Demand Justice for Great Pyrenees Allegedly Neglected to Death

Target: Buchanan County Prosecuting Attorney Ronald R. Holliday, Missouri

A heartbreaking case of animal cruelty has emerged in St. Joseph, Missouri, where Marc P. Carpenter and Stephany A. Carpenter have been charged with animal abuse after their dog, a Great Pyrenees, was reportedly severely neglected near Lake Contrary. The charges, filed in Buchanan County, stem from an incident when the dog was reportedly rescued and taken to Angel’s Vet Express. Unfortunately, despite veterinary efforts, the dog reportedly succumbed to a range of untreated health issues.

According to the veterinarian’s report, the Great Pyrenees was 50 pounds underweight, had infections and maggots in its ears, suffered from untreated heartworms, and was wearing a collar that had grown into its fur. These severe health conditions reflect suspected prolonged neglect and cruelty, which ultimately led to the dog’s tragic death.

This case calls for justice to be served for the Great Pyrenees, and for Marc and Stephany Carpenter to face the maximum penalties allowed under Missouri’s animal cruelty laws. Animal abuse is a serious offense. Make sure that those responsible are held accountable.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Prosecuting Attorney Ronald R. Holliday,

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent case of suspected animal cruelty in St. Joseph, Missouri, where Marc P. Carpenter and Stephany A. Carpenter have been charged with animal abuse after an allegedly neglected Great Pyrenees dog died. The dog, rescued near Lake Contrary, was reportedly 50 pounds underweight, had maggots in its ears, suffered from untreated heartworms, and was wearing a collar that had grown into its fur. These severe health conditions reflect potentially extreme neglect and cruelty.

Despite the efforts of veterinarians at Angel’s Vet Express, the Great Pyrenees tragically passed away due to the extensive health issues caused by this apparent neglect. This case is both heartbreaking and inexcusable, and it is essential that those responsible are held fully accountable under the law.

As the Buchanan County Prosecuting Attorney, I urge you to pursue the maximum legal penalties for Marc and Stephany Carpenter. Animal cruelty is a serious crime, and justice must be served to prevent such cases of neglect from happening again. By imposing strong legal consequences, you can send a clear message that animal abuse will not be tolerated in our community.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
