Target: Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Kings County, New York
Goal: Ensure full prosecution and meaningful penalties after a man was accused of severely neglecting 23 dogs in confined and unsafe conditions.
A deeply troubling animal cruelty case has come to light after authorities arrested a man accused of severely neglecting 23 dogs inside his apartment. Animal welfare officers removed 17 puppies and six adult dogs from the residence, where they were allegedly kept without adequate care, space, or sustenance. The dogs’ condition raised serious concerns about prolonged neglect and suffering.
Court filings state that the accused now faces dozens of animal cruelty–related charges, including counts for failure to provide proper food, drink, and humane living conditions. Neighbors had reportedly raised concerns months earlier after observing the dogs in distress, underscoring fears that the alleged neglect persisted over an extended period before intervention occurred.
When animals are confined in overcrowded and unsanitary environments, the consequences can include physical injury, disease, psychological trauma, and death. Sign below to demand timely enforcement of animal protection laws and decisive action.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Gonzalez,
We are writing to express grave concern regarding the case involving a man accused of severely neglecting 23 dogs kept in confined conditions over an extended period. Animal welfare authorities removed 17 puppies and six adult dogs from his residence, and the accused now faces multiple charges related to cruelty and failure to provide adequate care.
The scale of this alleged neglect is alarming. Dogs kept in overcrowded and unsanitary environments are subjected to unnecessary suffering and long-term harm. Community members had reportedly expressed concern about the animals’ condition months prior, highlighting the seriousness and duration of the alleged misconduct.
We respectfully urge your office to pursue this case to the fullest extent of the law and seek penalties that reflect the gravity of the alleged neglect. Strong prosecution is essential to protect animals, uphold public trust, and send a clear message that large-scale neglect will not be tolerated.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
