Target: Esther Suarez, Hudson County Prosecutor, New Jersey
Goal: Ensure that the individual accused of killing a goose with his e-bike is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
A shocking incident of animal cruelty recently occurred in Hoboken, New Jersey, when a man allegedly drove his e-bike into a goose, killing the defenseless bird. Witnesses immediately called 911 after seeing Andrew Mullins, 30, seemingly intentionally strike the goose near Pier A Park on Sinatra Drive. The bird was rushed to an animal hospital but tragically did not survive its injuries.
Hoboken police identified and arrested Mullins shortly after the alleged incident, charging him with animal cruelty, a misdemeanor that carries a potential penalty of six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Mullins also received a summons for riding his e-bike on a pedestrian walkway.
This isn’t the first time Mullins has had run-ins with the law. He has a history of criminal activity, including a separate incident earlier this year allegedly involving an attempted murder charge and possession of brass knuckles.
This alleged act of animal cruelty highlights the importance of ensuring that those who commit such crimes face appropriate legal consequences. A life, no matter how small, was seemingly taken violently and without reason, and it’s crucial to send a clear message that cruelty against animals will not be tolerated. Take immediate action.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecutor Esther Suarez,
I am writing to express my concern regarding the recent case of animal cruelty in Hoboken, New Jersey, in which a man allegedly struck and killed a goose with his e-bike. This tragic incident occurred near Pier A Park on Sinatra Drive, and the accused, Andrew Mullins, has been charged with animal cruelty after being identified by witnesses.
The allegedly violent nature of this act, combined with Mullins’ history of criminal activity, makes it clear that this individual must be held accountable for his actions. The seemingly malevolent death of this innocent goose serves as a reminder of the importance of ensuring justice for all victims of cruelty, whether human or animal.
I urge you to prosecute Mullins to the fullest extent of the law and ensure that he faces the legal consequences of his actions, if found guilty. Additionally, I hope this case serves as a strong deterrent for future incidents of animal abuse in Hoboken and beyond.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
