PETITION LETTER:

Dear District Attorney General Baldwin,

A kitten suffered and died after he was allegedly buried alive. A good Samaritan reportedly found the poor animal in a shallow grave, covered in dirt and blood. We demand justice for this innocent kitten.

The Unicoi Animal Shelter is seeking justice after a six-week-old kitten was rescued from a shallow grave. The kitten, dubbed Warrior by rescuers, gasped for air as dirt clogged his mouth and airway. Though veterinarians gave their best efforts, there was nothing they could do to save the dying kitten. Johnny Mack Rogers has been accused of stomping on Warrior and then burying him alive, classified as aggravated animal cruelty. Police arrested Rogers and he will answer this charge at a later date.

We demand that you seek the maximum penalty in this case.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
