Target: Ellen F. Rosenblum, Attorney General of Oregon
Goal: Punish man apparently caught on camera hitting dog and hanging the animal from a fire extinguisher.
A deeply troubling case of alleged animal abuse has emerged in Portland, where Isaac Booker Justham was arrested for reportedly abusing a small black dog inside a Northeast Portland apartment building. Security footage showed the suspect allegedly hitting the dog with a heavy rope, hanging it from a fire extinguisher, and kicking it. The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) took Justham into custody, but he has apparently refused to provide information about the dog’s whereabouts.
The suspect now faces three felony counts of first-degree aggravated animal abuse. However, the case raises significant concerns about animal welfare and the need for stronger enforcement and protection measures. Deter such cruel acts and ensure justice for all animals in Oregon.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Attorney General Rosenblum,
I am writing to express my deep concern over the recent case of alleged animal abuse involving Isaac Booker Justham in Portland. According to reports, Justham was arrested for allegedly abusing a small black dog inside a Northeast Portland apartment building. The shocking footage reportedly shows the dog being repeatedly struck with a heavy rope, hung from a fire extinguisher, and kicked.
While Justham has been charged with three felony counts of first-degree aggravated animal abuse, this case highlights the urgent need for stronger protections for animals in Oregon. The cruel treatment of animals is unacceptable, and it is essential that those responsible for such acts are held fully accountable.
I urge you to ensure that the individual involved in this case is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Additionally, I request that you work to implement stronger animal welfare laws and enforcement measures to prevent future incidents of abuse and ensure that all animals in Oregon are protected from harm.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

I think it’s simple…no bail until the dog is found. If he sits in jail a while either he or some fool who cares about him will give up the dog.
