Target: Bill Brown, Santa Barbara County, CA Sheriff
Goal: Support apprehension and arrest of juvenile suspect in animal cruelty case.
The reportedly brutal bludgeoning of four chickens on a California church property caused widespread outrage. Members of the Isla Vista Community Services District even held a memorial service for the lost hens, who were named Siracha, Speckles, Shadow, and Sunshine. This ForceChange petition echoed calls from community members for justice in this disturbing case. Now, thanks to such tireless efforts, a suspect has been apprehended.
According to reports, an anonymous tip brought a 14-year-old boy to the attention of authorities. Based on evidence collected in the case, the suspect was arrested. His case will now play out in juvenile court. If this boy is found guilty, he can now get the help he needs before any more innocent living beings suffer.
Sign the petition below to thank the Santa Barbara County police department for their due diligence.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Sheriff Brown,
“Our chickens were not just animals, but cherished members of our community. They brought us joy and companionship, and their loss will be deeply felt.” The individuals who cared for the four animals reportedly bludgeoned to death at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church spoke for many animal lovers greatly disturbed at the violence allegedly inflicted. Thank you for staying with this case and seeing it through until a suspect was apprehended and an arrest made.
Your proactive approach may have prevented future tragedies.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
