Target: Jennifer Schorn, Bucks County, PA District Attorney
Goal: Ensure appropriate punishment for woman who allegedly fled country after keeping over 100 farm animals in filth.
The case of Abigail Tuttle O’Keeffe has emerged as one of the most disturbing instances of animal cruelty in Bucks County history. Allegedly, O’Keeffe fled the United States after over 100 farm animals were seized from her property due to extremely poor living conditions. Witness reports indicated that many animals were found sick and dying, with a disturbing number of deaths attributed to neglect. The Bucks County SPCA has described the conditions at Narrow Way Farm as “filthy,” with dead animals on the premises and signs that young animals were dying suddenly.
Veterinary examinations revealed that the animals had apparently suffered extensively, with multiple sheep and goats suffering from a heavy parasite load due in part to their environment. Some animals were diagnosed with foot scald, which, while treatable, indicates gross negligence in care. Many were also reported to be underweight and malnourished, having been fed an inadequate diet. O’Keeffe’s flight from the country only added to the severity of her actions, as she reportedly left without arranging for the care of the suffering animals, displaying a complete disregard for their welfare.
The demand for justice in this case is not only about punishing O’Keeffe but also about sending a clear message that such cruelty towards animals will not be tolerated. It is imperative that the legal system impose significant consequences for this alleged behavior, which seemingly inflicted immense suffering on many innocent animals. Therefore, appropriate punishment must be sought for Abigail Tuttle O’Keeffe to ensure accountability and protect future victims of similar cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Schorn,
The case against Abigail Tuttle O’Keeffe highlights a harrowing example of alleged animal cruelty that demands immediate and serious attention. Reports claim that over 100 farm animals were seized from Narrow Way Farm due to appalling living conditions that included sick and dying animals, filth, and neglect. The apparent suffering of these animals, including some dying from a severe parasite load, calls for a strong response from the legal system.
O’Keeffe’s actions, as reported, suggest a gross violation of animal welfare standards, exacerbated by her decision to flee the country when confronted with allegations of this nature. The reported findings of dead animals and those suffering from treatable conditions, all compounded by malnutrition, paint a deeply disturbing picture of what transpired at her farm. It is essential that justice is served not only for the animals who suffered but also to establish a precedent that such behavior will be met with appropriate consequences.
We urge you to ensure that O’Keeffe faces the most severe penalties available under the law for the alleged cruelty inflicted upon these vulnerable creatures. It is crucial that the message is clear: animal neglect and cruelty are unacceptable, and those who choose to ignore the welfare of animals must be held accountable.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
