Target: Jackson County, Oregon District Attorney Patrick Green
Goal: Ensure appropriate legal action is taken against anyone responsible for tragic fire that resulted in both human and animal fatalities.
The heartbreaking tragedy that unfolded at Happy Cats Sanctuary in Medford, OR is nothing short of devastating. A fire engulfed the facility one morning, leading to the deaths of one person and an estimated 50 to 100 cats. This heartbreaking loss of both human and animal lives has shocked the community and raised serious questions about safety protocols and potential negligence that may have contributed to this catastrophic event. As the sanctuary acted as a haven for these vulnerable animals, the failure to protect them must be scrutinized.
The sheer number of lives tragically lost in this incident is staggering. Eyewitnesses have reported smoke and flames consuming the premises, with emergency services arriving to find the situation dire. Rescue teams worked to secure the area and assist the surviving cats, but the enormity of the loss weighs heavily on the hearts of those who advocate for animal welfare. The responsibility for these lost lives cannot be overlooked, and the circumstances surrounding the fire must be thoroughly examined to ensure that those who may have contributed to such negligence are held accountable.
This tragic event highlights an urgent need to address and enforce safety and operational regulations in animal sanctuaries. Without accountability, there is a risk of similar tragedies occurring in the future, resulting in unnecessary loss of life. It is imperative that a thorough investigation takes place, and that appropriate legal actions are pursued if anyone is found to have been criminally negligent in relation to this horrific incident. Justice must be served for the animals and the individuals who cared for them.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Green,
The recent fire at Happy Cats Sanctuary has left a profound impact on both the local community and the animal welfare movement as a whole. The loss of one human life and the estimated 50 to 100 cats killed in the blaze is a tragedy that demands urgent attention and accountability. Reports suggest that safety measures may have been neglected, and it is crucial that this matter is investigated thoroughly to ascertain whether negligence played a role in allowing such a devastating event to occur.
The numbers associated with this tragedy are not just statistics; they represent lives—those who were in the sanctuary’s care and those who dedicated their time to protect and nurture them. The response from the community has been commendable as they rally to support the surviving animals and staff. However, the pain of this loss will linger if accountability is not established. Failing to hold the responsible parties accountable risks repeating such a tragic incident in the future, potentially claiming more innocent lives.
We respectfully urge your office to pursue a rigorous investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fire at Happy Cats Sanctuary and to take appropriate legal actions against any individuals or entities found to be responsible for the fire. The community and animal advocates are counting on you to seek accountability in this critical matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

This incident was tragic and horrific – regardless of what species the victims happened to be. They were all innocent victims who were kept there for reasons of sanctuary and safety from harm and to receive necessary care. But yet, tragically, the whole place had become ingulfed in flames and all of those helpless little souls were trapped and burned/roasted to death in the flames. This must’ve been a slow and most painful, torturous and terrifying death imaginable! And while this was happening it was an absolute certainty that they felt and suffered in exactly the SAME way as would children or people. It is the same for anyone or any living, feeling beings caught in this situation. And all lives are precious. This is why it is vital to carefully investigate into this tragedy, and hold an enquiry in order to get to the bottom of this.
This tragedy did not happen in Medford, OR but in Long Island, NY. Many of the rescue community in New York are heartbroken about this tragedy. The owner of the sanctuary tragically lost his life trying to save as many cats as possible. This incident is under investigation for suspected arson but not in Oregon. This needs to be corrected so that the petition goes to the correct DA’s office.
No! I try to answer the multiple question….and it will not all me to submit!
