PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Freitas,
The reported discovery of over 27 deceased horses and numerous malnourished animals on a property in Clements is deeply disturbing. According to rescuers, the animals suffered from extreme neglect, with limited access to food and water. Veterinarians and animal services officers say they had to euthanize four horses and one bull due to the severity of their condition, while 16 surviving horses are now in the care of professionals.
Animal cruelty cases demand swift and severe legal action. These defenseless animals seemingly endured significant suffering, and their tragic deaths highlight the critical need for accountability and stronger preventive measures. It is essential to send a clear message that such apparent acts of neglect and abuse will not be tolerated in our community.
We urge you to prosecute the individual reportedly involved to the fullest extent of the law and to advocate for harsher penalties for egregious acts of animal cruelty. Justice for these animals will not only honor their lives but also help deter future acts of neglect and abuse.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
