Target: Joseph Stanzione, District Attorney, Greene County, NY
Goal: Prosecute woman accused of trying to decapitate her dog.
A female Australian Cattle dog narrowly survived an alleged attack by her owner, who apparently attempted to decapitate the dog with a sword. The accused is a 67 year-old woman from Cairo, New York. In addition to the alleged decapitation attempt, the woman is also accused of stabbing the dog numerous times.
After the attack, the dog was reportedly left alone for eight hours to bleed to death. However, incredibly, the dog survived long enough to be rescued and was taken to a local veterinary hospital for emergency surgery.
Miraculously, the dog has so far survived and is under the protection of the Columbia-Greene Humane Society. The woman also owned five other dogs who have been temporarily removed from the home.
Although the woman was arrested and charged with felony aggravated cruelty to animals, she has since been released without bond.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Joseph Stanzione,
A woman in your jurisdiction is accused of attempting to decapitate her own dog with a sword. She also is accused of stabbing her dog multiple times and leaving it for eight hours to bleed to death.
If these allegations are true, this person needs to be prosecuted fully and either sent to prison for a long time, or potentially provided serious mental health services.
I respectfully ask that you devote all available resources to ensure this case is fully investigated and pursued to a just completion.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

I agree with all the posters above except for “Clearly a Democrat.” I’m a Democrat and a huge animal lover. In no way would I ever harm a human or a dog. My husband and I have taken in dogs from other people who were going to euthanize their dogs. We gave them a “forever home.” How dare you think that Democrats would do something like this. This poor dog and the others taken from this misfit should never be given back to that monster and she should never have anymore animals in her possession. Children should be kept away from her, also. The judge should throw the book at her for the attempted murder of this poor dog. And, take the damn sword from her, too.
I fully agree!!!
Agree. Keep politics out of it. This evil woman, Pauline Waldron needs to be locked up, barred from having animals for life AND must pay for the dogs care. Evil to leave him laying to die for 8 hours.
Ah, they did not charge her a bond. That bond if given should have been $1 million. She cannot pay 10% of it? Who cares.
Blessings to you and your husband Susan for being the caring people you are.
This woman must be prosecuted to the absolute fullest extent… No excuses for not doing that! She should be in jail for 20 years for attempted murder or perhaps she succeeded.
I am beyond horrified for this dog! Dogs feel exactly the way you and I do and the terror and the pain that this dog and Dored is despicable, sickening, and a reprehensible.
Please, I AM LITERALLY BEGGING YOU TO PUT THIS WOMAN BEHIND BARS FOR 20 YEARS And she should never be allowed to be around animals or children! Again, I am pleading with you!!!
This should go well beyond the fullest extent of the law.
If this animal abuse is not considered a felony, then what animal abuse is considered a felony? What happened to the federal law that made animal abuse a felony? Don’t tell me Biden reversed that too due to advice from his socialist buddies while he was signing executive orders his first or any day of his time in office.
Leave it to a MAGAt to throw unsubstantiated claims out there. How do you feel about the Trump boys killing lions, leopards and other exotic animals? Grow the hell up.
Boys is right. And they are cowards and not hella bright. Thankfully trump is out. Life without parole for those trump boys.
I wonder why tRump supporters always seem so very stupid? Where are their compassion for animals when jr illegally murdered an endangered wild animal? Such hypocrisy. BTW, I wondered very much why animal abusers were getting away with it if there were such a law under tRump. Apparently it was useless.
Because racism and speciesism go hand in hand the vast majority of the time.
This woman is insane and needs to be prosecuted. I don’t care what happens to her but the animals must never go back to her.
I so agree!!
They let a woman who is clearly nuts out on bail! Don’t think I’d care to live in that area.
Shocking and proof animals have no protection or rights to safety in New York. They need to charge her for the dogs care.
Lock it up and throw away the key. Period. Grotesque waste of space.
Honestly that is what I would do if I were the judge.
1000000000000000%
What n Evil horrible old witch
To politicalize animal cruelty is a ploy long used by Republicans for any anything they deem profitable or exploitable. Politics have nothing to to do with this horrible act of demonized viciousness. Mental illness yes, politics NO!
We don’t know Pauline Waldon’s political preferences and I do not care. I just want her never to be able to have animals again but also to do jail time, compensate animal hospital and make a donation to a shelter.
This woman MUST be prosecuted and face allmaximum consequences allowable by law. Banning her permenantly from all future ownership or interaction with animals is a must.Respectfully, anything less is negligence and cowardice! Our society must hold people to standards of decency.No excuses. Thank you.
This is New York where they let violent humans out too soon, I hope your wishes come true tho. This evil waste doesn’t deserve freedom.
Why won’t you publish her name like other petitions do? Don’t you think we have the right to know who this is?
Yes publish this monster’s name. Why protect this deviant?
Pauline Waldron looks like.
A true monster, devoid of ANY humanity. Lock her up for at least 20 years and throw away the key. A murderous psychopath. What she did to this defenceless god is beyond horrific. Why is she free????? Are these court officials insane?
Calling her a monster means she is not human. I hate to break the news, but she is human and her behavior is typical of much of humanity. Humans murder their children, other humans, eat carcass, breed encroaching and further endangering and killing helpless creatures. So called good people are destroying the planet just by breeding, not to mention all the rest. To me, this woman is normal: cruel, selfish, destructive, heartless…
Unfortunately you are 1000000000000000000% right. GO VGN
Animal abuse laws are a joke, the felony law is left up to the judge . So, as we all know our judicial system stinks and judges just continue to let these nut cases walk. This sicko is out, no bond, no anything. How about some justice for the innocent dog?
Agree. Google Pauline Waldton’s evil mugshot. Let’s keep up with this story and make this woman pay for the care of the dog’s rehab and hospital services. If they won’t make her do time, they need to make sure she doesn’t get to have animals and must pay for the hospital care. This woman is so evil. I hope she doesn’t have kids, I woulf hate to call her mama.
First off her age has nothing to do with anything. I’m older.secondly released no problem. I have a problem why was she released? Her other animals only temporarily taken from her how about NO ANIMALS EVER!!!! The law needs to be taken seriously she tried to kill her dog. That is murder she needs to be in prison, as long as the laws treat harming animals as trivial it will continue and keep getting worse as we all know. Apparently the law makers don’t care and think it is trivial. All lives matter and if you can kill an innocent you are capable of worse. Just saying. We need change this is a cruel place we live in when people like this get a slap on the wrist.
Agree. Animals need protection from evil humans.
Drop this bitch in the Florida Everglades to be croc food! That’s what she deserves.
Yes!
This is absolutely outrageous! This maniacal animal abuser/attempted animal murderer should be charged with felony animal abuse/attempted murder of an innocent animal,prosecuted to the max, and receive a maximum sentence with mandatory extensive jail time.I am relieved to hear her other 5 dogs were removed,but it must be made permanently, not temporarily, as the article stated, and definitely banned from being allowed around another animal in her lifetime! That poor dog…I pray for its recovery, both physically and emotionally. Please ensure this maniac is removed from society, for both animal and human safety, and provide justice for this poor dog!
I fully agree!!!
Pauline Waldron is her name according to other news sources. New York WTH letting this woman go without bond? Make her pay for all the costs for the care of the dog WHILE banning her from owning animals ever again. Lock this evil creature up.
Get a strict judge that will give this MONSTER the most horendous sentence her to many years incarceration. Nban her from EVER OWNING ANY SPECIES OF ANIMALS.
Temporarily removed? This psychopath should never be near animals again….or people for that matter. There is something seriously wrong with her
Temporarily removed?! What?!?! Put her in prison, throw away the key! No more animals again EVER! This country sucks when it comes to actually enforcing our laws… Especially regarding abuse! Animals, children, elderly, women, etc… It’s awful! Way too many psychopaths running around. As far as I’m concerned, the moment a little baby psychopath kills or tortures an innocent creature… Lock them up in a mental health facility for good! You can’t trust a person with no conscience with anything or anyone that can’t defend itself. How the hell did we breed so many of these people!?!
