Target: Heather Adams, District Attorney of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Goal: Ensure appropriate punishment for man accused of sadistically mutilating his dog, Kimber.
The case of Stephen Stoltzfus is nothing short of shocking and demands immediate and severe action. Allegations have emerged that Stoltzfus used scissors to amputate the severely injured hind leg of a Labradoodle-type dog named Kimber. This brutal surgery allegedly occurred after Stoltzfus sought pain medication, but refused to provide essential veterinary care for Kimber, who was suffering significantly due to injuries caused by farm equipment.
Reports indicate that when authorities discovered Kimber, she was missing large portions of her left hind leg, exposed bone was visible, and her fur was blood-stained. Further examinations reportedly revealed she was suffering from severe anemia and had flea and tick infestations. Investigators described her as being in an extremely distressing state, highlighted by extensive blood matting and a horrific odor, showcasing the neglect and suffering she endured for an extended period.
This case underscores the urgent need for justice and meaningful consequences for acts of cruelty toward animals. It is crucial that the appropriate authorities hold Stoltzfus accountable for the alleged torture and neglect of Kimber, not only for her sake but to send a powerful message that such atrocities will not be tolerated in our society. The petition demands that all relevant charges against Stoltzfus be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Adams,
The case of Stephen Stoltzfus, who stands accused of horrific animal abuse, demands your urgent attention and action. Stoltzfus allegedly used scissors to cruelly amputate the severely injured hind leg of a dog named Kimber. Reports indicate that he sought pain medication for her but failed to provide vital veterinary care, resulting in unimaginable suffering that Kimber endured alone. The extent of her reported injuries, alongside her alarming health conditions, paints a heart-wrenching picture of neglect and brutality.
When authorities discovered Kimber, she reportedly exhibited severe signs of distress, with her hind leg mutilated and significant injuries leading to exposure of bones. Alongside this, she seemingly suffered from severe anemia resulting from acute blood loss and was infested with fleas and ticks, indicating a severe lack of basic care. These allegations point to a profound failure to protect an innocent animal who relied on Stoltzfus for her well-being.
It is crucial that the charges against Stoltzfus, including those for felony counts of torture and neglect, are pursued vigorously. Justice for Kimber and the message her case sends about the treatment of animals is paramount. We respectfully urge your office to ensure that Stoltzfus faces appropriate punishment for his alleged actions, reflecting the severity of his crimes.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
