Sign the Petition
Target: Hon. George Gascón, Los Angeles County District Attorney
Goal: Ensure strict legal consequences for alleged animal cruelty and ensure the safety and well-being of the injured puppy.
In a deeply disturbing incident, a Los Angeles man was caught on surveillance video allegedly dropping a 7-month-old puppy down an apartment staircase. Allegedly, the man, identified as 27-year-old Joeboury Coleman, was seen in the footage grabbing the dog by the collar, taking it to the stairway railing, and then callously dropping the animal. Concerned residents of the Koreatown residence alerted the LAPD after the videos were posted on social media, leading to Coleman’s arrest.
Coleman has pled not guilty to three felony charges of animal cruelty and is currently being held without bond. He is due back in court for a preliminary hearing. Fortunately, the puppy, though injured, survived the fall and was seen running back up the stairs in the video. The dog has been taken to a local animal shelter for treatment of a broken hind leg consistent with a fall and might require surgery. Ensure strict legal consequences for this alleged animal cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Hon. George Gascón,
I am writing to express my deep concern over the recent incident involving a 7-month-old puppy allegedly being dropped down an apartment staircase by Joeboury Coleman in Los Angeles. This heinous act of apparent animal cruelty was captured on surveillance video, reportedly showing the man callously dropping the puppy, resulting in severe injuries.
Such acts of cruelty towards innocent animals cannot be tolerated and must be met with strict legal consequences. It is imperative that justice is served for the injured puppy and to send a strong message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our community.
I urge you to ensure that Coleman faces the full extent of the law for his suspected actions and that the puppy receives the necessary medical care and a safe environment for recovery. By taking a firm stance against animal cruelty, we can work towards creating a society where animals are treated with the compassion and respect they deserve.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
