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]

If they discover who is responsible for this horrific act of extreme cruelty they should be locked up. Then throw away the key! I am so thankful the raccoon was saved and is now receiving such loving care. I can’t imagine how much it suffered.
I Totally agree; however due to all states past judicial decisions – I have lost all respect and faith that the law and judicial system will whats right.
IF and when more of this IDIOTS are arrested and made to pay (EXPENSIVE FINES and when they can’t be paid – jail time ) not a slap on the wrist – then maybe this will decrease happening…..
makes me so angry
🙁
Agree!
The ONLY thing that will stop these atrocities happening is if these animal murdering and torturing
bastards are terminated by fair means or foul.
Would not matter which just as long as the fuckers were DEAD!!!
J.W.
Lock him away. This poor animal didn’t deserve such a cruel act of torture. Justice is a must for this raccoon.
NO WORDS FOR THIS MONSTER!!!!! JUST LOCK THIS SICK EVIL PSYCHOPATH IN PRISON OR HE WILL NOT STOP!!!
THIS POOR INNOCENT HELPLESS RACOON DESERVES JUSTICE FOR ITS CRUEL AND UNIMAGINABLE TORTURE!!
THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES SEVERE ENOUGH FOR THIS MONSTER!! HE NEEDS TO BE KEPT AWAY FROM ALL ANIMALS!!!!
Yes,scumbag needs the stricter on animal abuse. What demented man or woman do to an innocent animal. Too bad he can’t get the same thing. Don’t need to be around other animals or child.
All the authorities need to do is put down the donuts and do a little investigation. How hard is that to do. A nice reward would make the canaries chirp and sing.
This is sickening. Any one that can hurt animals like this should be severely punished. I wish they would lock them up for life.
This monster needs to be set on fire himself! An eye for an eye! Animal cruelty is unacceptable and we need to stand united to make sure these perpetrators get what they deserve although no amount of prison time is good enough for this individual or others like him, he needs to suffer all the way to hell and I know what I’d like to do to him! Poor raccoon suffered unimaginable pain, I’m grateful it was saved and is now being nursed back to health by some lovely human beings.
Set the son of b**ch on fire and watch it burn. Put it out after 5 mins or so. Let it get good and charred. Then put it in prison and make it live the rest of it’s life in agony.
Throwing away the key is not the answer. They need to set the individual or individuals on fire. And end their life)lives). Instead of spending our tax dollars so they can survive in jail.
Put out a reward, someone knows who did this n for cash they will gladly tell! if justice doesnt get served n the person doesnt get punished they wont stop! this is why crimes are committed, to many people get away with the crime? put back the old punishment of an eye for an eye! i love raccoons, they dont hurt people! i have them around my house all the time, they dont bother…praying for this ones full recovery❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am so grateful that the raccoon survived and is being lovingly taken care of . We need to make stronger laws to protect these innocent animals who can not speak for themselves. Any type of animal cruelty is not acceptable in a civilized society
No reason for this except for pure evil and cruelty. POS!
Scum of the earth people, with tiny d*cks…..hope the raccoon is doing OK.
Sentence him to the highest degree of punishment the law allows, 5 years in prison.
Damn straight … we need tougher laws! This man needs to cope with loss of freedom, money, and never be around animals again for the rest of his life! To deliberately set out to do such harm, damage, and hurt to an innocent animal is abuse beyond abuse! This man is mentally challenged or totally evil. Would he want his dog or child to be in excruciating pain as he caused this raccoon? I wish we could do the same to him as he did to the raccoon but we are a civilized society. He however has no place in society until someone fixes his mind. This case proves animals are better than humans. When this horrid man did this crime he degraded all humans yet now humans are helping this raccoon heal. I’m grateful.
The only thing that will fix his mind is separating it from his body with something like a 44 magnum to the back of the bastards head.
Enough is enough of this persistent animal torture!!!
J.W.
These mother fuckers need to be killed and if you provide their names, I will arrange for it. Waste of precious air! If you have ever been burner and know how hard it is to heal and how long it takes, you would understand.
Right on — this is what has to happen!!!!
J.W.
Anyone that can hurt an innocent animal should not be around people or animals! Put this sick MF away for good!
Hope Rocky makes a quick recovery!?!
The individual that did this is not safe to society..lock him up forever before he does this again … possibly next time to someone’s pet or child… serial killer in the future written all over this psycho
When someone is NOT SAFE in society, the best method is to despatch them then they would sure cause no more trouble. If a law was passed that anyone convicted of animal torture would be terminated, then I’ll bet animal torture would easily half within a week!
Why, because all of these sick minded fuckers are devout COWARDS and would never risk their own lives.
Can’t ever see this happening so yet again it is up to normal people to stop this murder of innocent creatures.
I am STILL waiting to read that one or more of these bastards have been found mutilated and ‘dead’ In a ditch somewhere!
Now that would REALY make my day!!!l
J.W.
Catch the monster who did this and set him on fire!!! The same torture he did to this innocent animal- animals deserve to live in peace!!!
I feed the raccoons in our rural farm area and they do not deserve to be burned.
