Target: Cynthia Zimmer, Kern County District Attorney
Goal: Demand the maximum penalty for an animal trainer accused of abusing and neglecting eleven dogs.
A 22-year old woman and resident of Bakersfield, California has been arrested after 11 dogs were found dead during an investigation of ‘intense odor’ complaints. The suspect, Annie Schreiber, apparently opened an unlicensed animal boarding and training business. When police arrived on scene, they reportedly discovered the 11 dead dogs, as well as 29 seemingly neglected dogs and three cats. All surviving animals were taken to Animal Control and are being redistributed to their rightful owners.
In addition to the 11 counts of felony animal abuse, Schreiber faces 10 misdemeanor counts of abandonment of a dog or cat, 20 misdemeanor animal cruelty counts, and 26 counts of illegally operating a kennel without the proper permit to do so. She is currently held on $250,000 bail.
Sign this petition to demand that Annie Schreiber is prosecuted at the full extent of the law. She deserves both jail time and a fine for her allegedly despicable behavior that potentially resulted in the deaths of 11 innocent dogs.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Zimmer,
After receiving complaints about ‘intense odors’ coming from a house belonging to Bakersfield, California resident Annie Schreiber, police reportedly found 11 dead dogs, as well as 29 severely emaciated dogs and three cats. Schreiber had apparently been illegally running an animal boarding and training business without proper permits, and seemingly neglected her responsibilities in caring for these animals that were entrusted to her. Surviving animals have since been taken to local Animal Control and are being returned to their rightful owners.
Schreiber has been arrested and, in addition to the 11 counts of felony animal abuse for the dead dogs found on her premises, she also faces misdemeanor counts for abandoning dogs and cats, animal cruelty, and illegally operating an unpermitted kennel.
We are asking you, Mr. Newsom, to please make sure Annie Schreiber is prosecuted to the maximum extent for her alleged crimes.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

I hope they give her a long sentence and never own an animal again sick scum
Eleanor,
You address the letter to DA Zimmer but then you address your last paragraph to Mr. Newsom — you need to correct that. But thanks for posting this — it is absolutely tragic. How did she have so many dogs for such a long period that 11 died? Had they had no food & water the dogs probably would have made it for at least a few days maybe? Well, Bakersfield can be extremely hot, I suppose. This is absolutely horrific cruelty and I feel for the owners of the 11 dogs who probably were in vacation and came back to a nightmare. Those dogs suffered greatly. I feel very bad about this.
Yes, I noticed the same: can be easily fixed as “we are asking also Mr Newson for a high punishment…” and we should also send a letter to the governor; why not?!!!!
Felony animal murderer! Lock her away for max sentence for each animal that was abused and neglected and murdered by her evil heartless worthless self.
What an evil pos
Annie Schreiber is a monster. In addition to jail time and max fines, PLEASE BAN THIS POS FOR LIFE FORM OWNING OR HAVING ANY ANIMAL IN HER CARE.
She’s lucky I’m not her judge…scum would never see the light of day again. It’s time for her to STARVE and see how she likes it.
DO THE SAME WITH THAT MONSTER OF A WOMAN AND DO NOT FEED HER.
What I don’t get is it took a while for those animals to get into that condition. Where have the owners been and why haven’t they been checked on. Weird.
And….please charge the owners who left their dogs there with neglect and endangement!
Right now the laws pertaining to animal abuse in most states are a joke.
There should be stricter penalties-
Longer prison terms-
Not able to have an animal ever again-
And to register as an animal abuser for life-
Right now it’s a slap on the wrist and a small (if at all) jail sentence
This woman needs to have much pain inflicted upon her.
There is no excuse for allowing this to happen. She should have asked for help with properly caring for these animals. This monster needs to sit in prison and not be allowed near any animals again.
HER BUSINESS HER PROPERTY EITHER WAY SHE IS GUILTY…..SHE SHOULD GET 1000 TIMES BACK WHAT SHE HAS DONE!!!!!!
ALSO WANT TO SAY IT IS WELL PAST TIME FOR any justice system IN THE WORLD TO GROW A FEW PAIRS AND START protecting THESE INNOCENT ANIMALS!!!
kill the stupid bitch—-PURGE
She should be executed; unfortunately, that won’t happen. In fact, nothing much will probably happen to her – a fine and that is about it.
PLEASE give her time for EACH pet she killed! Animal cruelty MUST BE STOPPED! Animals CANNOT protect themselves. They depend on people to care for them and when people fail to do this, it is absolutely unforgivable, because it was intentionally done!
There is a special place in hell for this C___T
11 innocents die and dozens starved and abandoned.. what lying greedy bitch would do that? Prosecute to the Max and Never let her near another animal of any kind!!! This is an atrocity!
Why did it take so long for someone to notice what was going on in the house of horrors. This evil cruelty did not happen overnight and this evil bitch needs jail time or time in a mental institution. Those poor animals suffered at the hands of this nut case. Who would leave their pets at that place and not notice or get a sense that something smelled bad. This person should never be allowed near any animal.
This scumbag bitch needs to be in prison. Tell the inmates what she did. She’ll get some real punishment for her evil shit.
