Guys, the person who stabbed Grand Theft Auto and Alibi—two cats in the Woodlawn neighborhood who managed to survive the June 25 attacks after being found near the intersection of NE 6th and Holman by their owner—is still at large. It seems the trail is going a little cold, so the national non-proft Animal Legal Defense Fund has stepped in to offer a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person/people responsible:

Under Oregon law, aggravated animal abuse is class C felony that carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $125,000 fine.

ALDF’s Criminal Justice Program Director, Scott Heiser, said, “We need the community to speak up here. As is common in child and elder abuse cases, these victim cats cannot speak for themselves let alone identify those who harmed them.” Heiser added, “Whoever did this poses a very real threat to the community as the research is unambiguous—those who intentionally harm animals are five times more likely to harm humans.”

If you have any information related to this incident, please contact Randall Brown, Chief Field Supervisor, Multnomah County Animal Services at randall.brown@multco.us or 503-988-9079.
