Dogs Reportedly Exposed to Dangerous Heat and Filthy Conditions at Puppy Mill Deserve Justice

Target: Hon. Phil Archer, State Attorney, Eighteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida

Goal: Urge strict legal action against Elisabeth Cleveland for alleged animal cruelty and ensure all rescued animals receive necessary medical attention and care.

In Merritt Island, Florida, a disturbing case of alleged animal cruelty has come to light involving a puppy mill reportedly run by Elisabeth Cleveland. The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, led by Sheriff Wayne Ivey, apparently discovered numerous dogs living in appalling conditions across three properties. These dogs reportedly suffered from severe neglect, with food dishes containing vomit, water pails filled with mold and algae, and temperatures inside doghouses soaring above 100 degrees.

The dogs were reportedly found with various health issues, including open wounds, broken legs, and eye infections. Cleveland allegedly practiced unlicensed veterinary medicine, administering injections and even euthanizing a dog herself. Many dogs were apparently living under floorboards or in puddles of water, reflecting the dire circumstances they endured.

After resisting initial investigations, Cleveland was eventually arrested and charged with 134 counts of animal cruelty. Despite the severity of the allegations, she was released on a bond of $259,000. Sign below and demand justice for these innocent animals.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Hon. Phil Archer,

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent case of alleged animal cruelty in Merritt Island involving Elisabeth Cleveland. The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office reported uncovering a horrific situation where numerous dogs were found in deplorable conditions, suffering from severe neglect and various health issues. The dogs were reportedly left in extreme heat, deprived of clean water, and subjected to unlicensed veterinary practices.

Cleveland faces 134 counts of animal cruelty, yet she has been released on bond. It is imperative that she faces strict legal consequences for her alleged actions to ensure justice for these innocent animals.

I urge you to take immediate and decisive action to prosecute Elisabeth Cleveland to the fullest extent of the law. Additionally, please ensure that all rescued animals receive the necessary medical attention and care they desperately need. The safety and well-being of these animals depend on your commitment to enforcing animal cruelty laws and holding those responsible accountable.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
