Target: Alvin Bragg, Central New York District Attorney
Goal: Ensure strict legal penalties for individuals involved in the recent surge of animal cruelty cases.
In Central New York, a disturbing escalation in pet abuse has been reported. A shocking 85% increase in animal cruelty cases over the past year alarms and horrifies. The Central New York SPCA, under Troy Waffner’s leadership, has witnessed this trend firsthand. Among the victims, a dog named Berch, discovered abandoned and tethered to a birch tree, epitomizes the heartbreaking reality of these acts. Waffner attributes this rise to multiple factors, including economic hardships and unstable living conditions. However, these reasons do not excuse the heinous acts of cruelty inflicted upon innocent animals.
Detailed investigations reveal harrowing stories. Berch’s tale of abandonment and subsequent rehabilitation illustrates the emotional and physical scars inflicted on these animals. The SPCA’s commitment to their welfare, demonstrated by a notable 11% increase in adoptions, is commendable. Yet, the underlying issue of rampant animal cruelty remains unresolved. The sheer number of cases, escalating from 218 to 404 within a year, necessitates immediate and stringent legal action. The community’s moral and ethical responsibility to protect these voiceless creatures from abuse is undeniable.
The need for change is urgent. Legal repercussions for individuals engaged in such cruelty should be strict and unyielding. This petition calls for the Central New York District Attorney to take definitive action. By implementing severe penalties, we can deter potential abusers and safeguard the well-being of animals. Our collective voice demands justice for these innocent victims. Ensure that such acts of cruelty are met with the full force of the law.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Alvin Bragg,
In your esteemed role, you have the power to effect change in our community. We are deeply troubled by the recent surge in animal cruelty cases in Central New York, as reported by the SPCA. This year alone, the number of pets seized in cruelty cases nearly doubled, a statistic that cannot be overlooked. The story of Berch, found tied to a tree and abandoned, is just one of many that reflect the severity and emotional impact of this issue.
These animals endure unimaginable suffering, often resulting in long-lasting physical and emotional scars. The SPCA’s efforts in rehabilitating and rehoming these animals are commendable, but the root problem persists. The increase in cases is a clear indicator of a larger societal issue that requires immediate attention. As the community’s legal guardian, your role in addressing this situation is critical. The enforcement of stricter legal penalties for those found guilty of animal cruelty is an essential step in preventing future cases.
We, therefore, urge you to take decisive action against those responsible for these acts of cruelty. By imposing stringent legal consequences, you will send a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated in our community. It is our collective responsibility to protect the most vulnerable among us, and we believe that your leadership can bring about the necessary change. We trust in your commitment to justice and your compassion for all beings, and we respectfully request your immediate attention to this pressing issue.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Alvin Scumbragg only cares about his black criminal people
We need strong laws, strong prosecutors and even stronger judges. Most of all we must get these criminals to court! Strong, enforced laws make for less criminals. These people have no respect, no tolerance, show no affection and are not able to love. Add all that to the fact they have no reason to live in society as those who do are law abiding citizens, they are not.
A person committing such a crime has mental challenges or they would not hurt and kill just for the fun of it. They are ill. They need prison and mental health assistance. The abusers must be abused in order to set an example. How do we abuse them? Take their home, their car, their reputation by putting them on a registry. First prison, they must pay for the animals care and medical bills. Place a lean in their future salaries if and when they get out. They can never be around animals again for life!
People and animals should not have to be forced to tolerate the insane.
The laws need to be changed but I think the biggest scourge to society especially animals is social media. these pea brained idiots will maim and kill defenseless creatures for likes, thumbs up and naturally money. These platforms should be held accountable for allowing this trash to be posted and the morons who post it should be locked up. it has consumed the youth of the world just as it was intended to do.
YES, 100% AGREE!!!!!
This is really Sad that this continues to go on. These so called government people should be tied to a tree 🌳 and left there without their security. See how fast they change the laws!!Thank God Berch was found🐕🐕!How about you get to work, we Are paying you!!!!!!!!!!!
