Don’t Release Man Accused of Stomping Puppy to Death from Jail
By Michelle DayTarget: Racine County District Attorney’s Office,
Goal: Do not release man convicted of stomping puppy to death from jail
Mr. Fred Gossett, and his son Curtis Gossett, of Illinois and Wisconsin, respectively, were both recently sentenced to jail time after being convicted of burglary and felony mistreatment of animals. Fred Gossett and his son reportedly broke into a neighbors home and killed a beagle puppy by stomping on its head. Fred Gossett recently had his original $7,500 bond reduced by $4,500 and now the 59-year-old is asking to be released from jail, stating that health issues prevent him from serving his time.
The owner of the 6-month-old beagle puppy reportedly owed Curtis Gossett $13. While the woman and her children were away from their home, Fred Gossett and his son reportedly broke into their home and stomped on their beagle puppy’s head. A neighbor found the puppy still alive, but in horrible shape after the event. The puppy ultimately did not survive. Fred Gossett and his son were both recently charged with burglary for breaking into the home, and with felony mistreatment of animals. Both men face up to seven and a half years in prison and up to $25,000 in fines for burglary, plus an additional year and half in prison and $10,000 in fines for animal mistreatment. Mr.Fred Gossett, however, is asking to be released from jail, stating that he suffers from back problems that will not be adequately addressed in jail. Both Fred and Curtis Gossett’s preliminary hearings are scheduled for August 15th.
By signing this petition, you are demanding that Fred Gossett not be released from jail, and that he receives the maximum jail sentence for needlessly breaking into his neighbor’s home and killing her puppy. Gossett is trying to use his back problems as an excuse to get out of jail. Obviously his back did not bother him so much that it prevented him from breaking into a home and stomping on an innocent animal. Regardless of whatever medical issues he may suffer from, Mr. Gossett still deserves to be punished for his heartless crimes.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Racine County District Attorney,
Please do not release Mr. Fred Gossett from jail prior to his hearing, despite his claim of back problems. Mr. Gossett has been charged with burglary and felony mistreatment of animals after allegedly breaking into a neighbor’s home and stomping on her 6-month-old beagle puppy, ultimately killing the dog.
Gossett is trying to use his back problems as an excuse to get out of jail. Obviously his back did not bother him enough to prevent him from breaking into a neighbor’s home and stomping on an innocent animal. It’s unthinkable that anyone could be cruel enough to commit such a crime over something as inconsequential as $13. Regardless of whatever medical issues he may suffer from, Mr. Gossett does not deserve to get away with his heartless crimes. Please consider prosecuting him to the fullest extent of the law.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

The puppy who’s life he wiped out without any hesitation would be happy with a bit back problems, but this innocent little soul didn’t have any choice. This scum deserves much worse than a few back problems – he’s not capable of compassion just like his son and shouldn’t be able to live in society nor cost the taxplayers money!
I agree! I hope the other jailers beat the crap out of him.
Take it further: I hope they gut the bastard – and get rewarded for doing so!
Who ever heard of being released from jail without serving the full sentence? This criminal should suffer for a long time and then think about his heinous actions.
Had this been my puppy, he would no longer be a problem for the state! He would be gone.
Comment to DS: I feel the same. But would make sure he suffered severe pain – before dumping his remains!
Keep him in prison and with a bit of luck he’ll have the crap beaten out of him by the other inmates .Perhaps they’ll break his back for him and that’ll be the end of him abusing animals.Scum of the earth.
I wish I lived close enough to go and give this piece of trash a ‘good talking-to’ when he DOES get out. Is there somebody who can give him a good talking to and by that I mean one he won’t forget. I’ll leave it at that.
this guy does not deserve to live. he is a danger to society and everything around him. his act was MURDER, and that qualifies him to get a life-long sentence.
string him up
The puppy will never recover from his health problems after Gossett was able to stomp him to death despite his “back problems.” This disgusting subhuman doesn’t deserve any kind of sympathy or consideration. May he live in excruciating pain for the rest of his life.
I HAVE ARTHRITIS IN MY SPINE. I LOVE MY CATS AND IF I COULD WALK WITHOUT PAIN, I WOULD ALSO HAVE A DOG. I HAD A DOBERMAN YEARS AGO BEFORE I BECAME CRIPPLED. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM TRY TO STOMP ON HER.
So he has back problems! A lot of people have back problems and they don’t stomp puppies to death or ask for special treatment. This man deserves much more punishment than he will ever get. I hope the local community picket the prosecutors office if this substandard human gets out.
this was cruel and uncalled for. He. Should get the harshest punishment available
AS I AM CRIPPLED I GAVE MY DOG TO MY SON WHO SPOILS HER AND ADORES HER. HEY, YOU 2 BARBARIANS, TRY STOMPING JESSIE. SHE IS AN ATTACK TRAINED BELGIAN SHEPHERD.I WANT TO SEE WHAT HEROES YOU MAGGOTS ARE.
I hope that everyone in Park City Illinois knows the name of FRED GOSSETT and that he is publicly ostracised from the community. He deserves the longest term possible and the highest fine possible that the justice system can give him, not only for his part in this crime, but also for training his son and leading him down the path of crime and inhumanity.
As for his back pain, he deserves it for the rest of his life, I hope he remembers that poor defenceless puppy for the rest of his life….
Just wonder what he is cable of doing for more than $13.00 dollars?
Glad he wasn’t my neighbor – I would have stomped him down to the ground – he wouldn’t of had to worry about going to jail or about his back! Leave this POS in jail (after all he ROBBED SOMEONE AS WELL AS KILLED THEIR DOG) and throw away the freakin key!
He’s a murderer. If our ridiculous justice system doesn’t keep him in jail for a long time, my hope is that someone will flat out kill him. That would be justice. Fuck the laws.
Bastard.
Oh how I despise evil scum like this puppy killer. No question
that animal abuse punishment is way too light. Too bad these
bastards can’t be punished with exactly the same thing they did
to innocent animals. Another reason to prefer all animals to a whole
lot of so called humans.
YOU ECHO MY FEELINGS A MILLION %.. DISGUSTING EVIL PERSON ¨!
This man should get the full amount of time that is given him.And I hope that while he is in prison that he will pick up a Bible and read it and repent.to God for what he did.
Maximum sentence for both of them and hope someone stomps THEM to death while they’re whining about their backs.
cant stand cruelty,he should receive a long prison sentence,feel so sorry for the poor puppy,how evil can someone be,hope he has an awful time in prison and suffers worse than this poor puppy did..signed petition with great pleasure
This guy’s going to be jailed for worse and worse as he moves “forward.” He’s a serial killer waiting to pop.
Hopefully he’ll get help, or get killed.
Reply to Gdub: I vote for option #2, ie. extermination!
Reading a bible in jail would do NOTHING for this POS. Simple solution: Horse-whip his ass through the streets, then introduce him to Madame Guillotine. Problem solved…PERMANENTLY !
A .45 ACP WOULD BE LESS MESSY.
Just introduce the bastards to the Guillotine. Problem solved and they will never again harm an animal…or anything else!
Amen and Amen Dr. Sol; although I tend to think the Guillotine would be a tad too humane for this trash!
Not a bad idea, Dr.
As the Queen Of Hearts would say..
“OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!”
These pets are for us to take care of and love, they are Gods gift to us to do just that. Our pets love us unconditionally and are very calming for most of us. these beautiful pets are a part of our family, they are a family member! What this devil and whoever was with him did to this innocent pet was commiting murder and they should be punished for that crime. Sadly though, our laws do not allow that. But, we can change the laws for this sort of thing as well as other criminal abuse to other animals. We need to become proactive and write to our senitors, and any one in office and that includes the president. We can write letters and sign petitions and picket if we have to. I am all for this, and do what i can do. I just dont know where to start other than this petition.
His back wasn’t bothering him when he was breaking into the house or stomping the puppy to death. I think a long rest in jail will do his back some good!
HE NEEDS TO PAY AND BE LOCKED UP FOR GOOD JERK
Sometimes I wish that someone could give these scumbags a taste of their own medicine and then some. I would spit in their faces and torture them. Let the scum suffer, that’s what he did. I really hope the right prisoner finds out what they did and beats them to a bloody pup.
I hope someone beats the crap out of him. The law does nothing for animals cause they don’t care. I wish there were hitmen to take care of every scum who did anything to an animal. Let their karma begin. Why the hell add repectively? I have none for scum. Hope he’s hurting bad!
What a poor excuse of a human! I have a name for people like this…….OXYGEN WASTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!! I was in tears behind this! I have an adorable little Maltese that I spoil to death… as a matter of fact he “abuses” me but I like it that way. He gets most of my queen sized bed and I take what’s left over. This man is heartless and I hope he lives a long, lonley life!!!
SICK HEARTLESS PEOPLE!!! THIS FATHER AND HIS SON SHOULD BE DEALT WITH>
What a sick bastard! He is a cold hearted,twisted ,disturbed and discusting man…..he deserves to rot in jail or a mental institute…..a murderer is a murderer…..just because he may have a small problem with his back he thinks he cant get away with killing an innocent puppy? He can do it to a puppy what will stop him from doing it to a helpless child? He deserves to b sentenced for a long time…and he needs to b tought a severe lesson!
What sick demented creeps. They deserve to have someone beat the living crap out of them. Stomp on there hands and maybe break them would be good just for starters.
I don’t care if this moron has the cooties,
the hee-bee gee-bees, jock itch,
the turkey-trots, and West Nile Virus!!!
Keep that puppy-killin’piece-of-$#!+
in the slammer and throw away the key!!
No bail!!
No probation!!
No parole!!
I hope and pray while in jail someone shows them both what they do to puppy killers….I hope they get them both good….
