Target: Rachel Mitchell, Prosecutor for AZ Maricopa County Attorney’s Office
Goal: Prosecute man accused of shooting and almost killing neighbor’s dog to fullest extent.
A family dog playing with a child in his yard was allegedly the victim of a heinous and unprovoked assault. The mother of the child reported that the boy came into the house frantic, saying that their puppy Falco had been shot. When the woman went outside, she was greeted by the shocking sight of Falco moving around the premises in distress, with blood and a swollen face. He showed signs of struggling to breathe. She took her pet immediately for aid. A veterinarian reportedly removed a bullet that had passed through the dog’s nasal area and lodged around his tongue. Although Falco is recovering, he apparently still has bullet fragments inside him and is unable to bark.
A neighbor, Matthew Patrick Wazny, has since been charged with the alleged shooting. According to reports, the man may have been angered after a different dog bit him earlier in the day and presumably shot at Falco from outside the family’s fence. He was also seemingly intoxicated at the time of the incident. The reported shooting is even more disturbing because the young child could have been injured as well.
Charges of animal cruelty have been filed. Sign the petition below to demand full accountability in this disturbing case.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecutor Mitchell,
“It could have been my son.” These were the words Hailey Hernandez delivered after her pet Siberian husky was allegedly shot in the face by Matthew Patrick Wazny. Given that her son was reportedly playing in the yard with their dog Falco at the time the alleged shooting happened, her fears are well-founded.
Although the child was spared, he was still likely traumatized watching as his pet was apparently shot for no reason. And the young animal himself will seemingly endure an agonizing recovery that may never bring him back to full health. Wazny needs to face serious repercussions if he is deemed guilty of this horrendous act.
Please seek the maximum possible penalty and show that the punishment fits the alleged crime.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

no jail, blow his face off like he tried to do and luckily failed then sit back and have a drink!
Absolutely!
EXACTLY! No excuses for this POS. Poor dog !
WHAT A BASTARD!!!
HE SHOOTS SOMEONE’S DOG!? AAND WITH A CHILD PRESENT?! This is way beyond animal abuse! He needs to be prosecuted for the abuse AND child endangerment AND illegally firing a weapon too close to someone’s property! No more slap on the hand – jail him!
Yes!!😡jail for him
I DON’T WANT MY TAX DOLLARS SPENT ON HOUSINGS THIS LESS THAN HUMAN BEING SICK PHYCOPATH IN PRISON THE BEST PUNISHMENT IS TO EXACUTE HIM NO MERCY!!!
What a heartbreaking act! The poor puppy did not deserve this. Make the jerk suffer!! Put him away for good!
Please make sure this man can’t hurt any more innocent animals ever again! He’s a danger to everyone that lives near him
I agree. He is a danger to animals and people. He needs a long prison sentence!
Fry him!
This neighbor should be shot in the face from point-blank range.
And eye for an eye! Shoot his ass in the face and let’s see if he survives!! Just a fucking puppy! Over probably the stupidest Argument! This “man” wouldn’t be owning a gun if he’s so willing to shoot whoever with it! A real man doesn’t use his gun for violence!
It never gets easier opening these petition e-mails. I am fearful to see what a disgusting and vile human has done now to these sweet precious innocent animals.
Those like Rachel Mitchell, Prosecutor please do ALL that must be done to severely punish ALL these demons that take out their sad little lives on innocent beings. PLEASE GIVE FALCO REAL JUSTICE!!!
Speedy and full recovery little FALCO!!!!!!!
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS AHOLE GET SHOT IN THE FACE! Matthew Patrick Wazny does not deserve any soft treatment!!!!!! or this will happen again!
Rachel – Matthew Patrick Wazny is a dangerous individual (not to mention an uneducated POS), and he needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent allowed under Arizona law. Time to take animal abuse crimes seriously. Wazny needs to spend some time behind bars and be banned from owning animals for the rest of his days…
…or a gun!
Shoot the asshole in the face!!
Speedy recovery for Falcon! Too many people have guns that shouldn’t have them!
Blow his brains up
This incident deserves serious consideration and prosecution with monetary damages due to the injured parties. Drinking, pets, children and guns are never a good combination.
Hoping this monster never gets to reproduce. What utter stupidity!!!
This case is disturbing. It is a miracle that this puppy survived being shot in the face. A young innocent spirit of innocence learning early in life the evil of man. To make matters worse, not only did this little child playing with the puppy escape from being shot as well, but is now traumatized over the events that took place. Matthew Patrick Wazny should have his guns removed from him. Only an irresponsible idiot would be under the influence of alcohol and then pick up his gun and start shooting other peoples family members.
Cut out his voice box and anything else and leave the drunk in his yard!

Thank you for the link showing this bastard puppy shooter.
I’m sure someone, group or whatever can locate this prick and severely teach him the error of his actions. Looks like an arrogant bastard in the photo.
I’m sure that many people would like to re-style the tossers face so he got some idea of what it was like for the little dog.
All of these animal torturing bastards need taking out and then, only then would there be much less of this shit going on around the world.
Animals have more right to live than these torturing shitbags!!!
J.W.
I strongly agree that this monster deserves to be shot in the face ! Thank goodness that poor dog is now recovering.❤️🐕🙏
Agree totally. The only punishment that asshole deserves.
Animals shall not be victims of DEHUMANIZED and DESENSITIZED SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS, even if they are drunk! Crimes committed against innocent animals are increasingly GROTESQUE because the punishment for animal abuse is not severe enough, and in many cases does not exist. A slap on the wrist is a MOCKERY of animal victims. These satanic and pathological monsters must be severely punished. This man must also be forbidden from coming near animals ever again.
SET a PRECEDENT, and punish to the full extent of the law!
Dirty fat ugly old creepy dude. Looks nasty- trashy. Eye for an eye. Good riddance. No need for this pig on the planet. Let Hamas have him
Shoot him and let him died slowly with no help
