Keep Animal Abuser Behind Bars

On Easter weekend of 2004, Ronald Fredricks of Seaside Heights, NJ, was arrested, following an investigation into the burnings of two puppies, and 18 month-old mixed breed named Poppy, and a 12 month-old black chow named Shadow. Both dogs were injured when Fredricks allegedly placed WD-40 lighter fluid, on their heads and set them on fire. Now, almost 9 months later, Ronald Fredricks has been sentenced to 2 18-month jail terms for each puppy, and is incarcerated in State Prison.

This is about to change according to the Asbury Park Press. The article reads, "Less than two months after a Seaside Heights man was sentenced to state prison for setting two dogs on fire, the state Parole Board has issued notice of his possible release as early as April". "Now the Parole Board has issued notice that early next year it will consider whether to release Fredricks from prison by his first possible parole date of April 25". This is a complete outrage! How could they even consider letting him off on parole after what he's done?

The justice system in New Jersey is pretty confused and ignorant to let a monster like this off. Please, from the bottom of my heart, I'm asking the New Jersey State Parole Board to really consider what they're thinking about doing. If Ronnie could burn two defenseless puppies, are you going to wait until he kills a person, and then do something about it? Please don't let Fredricks have parole, it's not fair to the puppies, or the owners. Think about public safety.

I've done everything one person can possibly do to get Fredricks behind bars for what he's done, and you're going to let him off like it's nothing? Please think and consider Ronald Fredrick's crimes, and how much those dogs have suffered (Ronnie did burn the ears off one of the dogs).
