The
Lawrence County District Attorney’s Office is a proud member
of the Board of Directors of the Lawrence County Animal Relief
Fund. The Office of the District Attorney is primarily responsible
for the prosecution of all crimes committed within Lawrence County,
including the prosecution of individuals charged with acts of
animal abuse and/or cruelty.
The District Attorney’s Office and local
law enforcement
agencies are also responsible for the investigation and
discovery of any act of abuse or
cruelty towards animals of any kind. In furtherance of this
mission the District Attorney shall seek funding for the hiring of a
Humane Officer. This officer shall be part of the District
Attorney’s Office and shall be dedicated to the investigation and
prosecution of individuals committing crimes against animals. “I believe that we have a duty and a responsibility to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and this duty extends to animals as well. Animal abuse and/or cruelty should never be permitted nor tolerated within a community, and I will prosecute all individuals responsible for criminal acts against animals.” Joshua Lamancusa |
