Target: Jessica Ventiere, Lee County District Attorney, Florida
Goal: Ensure justice for a dog allegedly infested with maggots and neglected to death.
A heartbreaking case of alleged animal cruelty has surfaced in Cape Coral, where 26-year-old Jonathan Urquizo was arrested after his elderly dog, Molly, was reportedly discovered in an emaciated and neglected condition. The Labrador mix reportedly found infested with maggots and too weak to stand, was euthanized due to her severe suffering.
A veterinary examination reportedly revealed that Molly had been neglected for an extended period, leading to her painful demise. The situation underscores the need for strict enforcement of animal welfare laws and the importance of holding those responsible fully accountable. Such neglect cannot go unpunished, and stronger measures are needed to prevent further tragedies. Take immediate action.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Jessica Ventiere,
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent case of alleged animal cruelty involving Jonathan Urquizo, whose 16-year-old dog, Molly, was reportedly found in a state of severe neglect. Molly’s condition was reportedly so dire that she had to be euthanized to end her suffering, and veterinary reports indicate prolonged neglect.
I urge your office to ensure that Mr. Urquizo is fully prosecuted under the law and to reinforce the importance of strict animal welfare enforcement in Lee County. We must send a clear message that such acts of neglect and cruelty will not be tolerated and that those responsible will be held accountable.
Your attention to this matter is crucial in preventing further cases of animal abuse and ensuring that justice is served for Molly and all animals in similar situations.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
