We, the Undersigned, endorse the following petition:

Expel Animal Torturer from Cornell University

Target: David Skorton, President, Cornell University
Sponsor: Kathryn M
  • Signatures: 2,864
  • Goal: 1,000
  • Deadline: 3-27-2008

Alexander Atkind should be expelled from Cornell University for his heinous attack on a puppy that left the puppy with permanent physical damage (and probably emotional damage as well).

Cornell University is among the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the USA and the world. Alumni of this institution are world leaders in their fields, very productive citiizens and generally good people. Unfortunately, a person who does not fit this profile has slipped through the cracks and been allowed to attend CU, this person is Alexander Atkind.
Mr. Atkind was left to care for the pet of an acquaintance. The puppy chewed a wire that belonged to Mr. Atkind, so in return, Mr. Atkind severely beat the dog, leaving a gaping laceration through which the animals skull could be seen. This, however, was not enough for Mr. Atkind. He then proceeded to pour laundry detergent and bleach over the injured puppy, causing permanent eye damage as well as chemical burns to the face, groin, paws and back of the animal. The animal suffered bloody stools from having ingested the bleach trying to clean its wounds.
When questioned, Mr. Atkind stated that the incident meant nothing to him and that he would indeed do it again. He also stated that he knew how the justice system works and he was confident that he would receive a slap on the wrist and be sent on his way.
It would be tragic if his predictions were correct. This student should be expelled from Cornell, a College well-known for its veterinary program. It would be an insult to the reputation of this University to have this monster call himself an alum.
Please sign this petition to be sent to the president of Cornell, urging him to move towards expulsion of this animal torturer.

Note: Atkind is not a veterinary student...the college simply HAS an excellent prestigious vet program. There seems to be confusion on this. Not that it matters what program he is in..he deserves expulsion regardless of what his major is.

Who needs a sadist in our society? Dont we already have enough of his kind? He can learn in a jail or in a hospital for the mentally ill. Anne

2,826 4:10 pm PST, Nov 13 Mr. Dustin Leclair I swear to god if I lived in the states i would track this bastard down and give him the same treatment as he gave Princess if not severly worse!!! I am appauled at this act of animal cruelty to a family pet that he agreed to babysit. As far as i'm concerned a family pet is a family member and had the dog been a human being he'd be in jail for a long time getting raped up the ass over and over and over again!!!!!!!!
2,825 6:01 am PDT, Nov 1 Ms. Anne Seidel Expell this monster and get him a psychotherapy and some time in jail! He's obviously very dangerous.
2,824 1:30 am PDT, Oct 22 Ms. Tiffany Meininger What kind of people are working @ our universities. This person must be punished. If we don't make people responsible for their actions, then they will continue to hurt others.

Just because he attends an Ivy League school does not mean that he should not be held accountable for what he did to a poor animal. Please make sure that he is punished. He does not deserve to be in a fine school like Cornell.

2,809 2:19 am PDT, Aug 13 Ms. Marian Elliott As we send our young people to institutes of higher learning, we expect that they will be in the company of decent people. Please do the right thing and expel this student that has shown a callous disregard for another living creature. This person is not to be trusted. As an animal abuser, he is violent and has not got the personal discipline neccesary for the safe, normal and healthy interaction with others.
