Target: Jason MacBride, District Attorney for Ontario County, NY
Goal: Prosecute woman accused of severe neglect of pet cats to fullest extent.
A New York woman faced an eye-popping 144 animal cruelty counts. Suspect Corinne Speights is accused of failing to provide four cats under her care with food or any other nourishment. Authorities reported untenable living conditions.
The residence was apparently littered with both dog and cat waste. Three cats were removed from the premises. No information was reported about any of the other animals who may have been on-site or about the level of charges.
Sign the petition below to demand prosecutors stay vigilant in pursuing justice.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA MacBride,
New York has made major strides in strengthening its animal cruelty statutes. The recent case of Corinne Speights merits a strong response. This suspect is accused of depriving her pets of food and drink for at least 18 days. Every animal should have been immediately removed from this allegedly dangerous environment.
The resulting 144 counts of cruelty demonstrate that your office appears to be taking this case seriously. Please follow through by pursuing maximum charges and ensuring all involved animals are safeguarded.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
