Imagine mourning the loss of your beloved pets because their lives were needlessly cut short due to negligence by an individual entrusted with their care. This is the heartbreaking reality we face, and unfortunately, ours is not an isolated incident. Sam Vargo, of animal control, failed to adhere to the basic protocols put in place to protect and reunite lost pets with their families. His repeated negligence not only violates Pennsylvania laws designed to protect animals but also shatters the trust of our community members.

In Pennsylvania, law requires holding stray animals for a minimum of 48 hours and a mandatory check for microchips before any irreversible actions. These regulations exist not simply as formalities but as vital measures to ensure pets find their way back home safely. Yet, Sam Vargo's blatant disregard for these rules reflects a gross misconduct that cannot be overlooked.

Countless families live in fear of losing their pets in this unethical manner. It’s time for a change—a change that ensures the humane treatment and protection of all animals under state custody. We demand that Sam Vargo be removed from his position at animal control and that a full investigation into his practices be conducted. It is crucial to have individuals in these roles who respect and follow animal protection laws.

We DEMAND his license be revoked, if he even has one. We DEMAND removal from all animal related positions!!! Enough is enough!!! Stop the animal cruelty!!!

Signing this petition helps call attention to these unlawful actions and holds those in power accountable for allowing such behavior to continue unchecked. Demand a safe and just system for our animals. Please sign and share this petition to drive the necessary change.
