According to our outreach to his administrative center, Kirk Martin, the district legal professional for Tioga County, New York, has simply known as and confident PETA that the person who allegedly set hearth to a barn at Tioga Downs harness racing monitor and burned greater than two dozen horses alive will face criminal fees for killing the animals, along with arson, attack, legal mischief, and housebreaking.
PETA known as for cruelty-to-animals fees to be added to the opposite fees at the day the hearth used to be set, and we then requested the DA to price in particular beneath New York statute § 361, which prohibits the willful destruction of a horse used for racing. Martin says that the alleged arsonist can be charged one at a time for each horse who died—that implies an extra two dozen or extra criminal fees.
Because of all of you who known as and steered the DA to do proper via the true sufferers of this horrible crime: the horses.
