Target: Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita
Goal: Ensure those responsible for this extensive animal cruelty case are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and advocate for stronger enforcement of animal welfare regulations in Indiana.
In Gosport, Indiana, a troubling case has emerged involving 348 animals allegedly found in dire conditions on the property of Cody Woods and Amanda Simpson. The animals, which included dogs, ducks, chickens, goats, and horses, were reportedly malnourished and dehydrated, with many found deceased. The Owen County Humane Society and other local shelters have stepped in to rescue and care for the surviving animals, underscoring what appears to be a significant breach of animal welfare standards.
The investigation began after reports of a neglected horse prompted a deputy’s visit, reportedly revealing most animals lacked food and water. Upon obtaining a search warrant, a veterinarian allegedly discovered numerous dead animals, highlighting severe neglect. This case has overwhelmed local shelters due to the volume of animals needing care, underscoring the necessity for community support and donations.
This incident highlights the critical importance of vigilant reporting by community members to prevent animal neglect and abuse. Timely intervention can significantly impact animal welfare. Ensure accountability and deter future neglect and cruelty in the community.
