Target: Bedford County District Attorney
Goal: Ensure couple faces maximum legal punishment for the alleged animal cruelty and endangerment of children.
A disturbing case of alleged animal neglect and cruelty has emerged in Bedford County, where a married couple is accused of keeping multiple animals in deplorable conditions. Police, acting on a tip, reportedly discovered several dead and neglected animals in the couple’s home. Apparently, among the horrifying findings were puppies that had died from parvo, a bearded dragon with mold growing on it, and multiple rooms covered in feces and mold.
The couple reportedly sold puppies that were dying, and upon investigation, police found a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd living in unsanitary conditions, with feces and mold present throughout the house. Apparently, the smell of decaying animals was overwhelming, and police discovered garbage bags containing dead animals on the property. The couple faces felony charges of aggravated cruelty to animals and endangering the welfare of children.
The severity of the conditions and the reported neglect of both animals and children necessitate immediate and strong legal action. Ensuring the Bowers face the maximum legal punishment is crucial to delivering justice for the animals and safeguarding the welfare of the children involved. The Bedford County District Attorney must act decisively to address this egregious case of neglect and cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Bedford County District Attorney,
The recent discovery of apparently severe animal neglect and cruelty in Bedford County has brought to light deeply troubling allegations. A married couple is accused of keeping multiple animals in deplorable conditions, resulting in the deaths of several puppies and severe neglect of other animals. Police reportedly found the home filled with feces, mold, and the overwhelming stench of decaying animals, highlighting the dire state of both the animals and the living conditions.
The findings reportedly included puppies that had died from parvo, a bearded dragon with mold growing on its body, and multiple rooms covered in filth. The couple also faces charges of endangering the welfare of children due to the allegedly poor living conditions in the home. This situation demonstrates a shocking disregard for animal welfare and the health and safety of their children.
We urge your office to pursue the maximum legal punishment for the couple in connection with these allegations. It is imperative to hold them accountable for the reported cruelty and neglect, sending a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated. Ensuring justice in this case will protect other animals and children from suffering similar fates and uphold the values of humane treatment and responsibility within our community.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

The Bowers deserve to be “euthanized” with a crowbar
Clearly state the names of the POS abusers: Randy Bower, 39, and Melissa Bower, 36. These petitions should always prominently include the names of the scum perps that prey on innocent victims to make sure everyone knows who they are.
