PETITION TARGET: Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman
Over 100 dogs and puppies were rescued from squalid conditions inside a Raleigh, North Carolina, home, where they were reportedly trapped in crowded cages that reached the ceiling or left to wander in cramped, filthy spaces, according to ABC News.
Many were coated in their own waste, underfed, and suffering from matted fur, skin conditions, and dental problems — all signs of prolonged neglect in what appeared to be a puppy mill.
In addition to the dogs, 21 chickens were surrendered from the property and were allegedly neglected as well.
A woman has been arrested in connection with the case and faces six misdemeanor animal cruelty charges.
This heartbreaking situation highlights the urgent need to crack down cruelty and neglect. No animal should be forced to live in such horrific conditions.
Sign our petition urging the Wake County District Attorney to prosecute the individual responsible to the fullest extent of the law — including mandating intensive psychological intervention and a lifelong ban on having animals.
