PETITION TO PREVENT THE RETURN OF ABUSED ANIMALS TO COUPLE IN OPPENHEIM, NEW YORK.
We, the undersigned are signing this petition to protest the return of 50+ abused animals to Dr. James and Henriette Fagan of Oppenheim, New York.
In November 2003, The Fulton County Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Spring Farm Cares investigated a complaint of animal abuse against Dr. James Fagan, and his wife, Henriette Fagan. During the investigation, 30 dogs were found covered in mud and feces, and 40 guinea pigs were found living in cages lined with five to six inches of feces. The animals were starved and disease ridden. 14 draft horses were removed, who were underweight and emaciated. One horse was 500 pounds underweight. While the investigators found several animal corpses, a member of the SPCA watched a rabbit die in front of her. The variety of animals removed from the home included: 30 dogs, 40 guinea pigs, horses, donkeys, cows, sheep, pigs, and 75 100 different types of fowl, including chicken and peacocks.
An article in the Leader Herald from 04/01/2004 stated that Mrs. Fagan pled guilty to one charge of failure to provide sustenance to the animals in her care, and a DEC charge of keeping 3 Canadian Geese captive. Action was not taken against her husband, Dr. James Fagan, who has pleaded not guilty to a similar charge.
The gross unfairness of this situation is the plea deal that was reached!! Mrs. Fagan will receive a sentence of 3 years of probation, and will have 30 50 of the animals returned to her. Monthly veterinarian visits will take place, to check on the animals remaining in her care.
The link for the article is: www.leaderherald.com/news/story/041202004_new01_oppenheim0401.asp.
The remaining 200 animals are in the care of Fulton County SPCA and Spring Farm Cares; many have been placed in unpaid foster homes. As of 04/01/2004 Spring Farm Cares has spent $100,000.00 on the care of these animals, or $750.00 per day.
Dr. and Mrs. Fagan have to pay nothing for the care of these animals that they abused.
By signing this petition we are asking that NO animals be returned to Dr. and Mrs. Fagan; that they receive the maximum sentence allowed by law, and that they reimburse the SPCA and Spring Farm Cares for the money spent on the care of the animals.
