Target: Megan Ferguson, Assistant DA of Angelina County, TX
Goal: Prosecute man who allegedly beat dog on video to fullest extent of law.
Once again, an accused animal abuser is being handed back his reported victims by a lax and uncaring so-called justice system. Lorenzo Johnson was the apparent subject of a Facebook video that went viral. In the video, Johnson is seemingly seen repeatedly whipping a dog that is howling in pain. Neighbors allege it was not the first such incident. After authorities were made aware of the video, Johnson was arrested on felony animal cruelty charges.
In a sad commentary on how “seriously” abuse against animals is often taken in this country, a local judge returned three dogs to the custody of Johnson after he posted bail. This man, apparently caught on video committing abuse, will have unfettered access to these animals. A conviction may be the only way to keep him from potentially harming more innocent living beings. Yet a regional animal welfare organization claims that charges against Johnson were dropped.
Sign the petition below to demand that prosecutors treat this disturbing case with more responsibility and seriousness than the judge seemingly did and reinstate these charges.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear ADA Ferguson,
You have already received thousands of signatures from concerned community members requesting that animal cruelty charges be brought against Lorenzo Johnson, a man depicted in a viral video allegedly abusing his dog. Now comes word from the organization Animal Victory that the felony animal cruelty charges originally brought were dropped. More disturbing still, three animals—including the apparent victim—were returned to this man.
Please bring clarity to this disturbing situation. If charges were indeed dropped despite the reported presence of video evidence, you must offer an explanation at the least or a reinstatement of charges at the most. Do not signal to would-be animal abusers that they have a safe haven in Angelina County.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

How could ANYONE TURN THIS SO CALLED PERSON LOOSE WHEN HE IS SHOWN ON CAMERA????????????
My thoughts exactly. The evidence is clear what more do they need to convict. This scumbag must be punished or is animal abuse not a crime ?
Please do not let this monster out of Jail stop letting these pricks hurt these fur babies
Piece of shit judge is just as bad as the abuser. Rot in hell both of you.
Megan Houck. I definately agree with your comment.
“Piece of shit vile and evil judge is just as vile and evil as the vile and evil psychopathic animal torturing abuser Lorenzo Johnson.
“Rot in hell both of you.”
All animal torturers and animal murderers must be brought to Justice and sentenced to death. And the vile and evil Judges who allow this sadism and evilness to continue must be sacked immediately and brought to Justice and jailed for life.
These vile and evil Judges are psychopathic animal torturing murdering monsters themselves who allow these psychopathic animal torturing murdering monsters like this pos filth on our Planet Lorenzo Johnson from hell get away with the torture of a precious and innocent Dog must also be eradicated from our Planet.
I totally agree with both of your comments.
👍
👍🏼 The legal system must step up!!
Put these horrible people in jail no question!!
Agree 100%
Agree 100%. Why use a judge that doesn’t give a s… about animal cruelty
Prosecute this monster to the fullest extent of the law for egregious animal abuse and cruelty. You have the evidence, you MUST act on it. Animal abuse is a FELONY. Make this monster pay all vet bills to restore this poor dog to full health and BAN him from ever purchasing, owning, caring for, working with or living with any animals ever again.
I think we as “the people”, need to take care of some things like this!!! First cut his arms off and his privates!!! Do not want more scum reproduced, than go drop the bleeding POS in the woods where the wolves and coyotes can take a taste of true EVIL!!!!
How could you do this?? Who is this Idiot, animal neglecting judge?? What’s his name so we can email him a message about his lack of empathy and cruelty?
This is insane!! So I guess the judge is okay putting these dogs back to live in fear with their animal abuser owner?? Maybe the dogs won’t survive the next time. WTF??
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. SOMEONE SHOULD WHIP THIS SCUMBAG UNTIL HE SCREAMS FOR MERCY AND THEN CONTINUE TO BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF HIM. PROSECUTE THIS WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW.
Put this scum bag behind bars OR let the public whip the crap out of him an eye for an eye, POS, I would gladly whip the piss out of him
How could this monster get back animals abused by him? What wrong with this stupid idiot judge???
Everyone needs to call, send emails, any type of communication to the Angelina County, TX, voted officials in office and go after these people. Tell them your true feelings personally. Also, go after Facebook and other social media for posting these things. When you see these postings, report it.
Shame on this Judge!!He needs to not be a Judge if he has no compassions for innocent helpless victims. This dog is a voicelss living being and Justice was not served. This evil human should never be able to own let alone be around any animals for life. He should be behind bars and get whipped till he is bleeding and in horrific pain. Sorry the justice system failed this poor dog and any other animals this judge allowed him to have. Animals deserve nothing but love and kindness not ABUSE!!!
STREET JUSTICE YOU NEIGHBORS! STOP PRETENDING DOING THE RIGHT THING IS IN ANY WAY WORKING FIR INNOCENT ANIMALS! ACCIDENTS HAPPEN AND MAYBE HE DESERVES AN ACCIDENT!
Such PSYCHOS belong nowhere near Animals — PSYCHO WILL NOT stop — PSYCHO is a DANGER to all — as long as Society allows it, PSYCHOS will continue with abuse & death to Animals — ENSURE Idiot-Lorenzo NEVER AGAIN adopts — CRIMES against ANIMALS must be taken SERIOUSLY — Animals MUST be PROTECTED.
Can we just cut to the chase and forget about sending this mother-fucker to jail or making him pay a fine. How about if some people find this cocksucker and tie him to a post, pour gasoline all over his sorry ass and set him on fire. Video tape it and put it on “Pay-per View”. You could make a lot of money from people that would love to see this bastard burned to death. And make sure you have the audio working because his screams would be music to a lot of people’s ears, including mine. Punishments like this is the only thing that will stop the torture of animals because the fuckin’ judges and the courts will do very little about it.
This judge should cower in shame and guilt for such a reckless and heartless decision. Do animals lives mean so little that this pathetic rulemaker deemed them unworthy? How dare he abuse the power of his seat! That man should have been locked away for a long time and never allowed to own an animal again. It is high time dogs and other pets were no longer classified as “property” – the worthless people who abuse them should be classified as “trash” and taken to the curb. May karma rain down on the judge and the culprit – may they both get what they deserve for failing those poor animals!
This mentally deranged severe animal abusing scumbag must be exterminated without delay!
Let’s get decent caring judges who have a heart. If they don’t punish severely then they’re no better than the sickos who are cruel to animals. That piece of human crap who did this needs to be put down.
This judge is a cunt. Inundate this asswipe with letters protests whatever it takes to get him out. This piece of shit along with 2″ boy wonder Lorenzo need yo be whipped into oblivion! Cull the inbred oxygen thief!
HELLO, HELLO IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WITH A WORKING BRAIN AND A COMPASSIONATE HEART? A JUDGE, WELL THAT IS A JOKE ISNT IT!!
TO LET THIS DISGUSTING EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING NEAR ANY ANIMALS EVER AGAIN IS AN INJUSTICE IN ITSELF. WILL SOMEONE NOT SORT THIS VILE EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN OUT?
SHAME ON YOU, YOU MAKE ME SICK, YOU ARE JUST EVIL AND YOUR KARMA WILL FIND YOU, ITS ALL YOURS.
PLEASE STOP THESE WICKED, EVIL EXCUSES FOR HUMANS OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL.
