Target: Andrew Barr, Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory
Goal: Ensure thorough investigation and prosecution of individuals responsible for attacking horses.
A disturbing incident has been reported in which a group of males wearing Halloween costumes attacked horses with a baseball bat at Arawang Paddock in the Australian Capital Territory. The attack occurred around 9:30 pm on October 31, 2024. Later that evening, the owners found their horses with a sticky substance on them, indicating abuse. While the horses were not seriously injured, such acts of cruelty cause significant distress and pose a threat to animal welfare.
Animal cruelty is a serious offense that not only harms innocent animals but also undermines the safety and moral fabric of the community. It is imperative that authorities conduct a thorough investigation to identify and prosecute those responsible for this act. Prevent future incidents and protect animals from harm.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear CM Barr,
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the incident of animal cruelty that took place at Arawang Paddock on October 31, 2024. A group of males wearing Halloween costumes allegedly attacked horses with a baseball bat. The owners later found their horses with a sticky substance on them, suggesting that the animals were subjected to abuse. While it is a relief that the horses were not seriously injured, the psychological trauma and potential for harm are significant.
Animal cruelty is unacceptable and violates the principles of compassion and respect that our society upholds. Such acts not only cause unnecessary suffering to animals but may also indicate a propensity for further violent behavior. It is crucial that this matter is investigated thoroughly and that those responsible are held accountable under the law.
I urge you to prioritize this case and ensure that appropriate legal action is taken against the individuals involved. By doing so, you will reinforce the importance of animal welfare and demonstrate a commitment to justice and the protection of all beings within our community.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
