Target: Kenneth Baldwin, District Attorney for Washington County, Tennessee

 Goal: Punish the man who allegedly attacked and killed a cat for playing with a Christmas tree.

A cat was allegedly attacked and killed in a shocking case of animal cruelty. Video evidence reportedly showed the suspect abusing the animal as punishment for playing with the Christmas tree. Demand justice for this innocent victim.

“It is with a very heavy heart and tears in my eyes that I have to say this angel from Heaven crossed the Rainbow Bridge.” These words, written on the Washington County, TN Animal Shelter’s Facebook page, announced the unfortunate death of a cat that had reportedly been abused by his owner. Phoenix was playing with a Christmas tree when, as punishment, 24-year-old Aaron Duke Rover reportedly attacked and struck him to the point of near death. He was brought to the animal shelter, where Rover allegedly lied about the circumstances of his injury. Video evidence, given to authorities by Rover’s fiancé, apparently documented the attack.

Rover has been charged with aggravated animal cruelty. Sign below and demand that he receive the maximum penalty possible, if convicted.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear District Attorney Baldwin,

A cat was reportedly struck repeatedly as punishment for playing with a Christmas tree. The suspect, identified as Aaron Duke Rover, apparently brought Phoenix to an animal shelter under the guise that he found him injured outside. Video evidence, provided by Rover’s fiancé, seemingly showed Rover maliciously abusing and attacking the cat. Phoenix reportedly suffered serious injuries and later died while in the care of veterinarians.

Rover has been charged with aggravated animal cruelty, which is now a federal crime punishable by jail time. The country has put its foot down regarding letting abusers go unpunished and Washington County must follow suit. I demand that you prosecute this case and seek the maximum penalty possible for the person found guilty.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

  2. Execute thisothafuccer…for fun…stone him..let the society stone him so he suffer.

  3. If his ‘fiance’ doesn’t leave now then sooner or later she will be a victim too. This sick coward kills a cat because it acted like a cat? Despicable and deranged and also dangerous POS – prosecute and properly punish him or go back later and investigate his fiance’s death, your call Tennessee.

  4. Jennifer Kleinman says:

    So happy they stated his name. What a piece of excrement!!! What a beautiful cat and I’m so happy the fiancé turned in the video when they normally cover for these sick abusers.

  5. Watch out fiance–YOU ARE NEXT-THIS DEMON WILL SHOW HIS ANGER TO ANYONE WHEN PROVOKED BY KILLING THEM–WALK OUT NOW—NO SECOND CHANCES–PERHAPS THE POOR SOUL SACRIFICE TO WARN YOU.

  6. Run woman -run for your life-life in prison for this evil man.

  7. You idiot moron. Why did you even have a cat if you’re too stupid to know THEY PLAY WITH TREES?!?! Who the hell doesn’t know this?! You are too dumb and soulless and clueless to be walking among ANY living creature. For God’s sake lock this idiot heartless asshole moron up for a very long time, PLEASE!

    Dear District Attorney Baldwin,

    Animal cruelty is now officially banned across the United States, as President Trump has signed the federal document. The recognition of the link between cruelty to animals and crimes against humans played a major role in this ban. Thank those responsible for making the country safer for animals.

    SO THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT PUNISHING HIM!

    • I just wish they would publish his address. The do-nothing bleeding-heart court system does nothing to these people. There are people who will seek Justice outside the courts, and I support them.

  9. He could have just made an Instagram or Facebook or youtube video and made some money off of it. Now his life is ruined! What a loser! Also evil!

  10. MAY KARMA CATCH UP with this degraded degenerate heartless psychopath. The just punishment for this action will come back to him soon for the vicious cruelty to this poor little cat. The law needs to punish such poisonous felons who are just a waste of space on the planet.

  11. This monster is unfit to live in society! He is capable of more crimes!

  12. Lynn Swanson says:

    People who abuse animals normally hurt children too. Punishment should bae along time in jail as well as huge fines so it hurts them. They should be fixed so they don’t have children and not allowed to be near children ever.

  13. RIP POOR PHOENIX and we the public demand, yes demand justice for your murder by this evil and vile monster. WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH ADR EXCEPT TO SAY THAT HE IS A MONSTER WHO MUST BE CHARGED WITH A FELONY AND BE SEVERELY PUNISHED FOR HIS ABUSE, TORTURE AND MURDER OF PHOENIX. I HOPE HIS GIRL FRIEND RUNS FROM THIS SICKO OR SHE WILL BE NEXT. WE ARE WATCHING TO MAKE SURE ADR PAYS FOR HIS HORRIFIC AND VILE ACTIONS.

  14. Please prosecute this psychopath to the fullest extent, and please enter his name in an animal abuse registry so that he can never own can get animal again. And his fiancee should leave him immediately. He is vio6and unstable and will most likely hurt her eventually if he isn’t already.

  15. Please kill this Aron rover piece of shit by putting his heading vice and tightening it until his head explodes. Amen, gracias

  16. Scum sucking pos! Why? Why would you do that? You probably n3vet even loved that poor sweet kitty. Shame on you. Karma comes for scrum like you

  17. Kathy Khoshfahm says:
