Good Afternoon, 

       This is a petition for the removal or resignation of Carol Ann Cutler as Animal Control Officer of Sedgwick, Maine. Carol Ann had neglected to take care of animals in our area in a timely and orderly fashion. She has also tried to remove animals from homes without any due diligence. The Sheriff has had to contact Ms. Cutler and tell her that she, as an animal control officer, has no right to swipe dogs off the street and ‘seize’ animals without due process, as he as a sheriff has no right to walk into a home and take a child without due process (8/23/2021).
     Ms. Cutler has gone above and beyond in making herself judge, jury and prosecutor with great disrespect for our justice system. The bullying and gossiping from her needs to stop. It has been long enough, she has had almost a year and a half to show that she is a professional and capable of handling the process of her job and it still seems as though each day is her first day on the job again. My husband and I have raised, brought to sanctuaries, rescued, homed and loved many animals in our 14 years together including but not limited too (God, forgive me if I forget one!) a parrot, a lizard, cats, new born kittens, a loon, an owl, chickens, ducks, guinea pigs & of course pit bulls, muts, hounds, not to mention our beloved Moose he was our first dog together and dead happily of old age after 12 years of being at our side. We are very responsible pet owners and take our love of animals very seriously.                                                 Ms. Cutler has not only been harassing my family but also a very good friend of mine. She has no reason to contact as him as he doesn’t not live in this town or own a dog located in the town. This man repeatedly told her whom the dog in question belonged to as he was the previous owner but she continued to call (over 6 to times in 36 hours!). I don’t give into bullying and I certainly do not condone harassing a man over 65 who is confined to his home after being t-boned at 70mph. That is not way to treat a human being and any respect I could have mustered in the future for Carol Ann diminished the moment I heard how this gentleman was treated. 
        Whether you have had an experience with Ms. Cutler yourself, know someone who has who has or just believe in my cause and live in the area of Blue Hill peninsula or the town of Sedgwick, please consider signing my petition. Thank you for your time, may all of your furry family members be happy and healthy.
