Target: Pike County, Ohio Prosecuting Attorney Mike Davis
Goal: Prosecute person responsible for 40 dead dogs, 80 malnourished dogs, and several dead chickens.
Large dogs and puppies were laying dead in a pile 10 feet off the road. A lot of them were chained just to trees, didn’t have any kind of protection from the weather and weren’t fed or watered. It was a very bad situation.
This was the devastating scene that authorities discovered on the property of a man accused of this horrific abuse, according to Pike County, Ohio, Commissioner, and animal welfare volunteer, Jeff Chattin.
The owner of the property, Wyndan Skye, 62, was arrested on animal cruelty charges. Skye’s bail was set at $70,000 which is higher than most animal abuse cases, but still gives him the opportunity to walk free while awaiting trial.
During the search of Skye’s property, deputies reportedly found 40 dead dogs in a pile, one dead dog tied to a tractor, as well as 80 other dogs in various states of being malnourished and emaciated. One pig was found alive.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecuting Attorney Davis,
Large dogs and puppies were laying dead in a pile 10 feet off the road. A lot of them were chained just to trees, didn’t have any kind of protection from the weather and weren’t fed or watered. It was a very bad situation.
This was the devastating scene that authorities discovered on the property of a man accused of this horrific abuse, according to Pike County, Ohio, Commissioner, and animal welfare volunteer, Jeff Chattin.
The owner of the property, Wyndan Skye, 62, was arrested on animal cruelty charges. Skye’s bail was set at $70,000 which is higher than most animal abuse cases, but still gives him the opportunity to walk free while awaiting trial.
A single case of animal abuse is a serious crime but in this case, there appears to be a mind-boggling amount of abuse. Please seek the maximum penalty in this case.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
