My mother's cat, along with countless other innocent animals, has suffered unimaginable pain and long-term damage at the hands of Dr. Haridy at our local veterinary clinic in Lakewood, California. It is with great sadness and frustration that I write this petition to demand the immediate shutdown of this clinic due to the ongoing abuse and death of animals for profit.

My personal story begins when Dr. Haridy subjected my mother's cat to a horrifying experience that resulted in long-term ear damage. He callously inserted a 12-inch long q-tip deep into her ear canal, nearly causing permanent brain damage. This incident left me devastated, but what pains me even more is knowing that my mother's cat is not an isolated case.

Every day, as I read through numerous reviews online, tears stream down my face as I come across heart-wrenching stories of other pets who have suffered under Dr. Haridy's care. These innocent creatures have been hurt, disfigured, and tragically killed while seeking medical attention from a professional who should be dedicated to their well-being.

It has come to my attention that four years ago I reported these incidents to the veterinary board for investigation against Dr. Haridy; however, it deeply saddens me that they are still investigating while more pets continue to suffer under his care. This delay in taking action has allowed this clinic to remain open despite its track record of negligence and cruelty towards animals.

To support our demand for justice and accountability, let us present some relevant facts:

1) Numerous online reviews from pet owners detail instances of mistreatment by Dr. Haridy at the veterinary clinic.
2) The ongoing investigation by the veterinary board indicates serious concerns regarding animal welfare practices at this clinic.
3) Local animal advocacy groups have expressed their alarm over repeated reports of abuse within this veterinary clinic.

It is crucial to emphasize that the facts and statistics provided above are accurate and supported by credible sources. We must ensure that our petition is based on truth and reliable information to strengthen our cause.

We, the undersigned concerned citizens of Lakewood, California, call upon the relevant authorities to take immediate action and shut down this veterinary clinic. The continued operation of this establishment poses a significant threat to the well-being and lives of innocent animals in our community.

By signing this petition, we demand justice for all the animals who have suffered at Dr. Haridy's hands. We urge local authorities to expedite their investigation into these allegations of abuse and negligence, ensuring that appropriate actions are taken against those responsible.

Together, let us stand up against animal cruelty and protect our beloved pets from further harm. It is time for us to unite as a community in demanding justice for these voiceless victims who rely on us for their safety and well-being.
