Target: Christina Pearson, District Attorney of Montgomery County, New York
Goal: Seek the maximum lawful sentence, a lifelong animal-ownership ban, counseling, and restitution after a dog was allegedly hurled from a porch and left with two leg fractures.
Reports indicate a young dog was picked up during a domestic dispute and thrown from a porch, leaving the animal with two fractures in one leg.Witnesses described the violent act, and the injured dog was rushed for emergency veterinary care. The incident has sparked community outrage and renewed calls for meaningful consequences in apparent cruelty cases.
The suspect was arrested on a felony aggravated animal cruelty charge and later released on an appearance ticket. Investigators said the individual admitted to intentionally injuring the dog during an interview. While the case proceeds, the victim animal is recovering under veterinary supervision. Such allegations, if proven, reflect calculated harm that causes severe pain, fear, and lasting trauma.
To protect animals and deter future abuse, accountability must match the gravity of the reported conduct. Prosecutors can lawfully pursue a sentence that includes incarceration where appropriate, a lifetime ban on owning or living with animals, mandated psychological evaluation and anger-management counseling, strict no-contact conditions, and full restitution for veterinary bills and care. This petition urges the District Attorney to seek the toughest permissible penalties if the allegations are proven in court.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Christina Pearson,
We respectfully urge your office to pursue the strongest lawful penalties in the case in which a dog was allegedly thrown from a porch during a domestic dispute, resulting in two leg fractures and emergency veterinary treatment. Witness accounts and law-enforcement describe a disturbing incident of apparent intentional harm to a defenseless animal.
Authorities arrested the suspect on a felony aggravated animal-cruelty charge, and investigators have stated the individual admitted to intentionally injuring the dog during an interview. If these allegations are proven, the conduct reflects purposeful cruelty that inflicts intense suffering and undermines community safety.
Please seek the maximum sentence permitted by law and request a lifetime prohibition on owning or residing with animals, court-ordered psychological evaluation and counseling, strict no-contact terms, and full restitution for veterinary costs and related care. A firm, public outcome will help safeguard animals, deter copycat offenses, and affirm that deliberate cruelty will not be tolerated.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
