Target: Michael J. Perry, Warrick County Prosecutor
Goal: Ensure appropriate punishment for alleged suffering and deaths of numerous animals.
The troubling case of Shayna Burko illustrates a disturbing pattern of alleged animal cruelty that must be addressed with the utmost seriousness. Burko is facing charges for animal cruelty after a long history of alleged offenses, including a previous incident in 2018 where animals were removed from her home due to horrific living conditions, resulting in their starvation and death. The Vanderburgh Humane Society has been actively involved in these cases, expressing anguish and dedication in caring for the animals that have suffered under Burko’s care.
Burko appears to have a repeated habit of acquiring various species, including sugar gliders, fish, and reptiles, only to let them starve. Now is the time for action to ensure that animal cruelty is not tolerated and that those responsible face the consequences of their actions. The court must act swiftly to prevent any further suffering and to impose appropriate penalties that reflect the severity of these alleged crimes.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecutor Perry,
The case against Shayna Burko is a matter of high concern, as it highlights a longstanding issue of reported animal cruelty that demands immediate attention and appropriate consequences. The Vanderburgh Humane Society has documented a pattern of alleged cruelty, beginning in 2018 with the tragic starvation of animals removed from her home. This report of horror reveals a repeated cycle of neglect and suffering, which calls for a thorough and just response from the legal system.
With Burko’s alleged history of acquiring various animals only to neglect and abandon them, it is essential to ensure that she faces tangible repercussions. The community is deeply invested in this case, and there is a collective hope for a resolution that will safeguard future animals from similar fates. Animal cruelty should never be overlooked, and it is vital that the court holds Burko accountable to prevent further suffering in our community.
We urge you to pursue maximum penalties for Shayna Burko to reflect the seriousness of her alleged actions and to send a clear message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated. Justice must be served for the innocent lives affected by her alleged neglect.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
