Re: Kisha C. Curtis, Defendant

Prosecutor’s Case No. 11002173

Torture, Neglect, and Abandonment of Dog now known as “Patrick”

Dear Ms. Cucinello,

In light of the long-standing criminal abuse committed by Ms. Kisha Curtis that occurred over several months and her disposal of 'her' dog left to die in a trash bag, I request she be sentenced to the full extent of the law. A message must be sent to other animal abusers that this is not tolerated in our society.

Ms. Curtis, a defendant in the above-indicated animal abuse case was the 'owner' of a dog known as Patrick.  Based on his physical condition upon discovery in the trash bag, she should not be given anything less than the maximum penalty allowed by law. Ms. Curtis neglected the dog, failed to provide nourishment to the extent that the animal, who once was found near death in a garbage bag after being thrown down a garbage chute from the 19th floor of a 22 floor building, was nothing but skin and bones, totally dehydrated. The fact that he survived is a miracle.

Patrick’s condition did not occur overnight. Ms. Curtis let him starve without any thinking about the animal’s welfare. To allow this defendant a plea deal, which would be 18-month probation is unacceptable. To allow a plea deal would be akin to discard the validity of a life. Patrick may be a dog, but he is a living being.

Those who abuse animals for no obvious reason, are "budding psychopaths." They have no empathy and only see the world as what it's going to do for them.

History is full of high-profile examples of this connection:

Patrick Sherrill, who killed 14 coworkers at a post office and then shot himself, had a history of stealing local pets and allowing his own dog to attack and mutilate them.

Earl Kenneth Shriner, who raped, stabbed, and mutilated a 7-year-old boy, had been widely known in his neighborhood as the man who put firecrackers in dogs? rectums and strung up cats.

Brenda Spencer, who opened fire at a San Diego school, killing two children and injuring nine others, had repeatedly abused cats and dogs, often by setting their tails on fire.

Albert DeSalvo, the "Boston Strangler" who killed 13 women, trapped dogs and cats in orange crates and shot arrows through the boxes in his youth.

Carroll Edward Cole, executed for five of the 35 murders of which he was accused, said his first act of violence as a child was to strangle a puppy.

In 1987, three Missouri high school students were charged with the beating death of a classmate. They had histories of repeated acts of animal mutilation starting several years earlier. One confessed that he had killed so many cats he?d lost count. Two brothers who murdered their parents had previously told classmates that they had decapitated a cat.

Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer had impaled dogs, heads, frogs, and cats on sticks.
