STOP these people from getting more animals!!!

The Issue

Please help stop Joanne Armstrong and Leroy Burnham from gathering more animals onto their property located on Sandy Creek Valley Road in the Town of Watertown. They were charged in March with 68 counts of animal cruelty and all animals were removed from their possession.  As we speak, they are starting to collect more animals. Apparently, there were not enough complaints regarding the horrendous and deplorable conditions at the "farm" and they may be getting their animals returned to them. This is unacceptable!!!!! These people are incapable of providing care to over 100 animals. An eye witness  stated that the property was littered with carcasses of dead animals while the living animals were walking around the dead cold and hungry. "Veterinarians at the scene were unable to say what caused the horses’ blindness, but said an apparent lack of clean water might have played some role. A town of Watertown fire truck was called in to fill a trough with clean water for some of the animals later in the day." Please show your support and let lawmakers know that this is unacceptable. There is also a Town Board meeting coming up in December that would be an excellent opportunity to show solidarity and help stop their hoarding of animals.
