Target: Maricopa County, Arizona Attorney Rachel Mitchell
Goal: Ensure stringent legal consequences for individual charged with heinous act of animal abuse.
A chilling discovery was made in a Scottsdale alleyway: a deceased puppy, reportedly with its mouth cruelly taped shut. Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell has indicted Lester Paul Richmond on suspicion of class 5 felony animal abuse, the most severe punishment under Arizona law for such acts. This revelation has sent shockwaves through the community, sparking outrage and a deep sense of injustice.
The Scottsdale Police, after examining evidence and surveillance footage, have named Richmond as the prime suspect. Yet, he remains at large, evading the consequences of his alleged cruel act. The details of this case, especially the seemingly intentional silencing and harm inflicted upon an innocent animal, are not only deeply disturbing but also seem to reflect a blatant disregard for life and welfare. The community’s moral fabric is at stake, necessitating immediate and decisive action.
Those responsible for such alleged barbaric acts must face full legal accountability. Help ensure that Lester Paul Richmond, if found guilty, receives the maximum legal penalty for his alleged crime.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Attorney Rachel Mitchell,
The recent discovery in Scottsdale of a deceased puppy, reportedly with its mouth taped shut, has horrified and saddened our community. The indictment of Lester Paul Richmond on suspicion of class 5 felony animal abuse highlights the severity of this alleged crime. Such acts of cruelty cannot go unpunished, and it falls upon your office to ensure that justice is served.
This case is not merely about one animal but speaks to broader issues of safety, empathy, and legal integrity within our society. If Richmond is found culpable, it is crucial that he faces the sternest punishment permissible under the law. This will send a clear message that our community does not tolerate such cruelty and stands firm in the protection of all life.
We urge you to pursue this case with the utmost diligence and commitment. It is essential that those found guilty of such heinous acts are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Our collective conscience demands nothing less.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

IS THIS OUR WORLD IN 2024?? ONLY MONSTERS INSTEAD OF HUMANS???? SAD SAD WORLD.
Agree 100%!
Maybe a little late now but as I said earlier, if you know anyone who is somewhat ‘stupidly’ giving a puppy as a Christmas present, please try to convince them it is not a good idea! Christmas is NOT a good time for animals!
A puppy is NOT a toy and will no doubt, after a couple of weeks when the novelty has worn off by the child, just be discarded like a used toy!
A puppy is quite hard work and many ‘stupid’ parents do not understand their needs and do not have the time to devote to them! Which means, they will be abused, kicked, locked in crates, maybe without food or water because they have been forgotten about. And because the stupid parents cannot be BOTHERED TO ATTEND TO THEM!!
No different than having a new baby which cannot be locked in a ‘crate’ or get a slapping when it has messed or made a puddle. Not much different to a little human really which many people are too ‘thick’ to understand! A puppy is just a ‘baby’ really and needs to be treated as such.
I could go on here but again to say; if you DO know anywhere that a puppy is given as a Christmas present, PLEASE, PLEASE try to keep an ‘open eye’ as to the puppy’s condition and wellbeing. If anything untoward is noticed, do contact the relevant services who can check this out!
Unfortunately, many puppies or kittens will suffer this Christmas so is up to us ‘ animal people’ to do our best to stop it.
On a lighter note, to all of my adopted Brothers and Sisters on this site, do have a Happy Christmas and a Pleasant New Year.

Just to mention, please keep an eye out in the New Year for any wandering or lost puppies that have, AND WILL HAVE BEEN DISCARDED as surplus to requirements.
J,W.
I agree!! Ppl need to be more observant of their surroundings this Christmas there could be a furbaby in need of help😢 We need to help innocent animals that are in distressed also in need of MEDICAL HELP!
You too Jon, please have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Bro, and a huge thank you for all you do for the animal babies. You are a true gift of the spirit that keeps on giving to us all, and especially to the fur babies, ♥️🌲.
K D W H B.
Thank you for that and please accept my return greetings for the festive season and the New Year.
J.W.
You have a great Christmas too, Jon, and keep fighting the good fight!! Can’t see much change happening for animals in my lifetime, but we can only hope the time will come when all animal abusers will get what they REALLY deserve. It will, hopefully, involve the same torture they have inflicted on their victims and finishing with a hefty dose of the wooden mallet you often mention.
Thank ‘you’ for the Christmas greeting Sister Cecily and the same back to you.
As I said earlier, Christmas is NOT a good time For puppies and kittens.
The idiot parents buy them at extortionate prices from dodgy and unscrupulous so-called breeders just as though they are inanimate objects!
It is not the child’s fault but stupid parents who do not have a clue how to look after them, and no doubt think they can be just shoved away in a cupboard or suchlike when the child has got fed up with them. Or got rid of because the idiot parents do not have tine for them. Normally early in the New Year! Stupid, stupid people who will NEVER learn.
All we can do right now is to keep on petitioning and hope that very soon the ‘useless’ prosecutors and even more ‘useless Judges’ will be petitioned enough to make the fools realise that ANIMALS HAVE FEELINGS AND DO MATTER!
Unlike the turds who torture and murder them!
As you mentioned my trusty ‘ coke hammer’, all I will say is that it has two nice ‘notches’ carved on the handle! And I am sure that everyone who watches cowboy films will know what that means!!
Can’t say that I am proud because of this but something that everyone on this site would agree needs doing!!
Let’s just say – two less animal torturers and murders who will never harm another animal ever again😉
P.S. just realised that I have managed to write this without using ANY naughty words.
Must be the Christmas ‘spirit’ but will no doubt be back to normal against these animal murdering towrags in the New Year!
Try and have a ‘good one’
Best regards to you,
Jonny W.
Lester Paul Richmond Is a SCUMBAG POS that needs severe punishment like 30 years in prison. Let this SCUMBAG POS go to prison and get sodomized daily!
This sub-scumbag must be severely punished and never allowed anywhere near another animal. Jail the bastard with fellow abusers and hope he is killed. He and other abusers are taking up fresh air.
That “VERY DANGEROUS” and “EVIL DEMON” MUST BE SEVERELY PUNISHED,,,,THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY “JUSTICE” THAT FITS THE CRIME…. KARMA IS JUSTICE!!! ASAP!!
A esta BASURA IHUMANA habria que hacerle exactamente lo mismo que el le hizo a este pobre cachorrito!!!!
Demons are all over and the animals are suffering to the point of death because of such evil humans. Too many treat life as a joke and have no remorse to extinguish it. I say the same as another poster states, “this is 2023 going into 2024?”. Humans are regressing as a rapid rate, period. RIP sweet Angel. Your life so mattered.
Do the same to Lester Paul Richmond but not only put the tape over his mouth but over his nose too! Then tape his hands! Oh what the hell,tape his whole body!!! We have to change the law!Is anyone listening? May this little pup rest in peace.
People are so sick. Praying prosecutors land judges start to seriously punish these cruel and sick people.
The bastard that did this must be found and charged severely. Hopefully he is killed while he’s in jail/prison
The monster who did this deserves eye for an eye justice. This man is so diabolically evil, he should be TORTURED for a slow, agonizing death!
Arrest and tape-up the fat cakehole of Lester Paul Richmond, and let him starve to death. It will do something good for his obese body – and rid the planet of a pathetic oxygen-waster.
Kill this and all sick bastards such as animal killers. Death penalty for this S.O.B,coward!
Justice for the poor puppy!, +RIP
PROSECUTE THIS SCUMBAG TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW AND HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF HIM.
GREAT IDEA. TAPE THIS SCUMBAG’S MOUTH SHUT AND POUR SULPHURIC ACID DOWN HIS THROAT.
