Target: Raymond A. Tierney, District Attorney of Suffolk County, New York
Goal: Secure the maximum lawful penalties, restitution, and a lifelong animal-ownership ban for the suspect accused of keeping nearly 100 cats in filth and freezing dead kittens.
Authorities reportedly uncovered sixty-nine living cats and twenty-eight dead cats inside one residence after responding to complaints about overwhelming odors. As reported, about two dozen of the deceased were kittens wrapped and stored in a household freezer, while the rest of the animals—many suffering respiratory infections and eye disease—were scattered throughout a home soaked in urine and layered with feces. Investigators deemed the structure uninhabitable due to dangerously high ammonia levels.
The seventy-five-year-old homeowner has surrendered and now faces multiple misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and neglect. Yet the reported scale of suffering—including three cats later euthanized because of severe illness—suggests prolonged, systemic disregard for life. Rescue workers describe floors so spongy with urine that they collapsed underfoot and walls sprayed with waste, painting a grim picture of daily torment for these animals.
Strong, exemplary prosecution–and psychiatric help for the accused if warranted–is essential to honor the victims, cover veterinary costs, and deter similar large-scale hoarding tragedies. Sign below to demand a harsh sentence, full restitution, mandatory mental-health intervention, and a permanent prohibition on keeping animals.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Tierney,
According to Suffolk County SPCA investigators, a single residence housed sixty-nine ailing cats and twenty-eight dead cats—including about two dozen kittens reportedly found wrapped inside a freezer. The surviving animals were reportedly discovered amid floors soaked in urine, walls fouled by feces, and air so saturated with ammonia that officials condemned the structure.
These allegations indicate prolonged neglect that inflicted misery on scores of sentient beings. Three cats have already been euthanized due to the severity of their conditions, underscoring the reported magnitude of suffering. Such systemic cruelty erodes community trust and places an enormous burden on shelters now striving to heal and rehome the surviving animals.
We respectfully urge your office to pursue the maximum penalties allowed by New York law, including substantial jail time, significant fines, restitution for every dollar of veterinary and shelter care, mandatory mental-health evaluation, and a lifetime ban on animal ownership for the defendant. A decisive response will affirm that mass animal neglect and death carry serious consequences and will help prevent future tragedies.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

NO animal deserves to be a victim of DEHUMANIZED, DESENSITIZED and MENTALLY-DERANGED SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS!!
NO animal-abuser should get away with such a horrific crime.
LAWMAKERS, stop these crimes by establishing harsh punishments for animal abuse! It’s your duty as humans.
Tormenting, neglecting and killing animals has a brutalizing effect on our society and mankind as a whole.
These pathological monsters must be severely punished. They must also be forbidden from coming near animals ever again.
SET a PRECEDENT, and punish to the full extent of the law!
MAX JAIL or DEATH PENALTY for these scumbags!
Those who are convicted of cruelty should never be allowed to own animals again.
Agree all comments. Starve these fuckers put them in freezer. Execute animal abusers. Justice now. Should be in all countries.
Absolutely agree with you.
Good one again Sister Julie.
Could not agree more!

I don’t care how old the evil old bag is … she doesn’t deserve to get any older.
THIS CRUEL ABUSIVE 75-YEAR-OLD DESERVES THE EXACT TORTURE AS ALL THESE INNOCENT DEFENSELESS CATS RECEIVED!!!
I do not understand what is wrong with people for wanting to kill and hurt innocent cats & kittens. What is wrong with them??!
Those who abuse animals should be prosecuted as if their crime was committed to a person. Let’s see, it is 75, so a sentence of 30 years seems appropriate.
THERE IS TRUE EVIL IN THIS WORLD AND THESE POOR INNOCENT HELPLESS ANIMALS ARE THE VICTIMS OF THESE MONSTERS!!!! THESE POOR BABIES NEED BETTER PROTECTION FROM THESE MONSTERS!!!
PROSECUTE AND LOCK THIS MURDERING MONSTER AND KEEP HER AND AWAY FROM ALL ANIMALS!!
WE NEED STRICTER LAWS FOR THESE ABUSERS!!!
What type of person is happy to live in “….a home soaked in urine and layered with feces” that is “uninhabitable”? This homeowner is obviously mentally unwell and is animal hoarder, who has NO regard for the wellbeing and health of the animals. NO animal is safe with this person. DON’T let this person own another animal – EVER.
The only upside to this tragedy is that the demented monster will soon be dead and unable to harm another animal.
HOW CAN ONE TURN A BLIND EYE TO SUCH NEGLECT, AND CRUELTY TO THESE POOR INNOCENT CREATURES???
NO ONE CAN ITS SO ABHORRENT AND DISGUSTING!!!
THIS WOMAN HAS GOT SEVERE PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES AND MUST PAY FOR THIS VERY VERY SAD LOSS OF LIFE AND NEGLECT.
The owner should be punishment,evil murder,cruel,put to jail,poor little cats freeze to death,that’s murder.im piss off for poor souls has to go dying….stay in jail.
Whoever did this needs the same. Always excuses always no punishment. All their lives matter. Scum. Gilth
I HATE HUMANITY!!! We deserve the worst of the worst
THIS MUST BE STOPPED THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE
We need to demand stiffer penalties for animal abuse. If you see something say something and get your animals fixed. Don’t buy from breeders either. All animals need to feel loved. People, when did a lot of you become desensitized. Sad!
SCUM
