Target: Lisa Smittcamp, District Attorney of Fresno County, CA
Goal: Prosecute man accused of killing elderly dog to the fullest extent.
A beloved 16-year-old family dog lost his life in an alleged act of animal cruelty. Surveillance footage apparently captured the dog, named Artie, being grabbed by a man outside of the property where the animal lived. The video seems to show the man moving away from the camera and returning a short time later with the now-deceased dog, whom he puts in a garbage can and leaves. Authorities reportedly identified the suspect as Aaron Cumpton, who now faces animal cruelty charges.
While Cumpton has been barred from unsupervised contact with animals, he was not jailed while he awaited legal proceedings. He has pled not guilty, despite the video evidence seemingly implicating him. This suspect also now faces accusations that he killed another pet dog while house-sitting for a different family. The dog in the separate case had apparently sustained severe and ultimately lethal neck injuries under Cumpton’s care.
This possible serial animal abuser must be held accountable. He faces up to three years of jail time. Sign the petition below to ensure he receives maximum punishment if found guilty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Ms. Smittcamp,
A camera outside a family’s home captured a horrific incident in which a man seemingly brutally killed the family’s pet dog and then disposed of the body like trash. Authorities believe they have the man, Aaron Cumpton, caught in the video. Now, the legal system must do its job.
According to an acquaintance, Cumpton may very well have committed a similar offense of deadly animal cruelty on at least one other occasion. Please vet these new accusations and consider further charges if they prove credible. Most importantly, please pursue a penalty that will ensure this alleged abuser never has the opportunity to harm another living being.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

What a disgusting piece of trash. Please treat him as the murderer that he is. He will kill again. He needs to go to prison and treated as the scum of the earth that he is. Family if that sweet little guy should sue him for everything he owns, they have it on camera.
I agree with you!!

RIP Artie. You have crossed the beautiful Rainbow Bridge into beautiful Animal Heaven. No more suffering precious Artie.Love you!!!!
Each time a murderer is let go, the rage builds up in society. But but the courts let monsters who even murder people out early to kill again, so I fear it will happen to this cretan, also. Pray IT gets the max! 🙏
Heaven’s gates open wide for these murdered ones and slam shut for eternity on this nothing and any complicit law enforcement.
Why is this freaking asshole not locked up? Are you waiting for him to kill a human? Animals are just as important, do your damned job and lock him up!!!!!
This Ted Bundy in-training needs to be gone off this planet in any manner that God sees fit! If this piece of crap still breathes, he deserves NOTHING LESS than being the meanest inmate’s butt bitch!
This freaking creep deserves the death penalty! He’s a waste of oxygen and needs to be taken out of society.
I so agree withyou but am sure the do gooders will come up with excuses as to why hes a scumbag. No excuse those poor animals deserve so much better. Hes a waste of good air!!!!
Punish him to the absolute full.
Death not even good enough for this monster.
Poor sweet little innocent
Save in God’s arms now
Xxxxxxxx
PLEASE DO THE SAME THING TO THIS A*HOLE.
Aaron Cumpton is a despicable, disgusting murderer who deserves a life sentence. Put this piece of trash away. Murderers must NOT be allowed to go free. Poor Artie….my heart goes out to his family.
The monster!!!
Sick SOB!!!
That monster deserves to be punished by death! He killed two precious dogs! Jail time bus not harsh enough for that monster!
Hoe kan je dat een dier aan doen??
Die je ook al zolang kent.
Maakt niet uit oud of jong
Misschien moeten ze opsluiten in het gekkenhuis.
Zodat je nooit maar ook nooit nog een dier pijn kan doen.
R.I.P Poor Sweet Artie
Unless you start handing out severe punishments – financially and with actual jail time – this b/s won’t stop. These pathetic sob’s will continue to get away with murder. They deserve to be in a cage, they are seriously damaged mentally and probably beyond redemption. No slap on the wrist, no “stern” warning – send a real message!
You are below the scum on this earth..
You over of crap a poor defenseless little yorkie who cannot defend it self…I pray you get to go to prison for this and you get treated the same way ..
That’s where you need to be
People disagree with me, but I don’t hold humans higher than any other form of life. Cumpton is a murderer, a danger out in society, and should be put away from all forms of life for his whole life. << he won't learn or rehab — he's a damaged, amoral person, and I don't care what made him so evil, but he is dangerous to the rest of us.
Words can’t convey what I feel for beings like this. Lock him up and throw away the key. No food, water or contact with anyone. Let him waste away.
This vile mentally deranged dog killing scumbag must have the death penalty implemented.I am ready,willing and able to help perform this procedure.A slow and agonising death is essential for thgis filthy faggot!!
HOW MUCH MORE WILL IT TAKE UNTIL PEOPLE ARE STOPPED FROM EVER OWNING OR BEING ALLOWED NEAR ANY ANIMALS?? FOR HEAVENS SAKE SORT THESE EVIL, WICKED WASTES OF SPACE OUT AND NOW.
POOR INNOCENT ANIMALS MUST BE PROTECTED FROM SUCH EVIL MONSTERS.
I WOULDNT WANT THEIR KARMA, THEY MADE IT, THEY WILL RECEIVE IT IN FULL.
I pity the poor animals that come into contact with that person. Another issue the authorities need to consider is that many people who harm animals are practicing on them, before moving on to harming humans.
