Justice for D.J.

The Issue

I am writing this to urge all of you to take a moment of your time to call the Saint Helens, Oregon Police department at 503-366-4611 and demand they take action against George Bainbridge for one of the most senseless acts of animal cruelty I have ever heard of. He lives next door to the Baxter Potbelly Pig and Farm Animal rescue on Robinette Road and for months has been tearing down the fence between the properties trying to entice an animal onto his property and threatening to shoot it while patrolling the fence line with his compound bow. Today he succeeded. He coaxed D.J. a wouldn't hurt a fly farm pig to cross the property line and then shot him in the neck. As D.J. ran for his life Mr. Bainbridge, as he proudly told animal control, "I chased him down and shot him again figuring I could use the meat." He then shot D.J. a second time after he re-crossed the property line running for his shelter. D.J. passed from his wounds after surgery to try to save him. Mr. Bainbridge is a two time convicted felon who the local authorities have taken a "Well that's just George" point of view on. I pray you inundate the police with calls until they are forced to take action. Do not let the murder of D.J. go unnoticed or unpunished....
