Target: Karen McDonald, Prosecutor of Oakland County, Michigan
Goal: Prosecute the individual allegedly responsible for neglecting over 30 animals to the fullest extent of the law.
An Oakland County woman has been charged after authorities reportedly removed 29 dogs and eight cats from her home in Pontiac, Michigan. The animals were allegedly living in abusive and neglectful conditions, prompting concerns about their well-being and the enforcement of animal welfare laws.
The woman faces charges of failing to provide adequate care to 25 or more animals—a felony—and operating an unregistered animal shelter, a misdemeanor. Officials stated that one cat had to be euthanized due to its condition, while the remaining animals are under the care of the Oakland County Animal Shelter and Pet Adoption Center.
This is not the first time the individual has faced such allegations. She is also reportedly facing charges in Macomb County, where six dogs were in legal limbo for nearly a year. These dogs were eventually adopted, but the prolonged situation highlights ongoing concerns about the treatment of animals in her care.
Animal neglect and abuse are serious offenses that cause immense suffering to innocent creatures. It is imperative that those allegedly responsible are held accountable to prevent future incidents and uphold animal welfare standards. Send a clear message that neglect will not be tolerated.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecutor McDonald,
I am writing to express deep concern regarding the recent case involving a woman from Pontiac who has been charged with neglecting over 30 animals in her care. Reports indicate that 29 dogs and eight cats were living in abusive and neglectful conditions at her residence. Additionally, one cat was reportedly euthanized due to its condition, and the other animals are currently under the care of the Oakland County Animal Shelter and Pet Adoption Center.
This individual is also reportedly facing similar charges in Macomb County, which suggests a troubling pattern of behavior that puts the welfare of numerous animals at risk. The alleged neglect not only causes suffering to these innocent creatures but also undermines public trust in animal rescue operations.
I urge you to prosecute this case to the fullest extent of the law. Holding those allegedly responsible for such neglect accountable is essential to prevent future incidents and protect animals from harm. By taking decisive legal action, you will send a strong message that animal neglect and abuse are serious offenses that will not be tolerated in our community.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
