Waco, Texas: A disturbing video of a dog being set on fire has
emerged online. This petition aims to bring justice to this innocent victim –
we, the undersigned, demand that the perpetrator is held accountable to the
fullest extent of the law for this unspeakable cruelty.
The disturbing video was posted on Snapchat by the attacker himself
– Zach Molina, a student at a Midway High School. I have decided not to attach
the video this petition due to its sensitive nature, but a link to view the
footage is available below.
Molina proudly posted the video on Snapchat and bragged about what
he did to the dog to all his friends. As soon as critics started to mount, he
decided it was better to have the video deleted. However, Serena Teakell, a
bartender at a local Wako bar, managed to record the original Snapchat video
and posted it on Facebook, where it was shared over 7k times and received over
500k views. Hopefully, now everyone knows Zach Molina’s true face.
The video shows the dog being shot at several times. Molina then
stuffs a pair fireworks in the dog and sets them off; he then is seen grabbing
a lighter and setting the lifeless dog on fire. Up to this point, it is not
known how the dog died and if Molina had anything to do with it. However, the
fact that the dog was not alive at the time of the incident does not excuse
Molina for any of his actions.
The dog’s owner came forward and stated that his beloved pet had
gone missing, managing to break free of his collar while chasing a rabbit in
the park.
The Hewitt Police Department has confirmed that they are actively
investiganting. It is definitely a good point, but not enough, since I have
been reading about similar cases in which teens have been allowed to get away
with it due to their age. We cannot let this happen in this case. Zach Molina
must pay for what he did and age should not be used as an excuse, because the
heartless teenager was perfectly aware of what he was doing.
Demand justice and ensure that Zach Molina will be held accountable!
