Maryland Attorney General Douglas Gansler 200 St. Paul Place Baltimore, MD 21202 Attorney General Gansler: We, the undersigned, request the maximum legal sentence be sought in connection with the animal cruelty and animal mutiliation charges filed against Mr. Ethan Weibman. The pending case numbers are 5B02116112 and 1B02113084. We request this for two reasons: 1. Scholarly research has long proven that animal abusers "graduate" to interpersonal violence against individuals. New research also indicates that animal abusers are more likely to commit property, drug and public disorder offenses. If found guilty, Mr. Weibman should be given the maximum allowable sentence to protect the general public. 2. While companion animals continue to be wrongly classified in many jurisdictions as "property", the state of Maryland can and should hold for basic human decency in seeking the maximum sentence for Mr. Weibman if found guilty. Torturing, hurting and mutiliating defenseless animals is not something society can or should support and the maximum sentence, should Mr. Weibman be found guilty, will reverbate throughout the public. We respectfully demand that the maximum sentence be sought in the prospecution of Mr. Weibman. Your attention to this matter is appreciated. Respectfully, The Undersigned

Maximum penalty is the only right answer here. This is pure evil.

PLEASE DONT LET HIM OFF EASY. He needs help or at least to be kept away from innocent creatures who cant protect themselves.

This makes me sick. People who hurt animals are cowards and deserve to rot in jail.

I grew up and went to middle school and high school with him we were actually somewhat close friends. He really is not an evil person and actually does Care for animals the family poodle that lived with them was treated as a human being and dotted apon. Now that said his actions are unforgivable and in no way am I saying I tolerate what he did. Knowing him for years and spending time with him growing up he has severe mental issues. He is extremely bipolar schizophrenic and I forget what else but he is highly medicated to the point where he has prescription bottles all over the place not that he abuses but because he needs them to balance brain chemistry. His father is a doctor he comes from a very wealthy family but I can assure you his clout and stature in the community did not make him think that he could get away with things like this and I'm saying that because I know him personally very well. I went to college to study psychology and I have never met someone so unstable at times as this individual. For a person to take a perfectly healthy cat from a shelter and then bring it back 2 Days later dead and act like nothing is wrong asking for a healthy cat really showcases the fact that he is not stable on his meds. Again let me reiterate I am not sticking out for him or condoning his behavior at all but as someone who knows him quite intimately for many years I feel that the public needed a better understanding of how chemically unbalanced his brain is. Yes he should face punishment for what he did but his severe mental illnesses need to be taken into consideration when considering his punishment.
