Target: Brian Kerstetter, Union County, Pennsylvania District Attorney
Goal: Ensure maximum penalties for those reportedly responsible for the severe neglect and abandonment of a dog.
A heartbreaking case of apparent animal cruelty has emerged in Monroe, where a small shepherd mix was reportedly discarded in a crate behind a Dollar General dumpster. Police responding to the scene described the dog as severely neglected, with rescue efforts arriving too late to save its life.
Authorities have charged two individuals with felony animal cruelty and misdemeanor abandonment in connection to the case. Reports indicate that the dog was left without proper care, food, or water, ultimately succumbing to the neglect.
Such alleged acts of cruelty cannot go unanswered. Abandoning animals to suffer and die is not only heartless but also a criminal offense. By ensuring the maximum penalties for those found responsible, we can send a clear message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated. Urge authorities to seek full justice in this case and to advocate for stronger measures to prevent future neglect and abuse.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Kerstetter,
The recent case involving a severely neglected shepherd mix reportedly left in a crate behind a Dollar General dumpster in Monroe is deeply distressing. Despite the best efforts of rescuers, the dog tragically died before medical care could be provided.
Two individuals have been charged with felony animal cruelty and misdemeanor abandonment in connection with the case. These charges reflect the seriousness of the alleged actions, which left an innocent animal to suffer and die. The apparent abandonment of this defenseless dog exemplifies the need for strict enforcement of animal cruelty laws to prevent such inhumane acts in the future.
We respectfully urge your office to pursue the maximum penalties for those accused of this act of cruelty. Doing so will serve as a powerful statement that animal neglect and abuse have no place in our community. Moreover, we encourage efforts to raise awareness and strengthen measures to protect vulnerable animals from similar fates.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
