Target: Jason Anderson, District Attorney, San Bernardino County, California
Goal: Investigate alleged rescue neglect involving hundreds of cats and seek appropriate punishment for substantiated cruelty.
A rescue’s promise is safety. Yet investigators reportedly discovered deceased cats in a garage freezer and buried in a yard during searches linked to Furget Me Not Cat Rescue. The initial announcement described more than 500 living and deceased cats across multiple properties, making careful examination of the circumstances essential.
The investigation spans Upland and Claremont. Authorities also reportedly collected expired medications intended for humans, used needles, and carriers. Allegations of neglect must be tested through veterinary findings, records, and evidence connecting particular people to particular animals. The available announcements do not establish individual guilt.
Hundreds of animals must not be reduced to a headline that disappears before investigators finish their work. Each documented injury or death deserves a clear assessment. Urge prosecutors to coordinate across county boundaries, pursue every supported cruelty charge, and seek meaningful penalties and protective restrictions when the evidence establishes criminal responsibility.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Anderson,
Please ensure a thorough review of the animal cruelty investigation concerning Furget Me Not Cat Rescue, and coordinate with the appropriate authorities handling the Claremont portion. The reported recovery of feline remains from a freezer and backyard, together with allegations about living animals’ care, warrants sustained investigative resources.
We ask your office to support veterinary examination of remains and surviving animals, review treatment and intake records, and establish who controlled their care. Collected medications and needles should be evaluated in context. Please distinguish lawful medical practices and unrelated deaths from any substantiated neglect, and preserve the evidence needed to prove specific offenses.
Where criminal cruelty is established, file appropriate charges and seek sentences reflecting the proven harm and the number of animals affected. Request legally available restrictions on keeping animals when warranted, and coordinate referrals for conduct outside your jurisdiction. Please give this extensive investigation the resources and resolve it requires. Every substantiated offense deserves accountability.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
