The Issue

THIS POOR HORSE STILL NEEDS YOU SEEK JUSTICE FOR HIM NOW!  Worked and tortured to death by his Amish owner! ASK THAT THE OWNER NO LONGER BE ALLOWED TO OWN ANIMALS! Feel the horses fear and pain as he died on the road collapsed by the heavy load his owner forced on him. Then his owner kicked him and whipped him for not getting up. His owner showed no mercy to the horse. We ask the courts to show the same mercy the owner showed the horse! Charges have been served for the abuse of this horse. PLEASE sign this petition and share, share, share, asking for the law to bring full penalty against the man that abused and terrorized this poor horse to the point that even after 1,000 gallons of water was used to try to save it had to be killed.

The more people that sign, the more this is kept in the publics eye the better chance we have of getting at least some justice. Image the agony, the fear the pain this animal felt. As the owner with no mercy stood over the suffering tortured animal and added to the animal's pain and fear. We ask that not only a fine be levied but that jail time be included in the awful crime. These crimes will not be stopped if we keep just giving a slap on the wrist. This man had proven he is not fit to own animals and as has been done in many cases of animal abuse we also as that the law bar him from owning any animals where more abuse can be had. Please help bring justice to this poor horse who had no voice and could not defend himself against two Amish men who over worked him in the heat and then beat him with no mercy.

We are told that the maxim fine that can be levied is $750.00 and or 90 days in Jail. For each charge of abuse. Two charges of abuse have been filed. We ask for the maxim on both.

Petitioners, we need your help by signing and sharing this petition far and wide. The more people that know about it the more pressure to do something. Perhaps then no other animal will share the same horrendous fate. Please put yourself in place of the poor horse, the fear, the agony that were his last moments. When the horse couldn't go any farther the man was reported that he beat the horse with a whip in the face. Kicking it in the abdomen for not doing the work the Amish owner admitted was to much and the horse could not do.

This is a clear case of abuse that cannot be swept under the rug. Animal abuse is now a Federal crime that is tracked by the FBI. The FBI has classified animal abuse as a top-tier felony. We need to take this as serious as the FBI is now taking animal abuse.

As reported by WGAL news this horse had to be
euthanized after
officers tried to save horse. The local fire company was called to cool-off animal with water. If that is not a clear case of abuse nothing is. They used about 1,000 gallons of water to try to cool the horse off. The local SPCA told Channel 8 news that the offense would only be a summary offense that would be nothing more then getting a traffic ticket. This is insane. This man must be punished in a way he will not do it again.
A witness saw this Amish man hitting the horse in the face with a whip kicking it in the abdomen and more. That with the over burdened work load killed this horse. A clear sign of intentional abuse!

We as a people need to speak for the ones that cannot speak. This horse cannot speak for himself. We ask that this case not only be fully investigated but that the abuse be punished by the fullest extent of the law. We also ask that this abuser be no longer allowed to own any animal. The Federal Bureau of investigation sees this as a serious crime as a Type A offense, " Under the changes, animal cruelty it would be considered a crime against society and a “Type A” offense within the four categories: simple/gross neglect, and intentional abuse and torture.

According to the FBI, the official definition of animal cruelty will be:

Intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly taking an action that mistreats or kills any animal without just cause, such as torturing, tormenting, mutilation, maiming, poisoning, or abandonment. Included are instances of duty to provide care, e.g., shelter, food, water, care if sick or injured; transporting or confining an animal in a manner likely to cause injury or death; causing an animal to fight with another; inflicting excessive or repeated unnecessary pain or suffering, e.g., uses objects to beat or injure an animal. "

An animal is a very easy victim. An animal can't pick up a phone and call 911. You must now be this horses voice and the voice of the others that go abused by signing and sharing this petition you can help bring some justice for this horse and perhaps save others from the same fate
