Target: Steve Gunnels, District Attorney of Deschutes County, Oregon

Goal: Seek maximum punishment for an individual who reportedly set a fire that caused two cats to perish.

A home was engulfed in flames, purportedly started by one of the residents with deliberate intent. While one occupant and a dog escaped unharmed, two cats apparently lost their lives in the blaze. Investigators believe this fire was intentionally ignited in the kitchen, leading to the tragic and preventable deaths of these innocent animals.

Reports indicate that the alleged arsonist was swiftly taken into custody following the incident. It appears these defenseless creatures were subjected to disturbing cruelty as they were trapped with no means of escape. Setting a deadly fire in a home occupied by vulnerable pets underscores a profound disregard for life.

Ensuring the strongest penalties for any proven offenders is a critical step toward preventing future tragedies. If an individual is found responsible for intentionally killing animals in such a horrific manner, they should be held fully accountable by the justice system. A firm legal stance can help protect more animals from ever experiencing such terror again.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear District Attorney Gunnels,

Authorities arrested a woman on suspicion of deliberately setting a fire that took the lives of two cats. This alleged arson, ignited in a kitchen while the animals remained inside, left these defenseless creatures with no option for escape. Their fatalities add a grave layer to an already serious accusation of recklessly endangering life.

The manner in which these cats apparently died highlights a disturbing lack of regard for sentient beings. As you know, seeking justice is paramount in protecting both animal and human safety. Acts of arson alone represent a danger to the community, but the added alleged cruelty of killing helpless animals intensifies the seriousness of this case.

We respectfully urge your office to ensure that anyone found responsible faces vigorous prosecution and, if convicted, receives the maximum penalties permitted under the law. Such decisive action would send a clear message that disregard for the lives of innocent animals will not be tolerated.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

    I can’t imagine what these two little innocent kitties endured! Instead of a loving home they found themselves living with the devil incarnate!

    Steve Gunnels, District Attorney of Deschutes County, Oregon You must charge this demon with ARSON WITH INTENT TO KILL TWO COUNTS.
    These little angels did not deserve this end. Get this monster off the street!!

    I would be glad to hear that this perp died the same death with a quick follow up to the fires of hell!

    May you receive all your joy now little buddies…..

    • I kill the mother fucker. I’m trying to make murdering humans a legal act

      • Exactly. But these are NOT humans, they are just pieces of shit who need removing from our world by any means possible. And— I am sure that there would be very many takers. Termination is what’s needed for these animal torturing motherfucks as it is in their blood and they will never stop!!

      HE NEEDS TO SENTENCE THIS LESS THAN HUMAN BEING SICK PHYCOPATH TO EXACUTION LETS GET IT DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. No animal deserves to be a victim of DEHUMANIZED, DESENSITIZED and MENTALLY-DERANGED SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS!!
    NO animal-abuser should get away with such a horrific crime.
    LAWMAKERS, stop these crimes by establishing harsh punishments for animal abuse! It’s your duty as humans.
    Tormenting, neglecting and killing animals has a brutalizing effect on our society and mankind as a whole.
    This pathological monster must be severely punished. He must also be forbidden from coming near animals ever again.
    SET a PRECEDENT, and punish to the full extent of the law!
    MAX JAIL or DEATH PENALTY for this scumbag!

  6. These cruel bastards need to die the same way that these precious babies did. So they can feel the pain.
    Put them both on death row

  7. I cried over the dog that was drowned by his supposed pet parent at the airport because SHE didn’t bring the correct paperwork to bring the dog to Columbia. So instead of calling someone to come get the dog, she drowned him in the airport bathroom. She was arrested. I feel like crying again. WHEN will people STOP DOING THESE THINGS TO INNOCENT ANIMALS? It’s a good thing I’m a Christian and I can’t take revenge because if I didn’t try to live by that standard, a lot of people would be in trouble. But if I caught someone now I would take them to the police station.

    • Yeh, I know this. How the hell can a normal mind think, “Oh dear, I don’t have a boarding pass on the plane for my little dog, what shall I do?”
      “I know, I’ll just nip to the toilet and hold its head down the pan and drown it”!!!!!!!!!
      I REALLY WOULD like a short time with this idiot, ‘non-caring animal murdering cunt you bet!! Here is a self -centred diseased brained sod who is a danger to society and especially animals and children!
      If this fucker can do this to her pet dog of many years ( around ten I believe) then the bugger must be totally deranged and must be stopped from doing shit like this EVER again. And the ONLY way pieces of shit like this will be guaranteed to stop is if the fuckers are DEAD!!
      AND— would I terminate this bugger? Well, I do not even have to give an answer to this👍👍👍

    • Arrogant nasty bastard. If there are any Vigilante or Animal activists groups out there, please do your best to deal with this fucker in any way you see fit. Preferably doused with a can of gasoline then someone flick a match. THEN- see if this old cunt thinks it is funny!!!

  9. RITA VAN EECKENRODE says:

    FIND THAT MONSTER AND LET HIM DIE IN THE SAME WAY AS HE DID WHITH THOSE INNOCENT KITTENS. NO MERCY.

  10. These monsters and others like this do not deserve any lieneancy no mercy throw the book at all involved this was a cruel viscous act of hatred and must be met with the full force of the law period those animals suffered far too long the pain excruciating please get all involved off our streets and out of our neighborhoods protect our pets protect our children please! Thank you

  11. Stephanie Geyser says:

    The accused (Wendi Thornton) seems to be mentally unhinged. Who in their right mind sets fire their own kitchen to incur $ 40 000 damage???? I wonder if the authorities would act faster to prosecute her if a human had died in the fire, not “just 2 cats” (because – let’s face it – animals have NO rights)?

  12. This arsonist should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and never allowed near an animal ever again!!!!!!!! This is a very serious crime and should be treated as such. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH SOME PEOPLE????????!!!!!!!!!

  13. wow every day poor animals suffer in the hands of vile pos like this.
    The same should be done to her

  14. Manny Remo says:

    Another POS that needs to be put out of their misery 💥👈

  15. If they had been people, this would be called murder, and so should it be for these kittens whose lives were ended so violently.

    • Yes, these are LIVING FEELING animals just the same as humans and should have the same rights. No messing, can someone out there who feels the same as I terminate this animal torturing sod!!
      J.W.

  16. STRONG PUNISHMENT IS NOT ENOUGH!!!!! THIS IS MURDER….THIS IS MURDER!!! PUT THE HUMAN[S] DOWN!

  17. Eye for an eye nothing less! Set them on fire! Come on over I’ve been dying to have a bon fire in my backyard! It will be fun! We’ll rost hot dogs!

  18. The piece of shit is 65-year-old Wendi Thornton. Someone in OR set her on fire please

    • A 1600s ‘witch-hunt’ is what is needed here for this bastard although witches I doubt would never treat any animals this way!
      So we have here, a ‘stone-cold’ animal torturing fucker who has no compassion whatsoever.
      I mean, how the hell could you do this to your trusting companion animal of many years??
      This twats brain is wired seriously wrong and the only way it could be put right is if a bullet was introduced to it. Or—- it would give me immense satisfaction to do exactly the same to this bugger and see if she thought it amusing as I forced her head down the pan?
      Unfortunately I am thousands of miles away but if anyone feels the same, I would be behind you 150%! This cunt needs to learn that torturing animals is VERY BAD for your health!!!
      J.W.

  19. PUT THE SCUM DOWN RIGHT AWAY!
