Started by Elizabeth Sprague 11 years, 8 months ago
Help us bring attention to the Town of Essex, Connecticut for the lack of action on their Animal Control Officer's part in not helping a neglected, injured, malnourished dog. Complaints came in regarding this poor animal 3 years ago, and nothing was done. What's worse, is the animal's owner has not been charged with anything in this matter! How about animal cruelty, neglect, unnecessary infliction of suffering, failure to provide medical care, etc.? Please lend your name to our petition to ensure that the animal residents of our little town don't go without their basic needs due to the lack of action of a town employee.

Animal Control needs to the job they were hired to do. How was this allowed to go on for so many years? A/C needs to be held accountable right along with the abusers because knowing and doing nothing is abuse too!

Sarah Fowler (ACO over the past 3 years) and the owner, Sean Alexander, both need to be arrested and prosecuted for Animal Cruelty. No excuses!

this isn't the first animal that has suffered at that house there was a Shepard that choked to death 20 years ago. He is no longer considered family to me!!

Billie and the Essex Community deserve to know why this poor girl was left to suffer when the ACO Joe Heller was fully aware of the situation and that the dog was in danger. He needs to be charged as well for due negilence! Being an animal rescue it is not the first time I have been made aware of situations in Essex where people have been bitten by a stray dog or have found a roaming dog and have called the ACO with no action being taken. This is completely unacceptable as this is the job they were hired to do with Taxpayers picking up the salary for said job.

Seems this was reported YEARS AGO by a neighbor and NOTHING was done about it? Looks like MORE people should be held accountable as well as the owners!!!

If this had happened to a child the TV and newspaper would explode with it. Why does it always take good people a combined effort to have the right thing done.
