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]

    I love all you kind ppl responding. At least, we truly have love in our hearts and minds at all times.

  2. It says in the write-up that this BASTARD has been charged but pleaded ‘not guilty’! Well looks like this is all fine then and the powers to be will just have to let him go-won’t they, as he is obviously telling the truth!!!!!!
    NOW, without ‘mincing’ my words what this arrogant fucker needs is a visit from a riled up mob, ( my idea yet again) dragged from the bastards house, dowsed with petroleum, set alight and see how long it is before the fucker starts screaming.
    You do not need to wait, just make sure that the piece of shit is burning nicely, and writhing around in agony, then clear off smartish before anyone realises what is happening.
    Better still; if there is a handy ‘dumpster’ near, bodily chuck the no doubt subdued bastard in, dowse him and let the fucker burn. These tossers deserve nothing less and would then as the saying goes be burning like a house on fire!!
    If the arsehole DID SURVIVE, the shitbag would then know just how it felt to be burned alive, and a warning to other bastards out there as to what will happen them if caught!!
    Until stuff like this starts to happen to these asswipes, animal torture and murder WILL continue.
    I and almost all on this site would I expect, be first in line to set the bastard burning without any remorse afterwards whatsoever! Just pieces of ‘gutter-crap‘ who DO NOT deserve to live!!
    J. W.
    P.S. I AM NOT going to apologise for my somewhat expletive language, as this is exactly what I feel towards this animal torturing, murdering bastard, and would set this prick on fire with no qualms whatsoever!!

  3. Execute the punk scumbag coward demon responsible for this…very slowly…and let them rot in hell !

  4. This person should be given a prison sentence. Also should not be allowed near animals or children.

  5. Like for like punishment. This disgusting and dispicable show of lowlife horror needs to be compensated with like for like punishment. They burned the innocent raccoon so they need to be burned likewise. Burn a good scar on the back of a hand of each person involved so they can forever remember how disgusting and dispicable they are to treat an innocent animal this way,

    • I so wish this would happen, wouldn’t that solve the problem? Literally do unto others… Literally. Every pain these innocent animals suffer should be inflicted on the abuser. I know FOR SURE it would 100% end abuse.

      • Of course it would because these animal torturers are ALL COWARDS and will only pick on something that will not fight back!!
        The only way these bastards ‘WILL’ learn the error of their ways is to be given the same treatment. This is FACT as it is the only way to stop these ‘sick minded’ tossers.
        It really is going to happen as in the witch hunts of the 1600s. Although many of or most of them were Innocent.
        The animal torturing bastards ARE NOT!!!

  6. The name of this pig? I believe you should always tell us who the pus bag is because I’m POSITIVE there are people out there who “take care” of these sick things….

    • Stephanie Geyser says:

      His name is Andrew Chieu. You can find his photo on the Internet. And please DON’T compare this piece of trash to a pig – you may be angry at this sub-human scumbag, but pigs don’t go around setting living beings on fire.

  7. I completely agree with you!This evil,soulless monster a**hole should be punished to the MAXIMUM!He should be put UNDER the jail!

  8. Maria Lavorato says:

    Agree completely with Jon White! The world does not need this kind of monster walking freely about. Doesn’t deserve to breathe!

    I am so grateful for the staff at the Cape Wildlife Center! I wish the world was full of only this kind of caring souls!

    As for the perpetrator, this horrific unthinkable pain should be returned. I agree with comments above!

    This little raccoon is one courageous little guy. God’s speed for a full and speedy recovery! I am sorry you crossed paths with the worst of humanity.

  9. Best solution is to set that piece of human shit on fire.

  10. Jennifer cotterell says:

    Totally agree an eye for an eye let this scum feel the same torture he did to this innocent animal and I bet others , if the bastards who do this torture and murder of animals were about to get same done to them they may think twice. So that is best deterrent not a slap on wrist . When will we wake up to law not doing anything to stop this madness . I hope all animal abusers murderers get the exact same done to them and then rot in hell in eternal agony

  11. 😡Oh I’m so happy that you guys think & feel the same way I do! I’ve been involved in rescue for 47 years here in Wisconsin & I feel like this EVERYDAY about these LOW LIFE SCUM FUCKING BASTERDS😡My idea for a perfect torture would be what the Vikings used to administer, THE FLYING EAGLE!Also & sorry to all the guys out here in advance. Strip him down,hang him up upside down on a cross, spread his legs & take a very long nail & pound it through his balls. Get some caustic acid & let it slowlyyyyy drip starting @ his feet & as it’s running up his legs till it stops where his balls are nailed down & watch the acid burn his dick away. (Sorry guys didn’t mean to be so graphic) Now that’s what I call Justice!

  12. set the bastard on fire

  13. BURN this CRUEL ABUSIVE IDIOT ON HIS HANDS, FEET, STOMACH, AND HIS BACK WITHOUT RENDERING ANY TYPE OF MEDICAL CARE!!!!!

  14. Tammy Rieser says:

    So agree with all the comments above – “eye for an eye”. You mistreat an animal in ANY WAY, and you MF deserve the same exact treatment.

  15. The worthless fucking person that is responsible, should be tied up and set on fire

  16. whoever did this deserves the same, find the SOB(s) and set them on fire`

  17. So if the Quincy man charged with the felony animal cruelty, did not set the racoon on fire, who did? This just doesn’t happen in the natural world. Please find the person responsible and make them face consequences that let others know that heinous acts of senseless violence is NOT tolerated in your county.

  18. Elease M. Bradford says:

    I’m so sorry for the way this poor, innocent animal was brutalized and suffered. I’m appalled this happened and I hope the barbaric, low-down piece of slime that committed this heinous act is severely punished. He needs to be banned from being around animals. I hope this fur baby get well soon and gets justice.

    Fully hoping this human cripple would accept to put on fire his kids too!
    Would he be feeling the pain he caused other living creatures for fun at last?

  20. Lorraine German says:

    The person, and any other persons, responsible for animal abuse, should be tortured, and put into prison with no eligibility for parole at any time. They should also be put in a section of the prison where there are a lot of animal lovers, and let the animal lovers in the prison deal with those animal abusers.
    The animals in this world need to have better protection, and the laws to protect these animals need to be harsher for the people that commit these horrible acts of abuse. It is time the animals are protected, and the people are made to face what they have done with the rest of their lives in prison.
