things to do today
Jul. 19th, 2002 04:00 pmI've faxed them and a letter is on the way. This is the info from PETA.
"Thank you for contacting us about this hideous case. We are sending a letter to the Clay County prosecutor, and urge you and your friends to do the same. Please request that in addition to a period of incarceration, this man undergo a mandatory psychological evaluation and necessary counseling at his own expense. Insist that he be prohibited from owning or harboring animals in the future, all contact with animals, and that any animals currently in his custody be immediately seized. Polite letters should go to:
The Honorable Don Norris
Clay County Prosecutor
Clay County Prosecutor’s Office
11 S. Water
Liberty, MO 64068
Fax: 816-792-7684
By sending copies of your prosecutor letter to your local media outlets you help ensure that this story continues to be covered, and stays alive in people’s minds.
You may also wish to send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper, expressing your outrage and conveying how important it is to take these crimes seriously. Point out that studies have shown, and both law enforcement officials and top medical professionals agree, people who abuse animals invariably go on to abuse people. These criminals pose a risk not just to animals, but to the community at large. See http://www.peta-online.org/mc/facts/fsc24.html ."
