Sign Petition: "Justice for Rabbit Slammed Against the Ground and Killed at Party"

Lady Freethinker.org

Petition Target: Hampden County District Attorney

At a pre-Thanksgiving party in Westfield, Massachusetts, a man allegedly grabbed a rabbit named "Pumpernickle" by the ears and slammed the animal against the ground.
Moments later, another man allegedly threw the rabbit into a nearby parking lot.
The rabbit, who was the animal companion of the host of the party, was found dead.

"We just committed a murder," one of the men reportedly said while he laughed.

Both men have been arrested and are being charged with cruelty to an animal and malicious killing of a domestic animal.
Police stated that some of the incident was caught on video.

[snip]

The terror and pain that this rabbit must have felt as it was picked up and thrown against the ground is heartbreaking.

Please sign our petition urging the Hampden County District Attorney to prosecute these men to the fullest extent of the law, mandate intensive psychological intervention, and institute a lifelong ban on having animals.

As a subscriber to Lady Freethinker, I've already signed it.
I used to sign all of her petitions and share them on my Facebook page, but lately, Facebook hasn't been 'allowing' it and I don't know why. If anyone knows of a reason or a remedy for this, please let me know.

They need to be institutionalized and kept away from being around people or animals unless closely supervised.
