Jerry is finally out and I honestly still have to pinch myself because it feels like a heavy weight has finally been lifted off my chest. I keep looking at my own pets and thinking about how much safer things are now and I am just so overwhelmed by the …

Kosciusko Animal Control Officer, Jerry Clase, has kept his position despite over 16 signed statements of known animals killings and abuse. The Kosciusko County Council said during a meeting that after investigation, they found no evidence. Really? These statement stories are horrific that include beatings, kicking animals to death, bloody use of neck restraints and shootings. PLEASE sign our petition to present to the Indiana Attorney General, The Indiana State Police and county officials. BE HEARD...DO YOU WANT YOUR ANIMALS SAFE? STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND BE COUNTED!!!!

We are getting so near to that one thousand mark and honestly it feels like my heart is beating out of my chest thinking about handing this over to the Attorney General. Please just look at your phones right now and text this link to someone who might not know what Jerry Clase is doing because we have to hit that milestone before the county officials even think about ignoring us again.

I am honestly struggling to sleep knowing how many stories people are sending me about their own pets and these experiences are just gut wrenching. I have been spending my nights compiling all these accounts because the county officials need to understand that we are not going to just let this fade away while they pretend everything is fine.

Had an altercation with him taking my dog out if my fenced yard while I was sleeping (3rd shift worker) because he thought it was a dog he received a call about.... wasn't even the same breed!! I had a Rottweiler and the call was about a black lab!!

The man needs to be fired from his position. The reported abuse of animals is abhorrent. I also have a niece that was ridiculed inappropriately by him also. No one entrusted with a position for the good of the community be allowed to act the way he does

I know of an instance years ago when an elderly lady called Jerry that a cat had shown up at her house and she wanted Jerry to come and get it and take to shelter and, instead, Jerry got his gun out and shot cat right in front of her. Lady was so mad.

He has been taking it upon himself for years to decide whether he takes an animal to the shelter or shoots it. This happened many times when I volunteered years ago with AWL. Someone would come looking for their animal and it never made it to us. This has to stop!

This has been going on for years with this guy. The things he has done to dogs are now considered felonies. We adopted a dog from here and you could tell that he had been kicked and abused and he hated men. Couldn't prove anything.

Watched him almost choke 2 dogs to death trying to get them from my yard. My husband and I had to do his job for him for the sake of the dogs leaving my yard alive. He is scared of big dogs apparently and you can tell he is hateful twards animals so he must go!
