Target: Nicole Ziccarelli, Westmoreland County District Attorney
Goal: Ensure appropriate punishment for the alleged torture, malnutrition, and killing of dogs by two individuals.
Dozens of disturbing videos surfaced depicting the alleged abuse of dogs by two individuals from Monessen, suggesting a horrific pattern of violence, torture, and even the killing of innocent animals within their home. Reports indicate that these acts included beating the dogs mercilessly, throwing them to the ground, and subjecting them to neglect and extreme malnourishment. Tragically, while three dogs were found alive, they were reportedly in a severely malnourished state, and the bodies of two deceased dogs were allegedly discovered buried on the property. Such actions are not only brutal but also indicative of a profound disregard for animal welfare.
The investigation was initiated following a tip from a neighbor who submitted nearly 60 videos over several months that allegedly document these acts of animal abuse. The footage apparently shows graphic instances of aggression, including someone reportedly grabbing dogs by their scruff and violently slamming them to the ground. The community was left horrified upon learning of these events, as many residents suspected something was amiss. This shocking abuse can no longer be tolerated.
Justice must be served, and there is a dire need for appropriate legal action against those responsible for this alleged cruelty. It is imperative that the Westmoreland County District Attorney’s Office pursues maximum penalties for Douglas White and Mackinzie Orndoff for their alleged crimes against these defenseless animals. Such cruelty must not be dismissed; it requires a firm response that ensures both accountability and a strong message that animal abuse is unacceptable.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Ziccarelli,
I write to bring attention to the deeply troubling case of Douglas White and Mackinzie Orndoff, who are currently facing serious charges for the alleged abuse, torture, and killing of dogs in Monessen. Disturbing videos have surfaced apparently depicting horrific acts, including beating and neglecting animals to the point of severe malnourishment, with three surviving dogs found in a distressed state and two dead dogs buried on their property.
Neighbors alerted authorities after witnessing graphic evidence of the abuse, including multiple clips that seemed to show individuals grabbing dogs by their scruff and violently throwing them against the ground. The reports from Chief David Yuhasz underline the shocking nature of these allegations and the need for immediate and decisive legal action. This type of cruelty is not only a violation of animal rights but signals a broader societal issue regarding how we treat those who are vulnerable and defenseless.
It is essential that the Westmoreland County District Attorney’s Office pursues the most severe penalties against those involved in this horrific case. We must send a strong message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated and that those who commit such acts will face appropriate consequences. Justice for these animals requires your urgent attention and action.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
