Target: Timothy M. O’Shea, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin
Goal: Impose harsher penalties for animal abuse, specifically in cases involving video documentation of such acts.
In a deeply disturbing case, Kenneth J. Herrera allegedly paid for a video depicting severe cruelty to a monkey. This gruesome act, reportedly involving explicit instructions for mistreatment, highlights a heinous disregard for animal welfare. It’s alarming to consider that someone would commission such brutality, let alone for the purpose of creating a video.
This video reportedly showcases a monkey undergoing extreme physical abuse, a shocking act of violence against a defenseless animal. The PACT Act, under which Herrera was convicted, aims to protect animals from such barbaric acts. Yet, the sentence of 12 months and a $5,000 fine seems insufficient for the gravity of this alleged crime. This brings into question whether current legal repercussions are adequate in deterring such abhorrent behavior.
This case underscores the need for more stringent penalties in cases of animal cruelty, especially when documented for distribution. Demand stricter legal action against individuals who engage in, commission, or distribute animal cruelty. The emotional and psychological impact of such acts extends beyond the animals; they signify a dangerous lack of empathy and can be indicative of broader antisocial behavior.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear U.S. Attorney Timothy M. O’Shea,
In light of the recent case involving Kenneth J. Herrera, I am compelled to express deep concern over the handling of animal cruelty, particularly in documented cases. Herrera’s actions, as described in court, allegedly involved the commissioning and distribution of a video showing severe abuse of a monkey. This act not only constitutes a grave injustice to the animal but also poses broader societal concerns.
The PACT Act was a significant step in addressing such issues, yet the sentence Herrera received – 12 months and a $5,000 fine – appears inadequate given the severity of the alleged crime. This leniency might not sufficiently deter future incidents of animal cruelty, particularly those documented for distribution. There’s a growing body of evidence linking animal cruelty to other forms of violence, making it imperative that such crimes are met with stringent legal repercussions.
Thus, I urge you to consider advocating for harsher penalties in cases of documented animal cruelty. This could serve as a stronger deterrent and reflect the severity of these acts. It is vital to send a clear message: cruelty to animals, especially when documented for distribution, is a serious crime and will be met with rigorous legal consequences.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

This is a mere slap on the wrist. The sentence is completely disproprotioate to the the brutal and psychopathic actions committed. Please impose much stronger penalties for such heinous acts. That was the whole purpose of enacting PACT Act.
How can the justice system just give these evil humans a slap on the wrist. That poor innocent monkey and all animals deserve to be protected andxthey won’t until the system makes stricter punishments fir these horrible abusers. They need to be removed from society permanently. Stop the abuse!!
This perp can’t suffer enough and die soon enough for my satisfaction. Sign sign sign and Donate to stop this, I did.
This ‘punishment’ says: “Wisconsin, we are open for animal abuse, come here to get away with animal torture and sick sick abuse”. This was such a vile and deliberate act that I would be scared to live in the same city as this guy and it appears he’ll be out and up to his usual abuse real soon. Anyone who would do this would also do this again, and if that isn’t satisfying enough then what, move on to kids? Very likely. Keep you city safe, leave him in jail for a very very long time.
Surely there are people in this area of Wisconsin that care about animals and can “take care” of sick individuals like this
This monster should suffer the exact fate as the monkey! Judgement and justice ⚖️
12 months and $5,000 fine is hardly enough for this extreme torture which is documented on video, paid for by another person and show the agony of the monkey.
Does the court realize how serious all these mentally can;lenged people are? THEY ARE THE FUTURE SHOOTERS, RAPIST, AND SCAMERS! It begins with animals torture and end who knows where. These individuals are a threat to society. Is that not understood by courts or judges? Someone as ill as both men needs to have a stiffer sentence and mental health assistance and the judge knows that!
Obviously your bullshit laws aren’t working. Seems like plan b is needed. Louisville slugger over his head should suffice.
Justice system? There is no justice for most of these abused, tortured and murdered animals. These evil monster humans get away with these crimes every day. Makes me sick. The crimes against animals are getting worse! This world is full of psychopaths.
