Target: Ansonia and Milford, Connecticut State Attorney Margaret E. Kelley
Goal: Give prison sentence to people who allegedly starved their animals.
Eleven dogs and three cats were allegedly starved and neglected by their owners. Two of the dogs were euthanized because of the reported neglect. Another dog was said to have been unfortunately found deceased. Javon Coverson and Assante Coverson were arrested on multiple animal cruelty charges as well as for not complying with requirements for owning a dog and for not complying with rabies ordinances. Police found and seized the animals after they obtained a search warrant for the house on an unrelated charge. The surviving dogs are currently receiving emergency medical treatment.
Some people in the surrounding community think the Coversons were operating a puppy mill, and police suspect that they have mistreated animals prior to the alleged incident. The Ansonia Animal Shelter is keeping the seized dogs in quarantine because the dogs were diagnosed with parvovirus. Other people are not able to take any animals that may need help to the shelter since the virus is highly contagious to other dogs and can be deadly. Therefore, if the Coversons are found to be responsible for mistreating these dogs, they may also be responsible for other dogs being left to fend for themselves since they are not able to be dropped off at the shelter.
Police have indicated that other people may be charged and arrested after a full investigation is completed. Sign this petition to demand anyone found guilty of this cruelty receive the maximum prison sentence.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear State Attorney Kelley,
Javon Coverson and Assante Coverson were arrested on charges of animal cruelty, not complying with rabies ordinances, and not complying with ordinance requirements for owning a dog when police visited their home on an unrelated charge. Police seized three cats and eleven dogs after they allegedly found the animals severely emaciated. Sadly, two of the dogs were reportedly so sick, they had to be euthanized. Reports state that another dog was also found dead inside the home. The other dogs are being held in quarantine because the veterinarian at Ansonia Animal Shelter diagnosed the animals with the parvovirus. Community members are not able to bring any animals to the shelter since the virus easily spreads, making it so more cats and dogs may end up abandoned in the streets as a result.
Police are still investigating the case and have said that more people may be charged and arrested in relation to the reported incident. Neighbors suspect the men were part of a puppy mill operation. Whatever the case may be, anyone who is found guilty of neglecting these innocent animals needs to be held accountable. I therefore demand you recommend that anyone found guilty of neglecting or abusing these animals receive the strictest punishment under law and insist they no longer be allowed to keep animals so that a similar future situation can hopefully be avoided.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Hang these TWO WORTHLESS NICCAS , but starve them first !!
Here’s the answer … STARVE THEM! If animals in their care were starved to death then do the same to these abusers, starve them to death. These stories and conditions are too many and the criminals don’t get what they deserve. Used to be the Bible said and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Then we became nice. This has opened the door to the wicked to take advantage and harm those who can not help themselves. Thus, people making the choice to hurt or kill and animal, must pay in the same manner so they will know the pain they caused. Let them scream in terror and cry in anguish and learn how it feels to be abused. Should they die? Good ridence.
I don’t know about prison time, what these two scum need is executing.
They deliberately starved and denied medical treatment for these animals in order to make profit for themselves. Despicable evil scum is what they are, and society would be better off without them. They are plain evil, but the law will no doubt be ineffective as usual when dealing with evil scum like these two. This modern world, with the internet, is producing sociopaths, totally selfish people without any compassion for any person or animal. There are also complete idiots who think that this kind of crime is an ‘illness’ and needs ‘counselling’. Frankly, I would prefer to get rid of both types!
Absolutely agree, Lesley. Why are we keeping this scum in gaol at the taxpayer’s expense to enjoy a comfortable life until let out to continue their animal torture. Likewise those who think they “need help”in the shape of counselling and so on. These people are EVIL and the trouble is that daft do-gooders always put this evil down to illness. It’s not, it’s evil but we aren’t allowed to say that any more!! The only “help” these sub humans need is a firing squad, preferably one which doesn’t hit the target straight away but puts a few bullets in various other body parts so they suffer as long as possible.
So called humans like them dont deserve to be free. They are soulless, vile, dangerous and useless to society. Keep them away from other living beings especially animals forever!
Hmm, prison time? Execution means they can never do it again though, and think of all the money you save the state!
