Raccoon Reportedly Set on Fire on New Year’s Eve Deserves Justice

Target: Michael W. Morrissey, District Attorney of Norfolk County, Massachusetts

Goal: Secure rigorous legal consequences for the individual allegedly responsible for a raccoon’s cruel mistreatment.

A shocking case of animal cruelty allegedly occurred in Quincy. Reportedly, a raccoon was intentionally set ablaze on New Year’s Eve, causing devastating injuries. It is alleged that this barbaric act left the animal with severe burns across its stomach, back, and paws, with most of its fur either missing or charred. The raccoon’s plight has stirred profound emotions and a universal outcry for justice.

The raccoon, demonstrating remarkable resilience, has undergone two surgical procedures and intense care at the Cape Wildlife Center’s Weymouth hospital. Its injuries, particularly to its highly sensitive hands, reportedly meant it endured excruciating pain. Despite this apparent agony, the raccoon’s indomitable spirit shines through. Staff at the Cape Wildlife Center are diligently aiding its recovery, which includes enrichment activities and a specialized diet.

This appalling incident highlights the necessity for stern legal measures to safeguard animals. The alleged perpetrator, a Quincy man, has been charged with felony animal cruelty but pleaded not guilty. The prosecution of this case, involving the New England Wildlife Center, Quincy Police Department, and the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office, sends a vital message against animal cruelty. Demand robust legal action to ensure justice for the voiceless victim of this heinous act.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Attorney Michael W. Morrissey,

A deeply disturbing incident of animal cruelty has unfolded in Quincy, where a raccoon was reportedly set on fire in a shocking act of brutality. The severity of this alleged crime against a defenseless animal demands your immediate attention and action. The raccoon appears to have suffered grievously, enduring extensive burns and intense pain, a plight that has evoked widespread public outrage and empathy.

The raccoon’s resilience in the face of such cruelty is commendable. However, it highlights a broader issue – the need for stringent legal repercussions for acts of animal cruelty. This case, with the alleged perpetrator currently pleading not guilty to felony animal cruelty charges, stands as a critical test of our legal system’s commitment to protecting the vulnerable. It is imperative that this case be pursued with the utmost seriousness to ensure that such acts are not tolerated.

We, the undersigned, urge you to take decisive action in this case. We call for rigorous prosecution and appropriate legal consequences for the individual allegedly responsible for this atrocious act. It is crucial that we send a clear message: cruelty towards animals is inexcusable and will be met with the full force of the law. We look to your office to uphold justice for this voiceless victim and to demonstrate our society’s commitment to compassion and justice.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

  1. Setting a living creature on fire is pure evil and are the actions of psychopaths. The individual(s) must be charged and sentenced to the fullest extent of the law. This is revolting to the extreme – completely unconscionable!

  2. Cheri Cywinski says:

    Amen to that sentiment 100 times over.

  3. This is sick!
    This nasty pos needs to receive a very long jail time…what did he accomplish by doing this? Only to get his rocks off? Put this bastard behind bars for life…this is the only way this crap is going to stop!

  4. Maximum punishment please!! Also, a lifetime ban is needed: from owning, caring for, possessing, and from residing in any house where ANY animal is present.
    He needs to forfeit any animals currently in his possession, and also pay back costs for all veterinary care if applicable. Let’s be serious about saving animals’ lives. Thank you.

  5. WHAT A MONSTER OR ONSTERS ARE THIS??? DO THE SAME THING WITH THEM. IS THIS THE NEW YEAR 2024 WHERE WE ARE LIVING IN? SAD, SAD……

  6. AN EYE FOR AN EYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. KARMA 🔥👿 MONSTER!!

  8. Set on fire this mother fucker!!!!

  9. The court does nothing! Society must take care of this sadistic POS! I’m waiting for the news article telling how real justice was served in this animal abuse case.

    • Andrew Chieu, you have karma coming!

    • Andrew Chieu

    • Exactly.
      This has GOT to come down to us normal people to stop these animal murdering bastards once and for all.
      The law WILL NOT do it so we must take a stand!
      Easy to say, somewhat more difficult to carry out but can be achieved with patience and forward planning.
      Once the tossers are located that is half the battle. If there is more than one animal vigilante so much the better and the bastard would not know what hit him. I’ll say no more about this except it ‘CAN BE DONE’!!!!!👍

    Someday this Monster will burn in Hell but for now he needs to spend the rest of his life in jail!

  11. Please put this scumbag behind bars!

  12. Put this scumbag behind bars!!!!

  13. Alexander Croci says:

    Please publish the name and address of the asshole who did this!

  14. Scumbag has no reason to be free. Please put him away

  15. Each person present at this “celebration ” should also be jailed and or fined heavily. This sick bastard who actually set a living animal on fire does not deserve freedom to do his/her next evil deed. Who is being held responsible? Why protect their name? Major thank you to Cape Wildlife Center’s Weymouth hospital. Hopefully the raccoon can be an ambassador animal if no longer able to hunt in the wild.

  16. I don’t know why you don’t post this trash’s name. Andrew chieu – since our animal welfare laws are also trash May karma come for him x10

  17. Vanessa Strougo says:

    That piece of living shit should be doused with lighter fluid and be set on fire…the Justice system is a joke

  18. Uncommon Sensesc says:

    THE EVIL PIECE OF SHIT THAT DID THIS IS ANDREW CHIEU. HE BUILT A FIRE IN A METAL CAN THEN SAT THE CAGED RACOON ON TOP OF IT! THIS IS TOO HORRIBLE TO IMAGINE. A neighbor heard arguing and videoed this POS! Here’s a good link that shows this SOB’s face: https://www.wcvb.com/article/quincy-raccooon-cruelty-fire-arrest/46275374 He lives at 63 Royal Street in Quincy, MA – if you see him, be sure to greet him accordingly!

    • Well, as I said in my former submission, his name is out, and his address!
      All we need now is a group who have the guts and anger to drag the fucker out of his house, ( night time much better) dowse him and set the fucker alight so he knows just what it feels like.
      This piece of shit needs burning to death no question.
      Just a waste of space arsehole who needs painfully terminating!!!
      J.W.

  19. What the actual fuck is wrong with people!? These people are allowed to walk away with no punishment and this is supposed to be acceptable?? Yet a dog bites someone for abusing it and you euthanize it!

    Find this devil and do the same to him/her. Even that is not complete justice for this poor raccoon.
