Target: Sherriff John Wilcher, Chatham County Sheriff’s Office
Goal: Ensure appropriate punishment for those allegedly involved in the shocking acts of animal cruelty and dog fighting in Savannah.
The recent allegations against Isaiah Nicholas Goodman, a man out on bond for murder, appear to reveal a disturbing pattern of violent behavior extending further into heinous acts of animal cruelty. Goodman has been arrested on 27 counts relating to animal cruelty and dog fighting, including 12 counts of cruelty to animals, six counts of aggravated cruelty to animals, and nine counts of dog fighting. These allegations suggest a blatant disregard for the welfare of defenseless animals, further highlighting an urgent need for legal intervention.
The charges against Goodman are not isolated incidents, as he has a prior murder charge from 2020. This alarming sequence of events raises serious concerns about public safety and the treatment of animals in the community. Engaging in dog fighting is not only cruel but fosters an environment of violence and depravity that can spill over into the community at large. The purported actions of Goodman and any accomplices must be scrutinized and addressed with severe penalties in order to deter future occurrences of such cruelty.
Given the severity of these allegations and the potential risks posed by repeat offenders, it is essential to hold those reportedly responsible for these acts accountable. Immediate action is needed in the form of appropriate legal consequences to ensure that those involved in this reported violence against animals face rigorous scrutiny and potential imprisonment. The demand is clear: ensure appropriate punishment for those allegedly involved in these shocking cases of animal cruelty and dog fighting.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Sheriff Wilcher,
The recent allegations against Isaiah Nicholas Goodman, who faces 27 charges related to animal cruelty and dog fighting, are not only shocking but also highlight the urgent need for action to protect vulnerable animals in our community. Goodman, currently out on bond for a previous murder charge, has reportedly been involved in heinous acts that include 12 counts of cruelty to animals and six counts of aggravated cruelty. This alarming behavior underscores a troubling pattern that must be addressed with seriousness and urgency.
The reported involvement in dog fighting and the associated cruelty reveals a disturbing trend that threatens the safety and well-being of animals and, by extension, our community. It is crucial that we do not allow such alleged violence to continue unchecked. The severity of these allegations calls for immediate and significant legal consequences that can serve as a deterrent to others and signal that animal cruelty will not be tolerated.
We strongly urge your office to pursue the fullest extent of the law against those allegedly involved in these abhorrent acts of cruelty. The community deserves assurance that measures are in place to prevent such violence and to protect innocent animals from further harm. Thank you for your attention to this critical issue.
Sincerely,
