Target: David Leyton, Genesee County, MI Prosecutor
Goal: Pursue full accountability after animals were allegedly left in prolonged neglect among dead bodies and hazardous ammonia-filled conditions.
A deeply disturbing discovery has reportedly revealed dozens of animals were confined inside a residence where many others were found dead, suggesting prolonged neglect and severe suffering. Authorities say they encountered more than sixty living dogs alongside numerous deceased animals and at least one dead cat. The alleged presence of feces, rotting debris, and animals placed in trash bags near an entrance paints a harrowing picture of conditions.
Responders reportedly struggled to breathe inside the structure due to extreme ammonia levels and overwhelming odor, conditions described as unsafe for both humans and animals. Witness accounts characterized the environment as horrific, reinforcing concern that surviving animals may have endured sustained exposure to toxic air, fear, hunger, or untreated illness.
Because companion animals rely entirely on human guardians for food, sanitation, and medical care, any prolonged deprivation or exposure to lethal conditions demands decisive legal scrutiny. A thorough investigation and meaningful prosecution are essential to protect surviving animals, deter future neglect, and affirm that such suffering will not be ignored.
PETITION LETTER:
Prosecutor Leyton,
We write to express grave concern regarding reports that numerous animals were discovered living inside a residence alongside dozens of dead animals under hazardous and unsanitary conditions. Survivors were allegedly exposed to toxic ammonia levels, accumulated waste, and an environment that may indicate prolonged neglect and preventable suffering. Authorities described the scene as among the worst encountered in similar investigations, with dead animals placed in trash bags and living animals confined within air deemed unsafe to breathe.
We respectfully urge your office to conduct a comprehensive investigation, pursue full prosecution wherever evidence substantiates wrongdoing, and seek penalties sufficient to protect animals from any recurrence of neglect. Strong legal action is essential to safeguard defenseless creatures and uphold humane standards of care.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
