Quincy, MA – On Friday, devastating news was released about a raccoon who was intentionally set on fire by a man named Andrew Chieu. The New England Wildlife Center informed the public that despite providing round-the-clock care to the injured animal, she passed away.

The post outlines the abused raccoon’s demise:

We were so hopeful we could get her through this tragic event but the damage to her body from the burns ended up being too severe. Yesterday she underwent her third surgery to address her burns and even more tissue had become necrotic since the last procedure. We removed the damaged tissue and applied honey to help with the healing process. Her vitals were stable throughout the process.

This morning we found her more lethargic than usual and shortly after her morning meds she arrested. Though CPR was attempted and emergency medications administered, we simply weren’t able to get her back. We are all very sad today, but don’t regret giving her a chance. We know she was fighting until the end.

Chieu was arrested for intentionally setting fire to a cage containing the raccoon. He is facing felony animal cruelty charges.
