Target: Robert M. Carney, Schenectady County, NY District Attorney
Goal: Identify, arrest, and prosecute the individual caught abusing a dog on camera.
Authorities have reported a deeply troubling case of animal abuse after a video surfaced appearing to show a man physically harming a dog at a residential property. According to Schenectady Animal Control, screenshots taken from a Ring camera video depict what they have described as a highly disturbing act of abuse. The footage has prompted an urgent appeal to the public for help identifying the individual involved.
The video was discovered and shared by animal control officials, who stated that the abuse occurred in the Union Street area. The identity of the man and the dog remains unknown, raising serious concerns about the animal’s current safety and wellbeing. Without swift identification, the dog may remain in a dangerous environment with continued risk of harm.
When acts of cruelty are captured on video yet go unanswered, it sends a dangerous signal that abuse can occur without consequence. Immediate investigation, public cooperation, and strong prosecution are essential to protect the animal involved and to deter similar acts. This petition calls for all available resources to be used to identify the suspect and to pursue full accountability under animal cruelty laws.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Carney,
We are writing to express grave concern over reports that a man was captured on camera abusing a dog at a residential property. The video footage has been described as highly disturbing and has prompted an urgent public appeal for identification.
The fact that the individual and the dog have not yet been identified raises serious fears for the animal’s safety. Acts of violence toward animals often escalate, and delay in intervention can result in continued suffering or even death.
We respectfully urge your office to work closely with animal control and law enforcement to identify the suspect as quickly as possible and to pursue all appropriate charges if the evidence supports them. Strong action is necessary to protect the animal who suffered and to make clear that cruelty caught on camera will not be ignored.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
