We are concerned citizens from Redding, CT, USA. Our peaceful town has been disrupted for years by the severe abuse of over 65 goats owned by Nancy Burton. These dear innocent animals were subjected to severe cruelty and the disgraceful condition also created hazardous and unsanitary conditions in our community. The goats often congregated in the roadway, posing a significant traffic hazard. The rotting carcasses of dead goats and piles of goat feces produced noxious smells that permeated our homes and streets.

Despite these clear signs of animal cruelty, Judge Maximino Medina dismissed the charges against Ms. Burton in The Danbury Court recently. His ruling suggested an "Advance Rehabilitation" period of 30 days for Ms. Burton - a decision that does not do justice to the severity and duration (over 12 years) of this abuse.

We believe this ruling is inadequate and request its reversal or at least limit Ms.Burton's permission to own any animals henceforth. She should not be allowed to bring any more animals onto her dilapidated property on Cross Hwy.

This petition is about more than just an unjust court decision; it's about protecting innocent lives from unnecessary suffering and preserving our community's safety and public health standards.

Please sign this petition if you believe in justice for these abused animals and want to prevent further harm from being inflicted upon them or any other creature under Ms.Burton's care.
