Puppy Torturers Receive Strong Sentence Congratulate Georgia DA!
Target: Fulton County District Attorney Paul HowardSponsored by: ASPCA
Last August, two teenage brothers in Atlanta, GA, were charged with torturing and baking a three-month-old puppy to death. Just recently, justice was served - the brothers received the maximum sentence allowable in each of the nine counts under which they were charged. These sentences will be served concurrently, and in effect, the young men will serve 10 years in prison and 10 years under strict probation, for a total of 20 years.
The horrific death of this poor puppy touched animal lovers around the world, and the strong sentencing in this case highlights how strongly the public feels about cruelty toward animals.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard felt so strongly about seeking justice in this case describing the death of this puppy as "so egregious it cries out for special attention" - that he sent a letter to Georgia Governor Sonny Purdue requesting that the penalty for animal cruelty be raised above the current five year maximum.
DA Howard should be applauded for his commitment to justice and the humane treatment of animals please sign this petition today to congratulate him on success in this case!

Thank you, DA Howard, for setting an example and acting against animal cruelty. Other DAs across the country should take a leaf out of your book. You are an honourable and compassionate man.

As an animal lover and a mother, I would like to thank you for imposing the maximum sentence on these two. We need more DA's and politicians like you to ensure that the law is carried out justly, which it, unfortunately, isn't most of the time. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job!!!

Dear Honorable Howard: Thank you for your neverending fight against animal cruelty. Anyone who hurts an innocent animal, child or elderly should be put through the same just to let them know what it feels like. To pick on defenseless beings is the ultimate low that a human can do. It must be stopped. Thank you for playing a major part in this campaign. Bless you. J. Czarnota |
