The Issue

YouTube content creator Ross Creations (Ross Louis Palumbo) built a baited contraption designed to catapult a wild opossum into the air for a video. The video, which has since been deleted from his main channels but circulated via re-uploads, shows the animal being launched approximately 50 feet into the air and crashing to the ground. 

In the video, the opossum appeared extremely stunned and was shown slowly walking away. This most likely lead to the opossum suffering an agonizing, slow death due to his actions.

Animal abuse is a heinous crime. It's evil, and we want justice for the animal tortured in this situation.

Animal cruelty is a 3rd degree felony in Florida, and Ross Creations should be prosecuted for it.

Another signature for this petition is another person against animal cruelty and abuse.
