asserting that their dogs died or sustained severe injuries during training sessions at her facility.
Further compounding the gravity of the situation, public records reveal multiple animal control citations against Camerlengo for allegedly keeping animals confined in crates without access to water—a basic necessity for any living creature. The timeline of these events has been painfully drawn out; nearly a year and a half has passed since her first arrest in June 2024, during which time further reported tragedies have unfolded, sparking outrage among the community and pet owners alike. The lack of accountability for these alleged actions must not persist, and there is an urgent need for justice for the animals and their grieving families.
Taking action against animal cruelty is vital for ensuring a safe environment for future pets and discouraging irresponsible practices within the dog training industry. It is essential that officials pursue this case aggressively and applies the full extent of the law to hold the alleged offender accountable for her actions. The demand is clear: appropriate punishment must be meted out for the animal cruelty charges filed against Camerlengo.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear AG Uthmeier,
The case against Nikki Camerlengo has raised serious allegations of animal cruelty that cannot be ignored. Her facility has been the subject of multiple complaints from pet owners whose dogs have allegedly died or been severely injured while in her care. The tragic loss of these beloved animals is not an isolated incident; it necessitates immediate and thorough investigation and prosecution to ensure the safety of other pets and to uphold the standards of care expected in the dog training industry.
Furthermore, the documented history of alleged animal control violations involving Camerlengo, including animals kept in crates without access to water, underscores a chilling pattern of neglect and potentially unlawful behavior. The community remains on high alert, and the justice system must respond appropriately to these serious charges in order to serve as a deterrent against future acts of alleged cruelty. The apparent lack of accountability thus far is both troubling and unacceptable.
As concerned citizens who care deeply for the welfare of animals, we urge your office to take decisive action in this case. Pursue the prosecution of Nikki Camerlengo to the fullest extent of the law to ensure that justice is served for the countless animals that have seemingly suffered under her care. Let the message be clear: animal cruelty will not be tolerated, and those responsible must face appropriate consequences.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
