Dear County of Los Angeles Department of
Animal Care and Control,
This letter is being sent with Check
1020, and I will have proof of your receiving it when the check clears with my
bank. You may consider this a payment under duress as your organization has
failed to provide me with an investigation in good faith which is a requirement
of the law.
Last year I reported to your
organization that one of my neighbors had admitted to shooting cats in his back
yard with a 22 caliber rifle. Whereas this activity was limited to feral
animals I reported him when I learned that he was responsible for the death of
one of my animals. I now believe this man to be responsible for the death of as
many as six animals belonging to myself, 4 cats and 2 dogs.
The complained was investigated by
Officer Armando Ferrufino who on concluding his investigation asked for a favor
on behalf of the suspect proving that his investigation had been biased and
therefore unacceptable in the eyes of the law. I have since obtained a copy of
Officer Ferrufino’s report there are discrepancies between this report and a
proper investigation.
Firstly, the letter I used to report the
crime was missing from the report. This is destruction of evidence. Second,
nowhere in this report does it state that Officer Ferrufino asked the suspect
if he owned a 22 caliber rifle or if he had committed the crime in question. I
informed Officer Ferrufino that I had photographs of my animal’s injuries and he
did not request to see them or note this in his report.
Your organization has willfully refused
to render me a lawful investigation, and you’re expecting me to pay for a
service you refuse to provide is unlawful. Officer Ferrufino appears to feel
that aggravated animal abuse is not a crime worthy of his time. It is not
Officer Ferrufino or County of Los Angeles Animal Care and Control that
determine what is and is not a crime. The people of the state of California
make that determination and your organization is paid to enforce the will of
the people.
I expect an investigation consistent
with the requirements of the law,
Richard Leland Neal
