After being arrested for this incident Alexis Lowery continued to laugh when speaking to the police. SHE HAS NO REMORSE AT ALL!!! Being charged with just a misdemeanor and probation will be a joke to her!!!!! Currently her charge is a felony, but since they have no prior criminal history there is a very high chance that this will be plea bargained to a misdemeanor, fines and probation. WE NEED STRICT AND HARSE LAWS WHEN IT PERTAINS TO ANIMAL ABUSE. THIS HAS TO STOP NOW!!!!

Here is the radio interview that our Sheriff, Tom Schneider stated that this will probably be dropped to a misdemeanor!!!

To States Attorney's Office of Macon County, IL:

We write to respectfully request that you (impose/seek) the maximum penalty against Alexis Lowery and Jatavia Singleton, who allegedly committed the crime of aggravated cruelty to animals.

We encourage you to prosecute Alexis Lowery and Jatavia Singleton to the fullest extent of the law for their cruel and remorseless crime. If you don't already know, social scientists and law enforcement officials have identified animal abuse as a symptom of emotional illness and a precursor to violent crimes against human beings. For your reference I have attached several examples of convicted criminals with a background of animal abuse.

Several states now prosecute animal abuse as a felony offense and impose mandatory psychiatric counseling along with jail time and fines. Alexis Lowery and Jatavia Singleton obviously are very disturbed, as a normal person would not automatically react to a situation with such out-of-control violence.

As the trail of sad examples below show, and recent violence across our country attest to; it is time to send a clear message to people capable of intentionally inflicting serious injury or death to helpless animals, that such brutal and senseless crimes will not be tolerated and there are guaranteed consequences for those who would show such disdain for the law.

As a society we must call a halt to the acceptance of animal cruelty and enforce a policy of harsh punishment for such crimes!!! To allow individuals guilty of perpetrating such cruel and violent acts to go unpunished or not sufficiently punished, would be to sanction these horrific crimes and would permit them, and others, to possibly go on to commit serious and violent crimes against innocent human beings or animals.

Please protect the children, animals and citizens of Decatur, Illinois by giving Alexis Lowery and Jatavia Singleton a strict and harsh punishment for their horrific acts of cruelty upon this poor, tiny, innocent kitten. Anyone who devalues life in this manner should not be walking the streets without immediate psychiatric treatment.
Punishing Alexis Lowery and Jatavia Singleton with just a misdemeanor and a fine is NOT enough!!!! Think of how the police stated that Alexis Lowery laughed about the kicking of the kitten even after she was arrested for the above-mentioned charges!!! No remorse at all!!!!




ATTACHMENT:
CASES OF ANIMAL ABUSERS PROGRESSING TO HUMAN VIOLENCE

Recent cases in the news of random attacks on high school students and children show that each disturbed individual had a history of animal abuse. Research in psychology and criminology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty against animals often move on to their fellow humans. The following list is just a "sample" of people who first committed crimes against animals and graduated to committing crimes against humans. EACH TIME WE IGNORE ANIMAL ABUSE, WE ALLOW THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE PERPETUATOR'S EMOTIONAL ILLNESS WILL ESCALATE INTO HUMAN TRAGEDY, SOMETIMES OF EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS!
