Target: Damien M. Diggs, US Attorney for the Eastern District of Texas
A deeply disturbing case of animal cruelty has emerged from Beaumont, Texas, where 30-year-old Donaldvan Williams was sentenced to over three years in prison for kicking a sick cat 20 feet through the air as if kicking a football. The incident occurred when Williams, along with a friend, Decorius Mire, came across the suffering feline in an apartment complex parking lot. The cat had been convulsing and foaming at the mouth, presumably from poisoning, when Mire dared Williams to kick it, and he did so with horrifying force. The cruel act was caught on video and shared on social media.
Mire, who filmed the attack, was sentenced last year to 18 months in prison. However, the torment of the cat did not end there. A third individual, who remains unidentified, reportedly poured accelerant on the already injured cat and set it on fire. Mire filmed this horrific scene as the cat, engulfed in flames, tried to escape.
Despite the guilty pleas from Williams and Mire, the courts have not yet brought charges related to the reported setting of the cat on fire. It remains unclear whether the cat survived the unimaginable torment. This case is a glaring reminder of the need for strict consequences for acts of animal cruelty and the importance of holding all involved accountable. Ensure everyone involved is prosecuted.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear US Attorney Damien M. Diggs,
I am writing to express my concern and outrage over the horrifying case of animal cruelty that occurred in Beaumont, Texas, where a cat was subjected to extreme torture by Donaldvan Williams and Decorius Mire. While Williams has been sentenced to over three years in prison and Mire received 18 months for his role in the incident, I urge you to ensure that all individuals involved in this cruel act are held fully accountable.
The video, which showed Williams kicking a sick cat 20 feet through the air, followed by an unidentified individual reportedly setting the cat on fire, is deeply disturbing. While the courts have addressed the actions of Williams and Mire, the person seemingly responsible for setting the cat on fire remains uncharged. This reported act of cruelty, also filmed and shared on social media, is just as reprehensible and must be met with swift legal consequences.
As US Attorney, I urge you to pursue further investigation and legal action against all individuals responsible for this horrific crime. Animal cruelty is a serious offense, and it is essential that justice is served not only for the initial acts but for the entire series of abuses inflicted on this poor cat.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
