Target: Matt Weintraub, District Attorney of Bucks County, Pennsylvania
Goal: Ensure legal consequences for the individual allegedly responsible for the cruel shooting of Tootsie and Jackie.
In Falls Township, Pennsylvania, a harrowing event unfolded where two cats reportedly faced brutal acts of violence. Allegedly, Shawaun Lakins, identified by Bucks County SPCA (BCSPCA), shot these innocent animals. Tootsie, a white cat, tragically succumbed to her injuries, leaving a community in shock. The stark reality of this alleged cruelty highlights an urgent need for justice.
Further details depict a chilling scenario. Video evidence purportedly shows a man, believed to be Lakins, wearing a trench coat, concealing something. Sounds resembling gunshots were heard, followed by Tootsie and another cat, Jackie, fleeing in terror. Jackie, who survived, underwent surgery for a severely injured eye. These specific, disturbing details underscore the severity of the alleged offense.
This case underscores a broader issue: animal cruelty cannot go unpunished. For Tootsie, whose life ended abruptly, and for Jackie, whose world changed forever, justice is imperative. Urge the District Attorney of Bucks County to pursue this case with the utmost diligence.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney Weintraub,
In your esteemed capacity, you bear a crucial responsibility to uphold justice, especially in cases of alleged animal cruelty. The incident in Falls Township, involving the alleged shooting of two cats by Shawaun Lakins, demands your attention. Tootsie, an innocent white cat, was killed, and Jackie, another cat, was severely injured. This act, as alleged, represents a heinous disregard for animal life and welfare.
Video evidence in this case purportedly captures the sound of gunshots and the immediate aftermath. The owner’s discovery of Tootsie’s lifeless body paints a heart-wrenching picture. Jackie’s subsequent surgery, necessitated by a damaged eye, further emphasizes the brutality of the event. These disturbing details are not just mere facts; they are testaments to the pain reportedly inflicted upon these animals.
In light of these allegations, we urge you to take decisive action. Legal repercussions for such acts of cruelty are essential to uphold the moral fabric of our society. By pursuing this case, you send a clear message: animal cruelty is a serious offense in Bucks County. We count on your commitment to justice to ensure that the alleged perpetrator faces appropriate consequences for their actions.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Until animal cruelty is taken more seriously by officials, this sort of garbage will continue to go on.
I blame the juatice system as much as the criminals.
AND I ALSO BLAME ASSHOLES WHO LET THIER CATS OUTSIDE.
No , wrong , there’s only one person to blame for this Cruelty and it’s Shawaun Lakins. He belongs in prison.
You might want to read more about what happens to cats that go out ASSHOLE OWNERS ARE ALSO TO BLAME.
agree 1000%!!!
Amen!!
Shoot the SOB and the way it (human pronoun deliberately not used) did these defenseless cats. It will continue to kill until stopped. This is evil and you can’t counsel it or medicate it away.
Right on!! 100% correct!!
Death is the only way to stop this absurd and horrible cruelty!! We are enraged!!
Pienso exactamente igual Liz!!!!
EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR EVER EXACUTE THESE LESS THAN HUMAN BEINGS SICK PHYCOPATHS THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP ANIMAL ABUSE ALL AROUND OUR WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is PREMEDITATED MURDER!!!
Must be punished as such!! May this brutal killer die a thousand torturous deaths and be damned to hell!!
The creep should get the maximum sentence, possble.
Yes, but the problem is the maximum sentence for animal cruelty is never sufficient and almost always inadequate.
It’s horrible and there are a lot of psychopaths out in the world who kill for fun, but it’s a risk you take if you have cats outside and if they wander. People have gotten really bad about letting dogs roam too, culturally some groups like Hispanics still think it’s ok to let dogs roam and don’t get animals fixed. Now with the huge influx of Hispanics there are stray dogs everywhere, and low income neighborhoods have always been bad about loose dogs. We need to get pet populations in check and discourage breeding of any type of dog and cat.
You are a moron. You might want to get some stats on what white people do and say. Example. Texas. People are allowed to leave dogs on chains outside. Greg Abbott never signed law saying it was inhumane. Two. Steve Scaliese of Iowa, a CUNTservative says its ok to watch dog fighting videos.
Well Gilda I’ve spent many summers living in Baja and traveling thru South America so I know exactly what I’m talking about. Even in big cities people own dogs that live on the streets, wealthier people properly house their pets. I also said that poor USA neighborhoods are almost as bad whether black, white, etc.
But Hispanics think it’s perfectly fine to let their dogs run around a big city that I live in, small dogs, big dogs, purebreds whatever. And Hispanics don’t get them spayed or neutered, since you’re Latino maybe work at educating your people and volunteer. You know there’s a huge problem in your culture with this and your nasty language and bizarre obscure anti white political references have nothing to do with the subject matter at hand.
I AM TALKING ABOUT AMERICA YOU IDIOT.
And moron. I AM ITALIAN. You racist pos.
Amen!
AMEN. Another moronic racist pos.
And well Robert the idiot. Know what does NOT get in the news? Long Island feral cat killers. WHITE REDNECKS THAT SHOOT. POISON AND DO OTHER SHIT TO FERALS AND STRAYS.You were saying?
This POS planned to shoot these innocent animals and needs to be punished to the fullest extent of the law, which still will not be punishment enough. We need to strengthen the punishment to real prison time in addition to fines and bans on having pets. This is especially disgusting as it took place in my home county.
I HOPE BY THE TIME I SIGN THIS THEY HAV PROSECUTED THIS EVIL MURDERER MONSTER AND LOCKED HIM UP!!! HE BRUTALLY MURDERED THIS INNOCENT AND HELPLESS CAT AND ATTEMPTED MURDER ON THE OTHER ONE WHO BARELY SURVIVED!! HE SHOULD NEVER SEE THE FREE WORLD OR HE WILL NOT STOP!! HE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND KEPT AWAY FROM ALL ANIMALS!!!
If we allow these people who do so much harm to go free we then condemn our own society. Cruelty to animals is the precursor to domestic violence. These thugs harm others because they can. They are less than human and total cowards. If someone did this to them they would cry and scream but animals can’t. These people are not human, are all mentally challenged and if our courts and judges don’t see that then their eyes need to be examined. People with hears of stone need to be placed in cells of stone.
One Green Planet has an article saying there is a link between animal cruelty and domestic violence. Years ago a pos fostered a kitten for group i volunteered for. He said kitten fell off table. It was thrown against the wall we later found out. This pos also beat his wife. Kitten could not be saved.
Find the human-like psychologically disturbed vermin and give it the same treatment ls these defenseless innocent cats!
It is not human, so destroy it.
It has no right to live!
KEEP YOUR CATS AND DOGS INSIDE!!!
This is just ANOTHER reason why I would NEVER EVER allow my cats to go outside!!!!! WAYYYY TOO MANY EVIL PSYCHOTIC MONSTERS OUT THERE!!!!!
THIS POS 🤬 NEEDS TO ROT IN JAIL!!!!
Exactly! Assholes should never be allowed to own cats.
Agreed; they’re just asking for psychopaths to come around and torture/kill their pets.
WAKE UP, CAT OWNERS!
There are stories like this that people have no clue that is hoing on. Long Island. People find dead ferals and strays EVERY SINGLE DAY. No evidence as to who are shooting them and people do not give a shit. My family says a bunch of rednecks are responsible. So does my ex boyfriend.
This moron roams the street at night and it’s about time someone took a pot shot!!
Just hang the asshole by his balls, then shoot them off, one at a time, one for each cat.
Que cette ordure-tueur soit exécutée! Malade dans la tête!
If that was my pet, if he knows whats good for him, that POS better move as far far away from as possible.
Hey Gilda, just because someone lets their cat out, or it happens to get out, doesn’t mean it deserves to be killed. You sound like one of those assholes who would kill an animal. Shut up and be a solution, not a problem!
One solution in protecting your cats is TO NOT LET THEM OUTSIDE. Of course, there are times when they may sneak out, but don’t intentionally let your furbabies roam free outdoors. It’s too dangerous!
Um… where did Gilda state that if a cat gets out, it deserves to be killed? Maybe I’m reading your comments wrong, or maybe I missed hers?
I don’t leave many comments, but I’ve read a lot of Gilda’s, and she’s all for the animals… NOT the abusers.
Thanks Mo. Been in cat rescue for nearly 20 years. I know exactly what happens to cats that are let outside.One cat on my block i witnessed almost getting hit by car TWICE. And chased by dogs. I found out where she got cat and i told them. Rescue group was going to take cat back. TOO LATE. ASSUMED DEAD BACUSE HE CAME TO MY WINDOW EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Hey idiot. Where did i say they deserved to be killed? MORON. I AM IN CAT RESCUE YOU POS.
I strongly agree that this hateful monster deserves to be in the electric chair ! I had started a petition on change.org a while ago about what we need to do in order to end cruelty worldwide. We need to start by putting monsters in the electric chair! They don’t deserve to live after taking a cat or dog’s life!
As a cat mom, I do wish people everywhere would keep cats and dogs safely inside. Both can be walked on a harness if they want to go outside. This way they can be safe.
Gilda, just shut the fuck up. You obviously just want to argue and don’t have any compassion. Go to hell.
Oh look! Jilly the jackass lets her cat or cats out. You vile pos. Morons like you would NEVER get a cat from group i volunteer for.
Know what happened to the two assholes that let cats out when contract CLEARLY says cats are not to be let out? Cats wwre taken awsy because of ME and people were put on dna list.DO NOT ADOPT. Now i think you should STFU.
Execute this scumbag punk chickenshit demon…very slowly…and let him rot in hell !
