Sign the Petition
Target: Hon. Alvin Bragg, District Attorney of New York County
Goal: Advocate for harsher sentences for those convicted of animal cruelty and ensure Rocket’s alleged abuser faces maximum legal repercussions.
The case of Rocket, a one-year-old miniature poodle, highlights the urgent need for stricter animal cruelty laws. Rocket reportedly suffered a life-threatening attack when his owner, Cleopatra Morgan, threw him off a ledge at Highbridge Park. Found with a fractured femur and traumatic brain injuries, Rocket was barely clinging to life when NYPD officers Kelsey Garcia and her team rushed him to the ASPCA Animal Hospital, according to reports. Despite his apparent severe injuries, Rocket has shown incredible resilience, making a remarkable recovery after months of intensive medical care and therapy.
The emotional footage of Rocket’s rescue, shared widely on social media, has sparked outrage and calls for justice. Cleopatra Morgan has been arrested and charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, torturing/injuring/not feeding an animal, criminal possession of a weapon, and false impersonation. However, this case underscores the need for stronger penalties to deter such heinous acts of violence against animals.
Ensure Rocket’s alleged abuser faces maximum legal repercussions.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Hon. Alvin Bragg,
I am writing to urge you to pursue the maximum legal penalties for Cleopatra Morgan, who has been charged with the horrific abuse of Rocket, a miniature poodle. Rocket was reportedly brutally attacked and thrown off a ledge, resulting in severe injuries including a fractured femur and traumatic brain injuries. Thanks to the swift actions of NYPD officers and the dedicated care of the ASPCA Animal Hospital, Rocket has made a remarkable recovery.
However, Rocket’s story is a stark reminder of the urgent need for stronger animal cruelty laws. The emotional impact of his rescue, captured in widely-shared footage, has sparked public outrage and highlighted the necessity of ensuring that those who commit such cruel acts face the harshest possible consequences.
I urge you to advocate for harsher sentences for those convicted of animal cruelty and to ensure that Rocket’s alleged abuser is held fully accountable for her actions. By doing so, we can send a clear message that such brutality will not be tolerated and take a critical step toward preventing future acts of animal cruelty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
