Target: Ray Whitley, District Attorney General of Summer County, TN
Goal: Prosecute man who allegedly fatally burned pet kitten to fullest extent.
“There was no way to even comprehend the amount of pain he was feeling.” This somber statement came from the rescue group who cared for Phoenix, a five-week-old kitten brought to the Tennessee-based organization. Phoenix had apparently suffered severe burns over much of his body, leaving him with extensive nerve damage. Despite the rescue’s best efforts, Phoenix tragically died from his injuries.
Local police reportedly confirmed that these horrific burns resulted from Phoenix being tossed into a fire pit. He is beleived to have suffered for days without medical intervention before his case was brought to authorities’ attention…precious time that could have been used to save his life. Richard Lee Tyler Russell, the man with whom Phoenix lived, has been charged with aggravated animal cruelty.
Sign the petition below to demand he receive maximum punishment if found guilty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear District Attorney General Whitley,
Suspect Richard Lee Tyler Russell has an impending court date on charges of aggravated animal cruelty. He stands accused of throwing his pet kitten into a fire pit and leaving the animal to suffer from extensive injuries without medical aid. Although the kitten was later rescued thanks to a tip from a good Samaritan, he reportedly died in agony. The rescue organization who battled to save his life said of the tragedy: “his tiny body was just unable to fight off the horrible burns he was dealing with, plus the smoke inhalation.”
Both this organization, who witnessed the horrific effects firsthand, and the community at large are pleading for justice to be served. Please be vigilant in prosecuting this disturbing case and pursuing the most severe penalty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Thanks for putting the pos name out there.
Whoever did this despicable act needs the same treatment and NO medical help after!!! Bastard!!
The piece of shit who did this needs to be thrown into a fire pit.
The cunt should be burned at the stake. Law is way too lenient against abusers
Burn that pos alive,like he did to that poor mite.
No punishment is strong enough for him.
Flame thrower comes to mind. Evil piece of crap
Shoved up the bastards asshole preferably
That sounds like an awesome idea J Martin! 😀😄
Richard Lee Tyler Russell should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Please enforce a lifetime ban from contact and from owning any animal. This abuse, torture and cruelty should have been prevented. This tiny kitten did not deserve to suffer at his hands. Thank you.
If found guilty, no jail time just execute him ASAP!!!!
I agree 100%
… Someone said in a post from last fall that this evil monster man did this intentionally and that it was no accident. His supposed (excuse) ((he’s a sorry excuse if you ask me)) is that he got the kitten to coax his ex girlfriend back, and when it didn’t serve his purpose he tortured the kitten by tossing the pure and innocent baby into the fire repeatedly. He then took the severely burned kitten home where little Phoenix literally languished in agony for several days prior to when someone who came over to his house thankfully notified the authorities and it was then that the pooor thing was actually rescued ! This is beyond sick and depraved extremely diobolical ! If it wasn’t for the angel who came over and the heaven sent ASPCA of AZ., Phoenix would not have been rescued from the unimaginable pain and suffering that he was put through and then for days after that with absolutely NO medical treatment given! Phoenix has passed but I will never forget this beloved creature’s story, and the tragic way a precious sweet one was treated that most definitely did NOT deserve to go through anything ever like that. ““PLEASE DONATE TO THE ASPCA IN MEMORIAL OF PHOENIX; SHOP AND SUPPORT THE AMAZING WORK THAT THEY DO !!! “”

If Tennessee can’t do something about this bag of crap, I’ll gladly donate my time to get true justice for sweet, little Phoenix (kitten who fought valiantly for his life but was just too injured). I’m so bleeping sick of monsters like this not getting what they deserve I could scream!
Extremely sad, cruel and horrifying!!! The poor poor kitten!!! Please get this sicko in jail, pay a huge fine, do hours and hours of community service picking up trash like the piece of shit this guy is and never ever let him have any animals!!!! I really hope this disgusting ass hole never has kids. They would suffer with him.
I say take him to a gun range and use him for target practice!
This is the act of a psychopath . It is cruelty without feeling . A dangerous man to have in society . He needs locked away so he harms no one.
What a nasty lowdown piece of shit!!! This scumbag bastard should have the same happen to him!! I really hope he burns in hell and suffers before he leaves this world!!! BASTARD!!!
THIS IS JUST AN OUTRAGE. PROSECUTE THAT LOWLIFE SCUMBAG TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW AND HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL BURN 🔥 HIM TO A CRISP.I HOPE SOMEONE WILL POUR SULFURIC ACID ALL OVER AND LET HIM SUFFER A SLOW AND TORTUROUS PAINFUL DEATH.
Phoenix my heart has another crack. I am so sorry…
Please throw this vile lowlife evil psycho into a human size fire pit and lock him in there.
If the law does not give Phoenix his justice then I hope the Grimm Reaper will with your one way ticket to hell.
This pos should be executed
and further the law is so weak and disgusting it infuriates me!
STEP UP!!!!! DAMN IT
Richard Lee Tyler Russell– I put a curse on you, and monsters like you! One day, there will be a reckoning. You will be doused with bleach and gas, your MFA will be set on fire and then whilst alive, dismembered and disemboweled into pieces, and your remains beaten into hell. I will rest good at night after that. Justice for all animals that suffer cruelty at the hands of disgusting human monsters every day.
As a licensed mental health professional forget about concept of treatment for this; he should be imprisoned for as long as possible and never be given access to animals. Time for communities to take animal abuse as a seriously horrific crime, with punishment harsh enough to just maybe be a deterrent
I’m so so sick of humans! And the friggin courts DO NOTHING to hold the jerks accountable! People just don’t care….someone who can do something like this need to be somewhere where they can’t hurt animals ever again…prison is to good for them! Throw them in a fire pit!
