Protect Wildlife After Young Coyote Was Stomped to Death

Target: Kwame Raoul, Illinois Attorney General

Goal: Identify and prosecute those allegedly responsible for the brutal killing of a young coyote.

A heartbreaking and disturbing incident took place in Mt. Greenwood, where a group of young men was seen stomping a young coyote to death. A witness described seeing the suspects violently attacking the defenseless animal before fleeing in a dark-colored truck. Authorities have since opened an investigation, but as of now, no arrests have been made.

Coyotes are a protected species in Illinois, and such a cruel and senseless act cannot go unpunished. This act of animal cruelty is not only reprehensible but also a warning sign of potential future violence. Studies have shown a link between harming animals and violent behavior, making it imperative that law enforcement take this case seriously and ensure those responsible are held accountable.

A full investigation must be conducted to identify and prosecute the perpetrators. Additionally, public awareness and education about the legal protections afforded to wildlife must be emphasized to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. Urge authorities to send a clear message that cruelty to animals will not be tolerated.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear AG Raoul,

The recent report of a young coyote being brutally stomped to death by a group of young men in Mt. Greenwood is deeply alarming. A witness observed the attack and attempted to confront the individuals before they fled the scene. As coyotes are a protected species in Illinois, such an act not only constitutes animal cruelty but may also be a violation of state wildlife laws.

Animal cruelty is a serious offense that must not be ignored. Studies have shown a strong correlation between harming animals and future violent behavior, making it imperative that the individuals responsible for this act are identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Failure to take action could set a dangerous precedent, allowing further instances of animal abuse to occur without consequence.

We urge you to use all available resources to identify the perpetrators of this act and ensure justice is served. This case represents an opportunity to uphold Illinois’ animal protection laws and demonstrate that cruelty to wildlife will not be tolerated.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
