Two small dogs were reportedly hurled from a bridge and left to fight through frigid water toward marshland. The dogs survived, but the alleged torment and risk of drowning warrant a strong, visible response. We respectfully urge your office to decline plea offers that would lessen accountability and instead pursue the maximum penalties supported by the evidence. We further request restitution to repay veterinary examinations, treatment, boarding, and response costs borne by public agencies and rescues. Firm prosecution here will send a clear message that alleged cruelty against animals carries serious consequences and will not be minimized.
