Earlier this year, a Florida teacher gathered his students for a disturbing lesson: they were going to kill two raccoons and an opossum that the teacher had trapped.
Take Action
Dewie Brewton took a group of students outside, where he lowered the animals — still in cages — into trash cans filled with water. He even had the students use metal rods and garden hoses to drown a raccoon who was fighting for her life.

“It made me sick to my stomach,” a mother of one of the students told the media. “It’s terrible. It still does make me sick to my stomach.”

And yet Brad King, the state attorney assigned to the case, decided not to file charges against Brewton, incorrectly stating that Florida law allows for this kind of killing — even though veterinary professionals agree that drowning is inhumane.

This is unacceptable. We’re demanding that Florida Governor Rick Scott reassign the case to another state attorney — as Florida law allows — and we need your help. Please sign our petition to Governor Scott right now so that we can send the strongest message possible that animal abuse will not be tolerated.

If we can persuade the governor to assign the case to a new state attorney, these tortured animals might get a second chance at justice. And we’ll be making clear that animal cruelty should be punished in Florida. Please sign our petition now and make your voice heard. Thank you!

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has unveiled dreadful plans that put tens of thousands of wild horses and burros in grave danger; they need your urgent help right now! TAKE ACTION
