Target: Roy Cooper, Governor of North Carolina
Goal: Strengthen animal cruelty laws after puppy was found with horrific scars and burn injuries.
In a heartbreaking case of animal cruelty, a puppy named Joy was found on the streets of Greensboro, North Carolina, with severe injuries that rescuers believe were the result of abuse. Joy, who is estimated to be about four months old, was taken in by the Perfectly Imperfect Pups Rescue in Raleigh, where founder Nicole Kincaid and her team are working to help her heal.
Joy’s injuries are alarming: chemical burns down her back, scars from where her mouth was tied shut, and damage to one of her eyes so severe it will need to be removed. Kincaid believes Joy’s injuries were caused by intentional harm, as her wounds do not align with the types of injuries typically seen in car accidents. Unfortunately, because the puppy was found on the streets, it is difficult to determine who is responsible for this cruel act.
Animal cruelty cases like Joy’s highlight the need for stronger laws and more stringent enforcement to prevent such abuse from happening again. We must demand that North Carolina’s animal cruelty laws are revised to impose harsher penalties on abusers and ensure that anyone responsible for such inhumane treatment of animals is held accountable. Take immediate action.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Governor Cooper,
I am writing to express my deep concern over the recent case of animal abuse involving a puppy named Joy, who was found on the streets of Greensboro with severe injuries, including chemical burns, a damaged eye, and scars from where her mouth was tied shut. The cruelty that Joy endured is unimaginable, and her story underscores the urgent need for stronger animal cruelty laws in North Carolina.
Cases like Joy’s demonstrate that more must be done to protect animals from abuse and ensure that those who harm them face the maximum legal penalties. Strengthening North Carolina’s animal cruelty laws will help deter future incidents of abuse and send a clear message that such cruelty will not be tolerated.
I urge you to take immediate action to revise and strengthen the state’s animal cruelty laws to ensure that those responsible for such inhumane treatment are held accountable. This is not just a matter of enforcing the law; it is about upholding compassion and ensuring the safety of animals across our state.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Our society seems to be filled with insane people who take out their anger on innocent, non threatening animals. What cowards! These monsters need to be found thus an ongoing investigation is a must! Our prisons do not seem effective in deterring these horrible people. We can’t seem to stop them. I feel what they give is what they should receive. They muzzled this poor puppy, threw chemicals on the back of the puppy, and beat the puppy badly causing the loss of one eye. DO THIS TO THESE MONSTERS! It sounds horrible and it is horrible but others who think of doing this to innocent animals would finally realize what they do will be done to them. All involved must endure the loss of an eye. They must also have their mouths taped shut while they feel the burn of chemicals down their backs with no hope of medical assistance. This type of treatment is what is deserved and must take place for all these cruel actions to stop!
HANG THESE EVIL GOOD FOR NOTHING PUTRID SCUM!!!! THEY ARE THE ONES THAT NEED TO SUFFER (A LOT)!
ANIMAL TORTURERS ARE THE MOST EVIL THING ON EARTH… THEY ARE VIOLENT TO HUMANS AS WELL! THEY DESERVE NOTHING LESS THAN THE DEATH PENALTY! SERIOUSLY THEY DO NOT BELONG ON PLANET EARTH!
HOW PERFECT THE WORLD WOULD BE WITHOUT ALL THESE FUCKING EVIL MONSTERS!
I SINCERELY HOPE HOPE THAT JOY FINDS A LOVING CARING FUREVER HOME XXXX BLESS YOU JOY XXXXXXX
