Target: Robert M. Carney, Schenectady County, NY District Attorney
Goal: Identify, arrest, and prosecute the person responsible for violently beating a dog on Union Street.
A violent act of animal cruelty has occurred after a gray-and-white pit bull mix was beaten on a city street, leaving the dog injured and prompting an active investigation. The incident took place on January 14, when the dog was assaulted in a public area, exposing a disturbing act of violence in a residential neighborhood.
Law enforcement, working alongside the New York State Humane Association, has released an image of the individual believed to be responsible and is urging the public to come forward with any information. A reward of $1,000 has been offered for tips that lead to an arrest and conviction. The image is unclear, but authorities believe someone may recognize the person or have critical details that could help solve the case.
Violence against animals is a serious crime and a warning sign that poses risks beyond animal welfare alone. This petition calls for swift identification of the attacker, full prosecution under New York animal cruelty laws, and a clear message that such acts will not be tolerated in the community.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Carney,
We are writing to express deep concern over the beating of a dog on Union Street, an act of violence that has shocked residents and prompted an active animal cruelty investigation. The dog, a gray-and-white pit bull mix, was harmed in a public space, underscoring the severity and brazenness of the offense.
Authorities have released an image of the individual they are seeking to identify and have offered a reward for information leading to an arrest. Acts of violence against animals are not isolated concerns; they threaten public safety and reflect a disregard for the law and basic decency.
We respectfully urge your office to prioritize this case, pursue all applicable animal cruelty charges once the individual is identified, and ensure that accountability is achieved. Strong prosecution is essential to protect animals and reinforce that cruelty has serious consequences.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
