Michael Morin has not been charged with a felony as of yet. The Biddeford Police Department has recommended a class D offense of burglary of a motor vehicle and a class D offense of animal cruelty [not aggravated animal cruelty, which is a felony offense, class C]. However the prosecutor (DA) office is reviewing it to determine whether it should be bumped up D to aggravated animal cruelty.
This petition is for the DA to upgrade the charge to aggravated animal cruelty, a class C felony offense here in Maine. Please sign this petition and pass along to many others ASAP. This decision is being made soon.
We are also having a protest at the Biddeford Courthouse with a tentative date of August 15th on the courtdate of Michael Morin. We will be having a meeting on August 2nd in Portland, ME with speakers from animal organizations to discuss animal cruelty in Maine. For updates, please email to Protest4Bandit@hotmail.com .
UPDATE!!!!
If you have not yet heard, last week Michael Morin was indicted with a felony charge of animal cruelty. Excellent news!!!
The case has been moved from the Biddeford District Courthouse to the Superior Courthouse in Alfred, ME. I have called and confirmed that the arraignment will be on September 11, 2007 at 8:30am. With this said, the protest that was to be held this coming Wednesday on August 15th in Biddeford is postponed and moved to the Superior Courthouse in Alfred, ME for the September 11th date. I am asking all to be at the courthouse an hour or so earlier.
We are there to show our support to Bandit, his family and to all abused animals in the state of Maine and all over. We are there to show that Mainers care and WILL NOT TOLERATE this again. We are there hoping that he will not just get a slap on the wrist like many do.
If you are attending this protest, please let me know. We want numbers there on that day and would be great to make history here in Maine.
The address for the Superior Court in Alfred, ME is: 45 Kennebunk Road, Alfred, Maine 04002. Anyone willing to offer a ride to a fellow protestor please let me know and I will take your information and pass it along to those who can use a ride.
Parking is on the side parking lot along Court Street on opposite side of the road from the Courthouse. Handicapped parking is located in the employee lot directly behind the courthouse.
I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you that has signed the petition, wrote and called the District Attorney, called and emailed me their reasons for wanting to help out, put up and handed out flyers, forwarded emails, wrote ads in papers and websites, interviewed us, made t-shirts, faxed and phoned all over, offered their services, spoke at and came to our meeting and advised me on this and so much more. You are all great and I look especially forward to meeting you all at the protest. Please let me know who you are and I am so proud that you have all come together with me on this effort. Thank you.

If you can do such a heinious crime to animal's. You can or have done this to to a human. Paul Kenney 12/21/07
I can not imagine losing a pet. Mine are such a huge part of my life and to think someone can walk away with a slap on the wrist for so viciously killing one is incomprehensible to me. Please prosecute to the fullest extend allowed by law!
There is NO excuse for killing or cruelty of any kind to an animal, under ANY circumstance! People like this DISGUST me! Someone should slit his throat!
animals deserver the same respect as humans. It is inhumane to harm animals in any way shape or form.I am a pet lover.
This guy needs to be prosecuted
I am a dog owner and feel that pets should be better protected under the law.
People need to understand a life is a life animal, human , or whatever any crime committed towards an animal should be delt with as if it was done to another human being.
because that p.o.s. should hang for what he did to a harmless dog.
It is cruel to do harm to any living thing! For a person to take there anger out on an innocent animal because of something so pathetic is completely wrong!! I hope this person gets what should be coming to them.. KARMA!!
Morin is a coward. Perhaps he should have dealt with the person he was fighting with, not a dog who did nothing. I can't wait for Morin to rot in a jail cell.
We shouldn't go easy on people who perform such cruel acts, whether it's an person OR an animal.
Because I love animals and anyone who would do this to an animal is mentally disturbed likely to eventually hurt a child or someone else.
this is horrible i have a dog and would slit the throat of anyone who touched my dog and had any kind of gruesome of discontent planned for my pup
Animals are just the same as people....this dog did nothing wrong. and this guy should be in jail. how can you brutally torture and kill something for no reason at all? how can you sleep at night?
That guy chose to take out his aggressions on the dog because he "knew" he wouldn't get into a lot of trouble. Killing the innocent dog over something his owner did was the cowardly road to take and he should feel the affects of his useless cruelty.
I have been involved in animal rescue for the past 21 years. Durring this time I have come across many different types of animal abuse. Many times this abuse was committed by someone with a history of violence. We need to send a clear message that creulty, of any nature, will not be tollerated. I feel this is an important step in reducing the number of abused animals.
behavior like this should not be tolerated
Cruelty of ANY sort CANNOT be tolerated!
It%u2019s wrong to harm innocent creatures, whether it is human or not. This act was disgusting. If one person gets away with such an offence, it%u2019s only going to open the door for other injustices of the same nature. Personally I think it should be treated as seriously as the murder of a person.
I'm against animal cruelity.And just thinks its wrong what people do to animals.Animals of any kind.
This is so wrong!! This man needs to be punished to the fullest extent of the law!! Anybody who can murder an innocent little animal in cold blood like that, to get back at the owner, is just.. ugh, there are no words. Disgusting..
I think it is VERY WRONG.. I dont think any amimal should be traeted that way... He needs to go to jail for this...
animal shouldnt be a victim! they are innocent and bandit didnt do anything wrong! if someone can kill an animal they can kill a person! we need to help fight for bandit since he cant fight for himself anymore! once again, animals shouldnt be a victim they are just an innocent soul!
I would kill him myself if I could!
This man needs to be punished!
