$1,000 Reward Offered for Information Leading to Arrest and Conviction of Puppy Mutilator

San Juan, Puerto Rico — The national nonprofit Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) is offering a $1,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator(s) who savagely mutilated a puppy by chopping all four legs off. The black puppy was found alive in a parking lot with infected and rotting bones and was euthanized last Sunday.
According to media reports, a local animal rescue group called Rabito Kontento had seen the puppy, who they named “Ocean,” playing happily on the beach with his mother last Friday. Ocean was found mutilated on Sunday near a resort in the northern coastal town of Hatillo. The rescue group’s spokesperson, Mariel Rojas has said “Nobody has seen anything; nobody has said anything.”
Aggravated animal abuse is a second-degree felony in Puerto Rico. The penalty for felony aggravated animal abuse is a minimum of eight and maximum of 15 years in prison, under section 16-70 of the cruelty code. Puerto Rico now has some of the strongest anti-cruelty statutes that exist after sweeping legislation was passed in 2008 based on ALDF’s Model Animal Protection Laws. That legislative victory came after some alarming animal cruelty cases in Puerto Rico prompted international petitions threatening to boycott the country unless it strengthened its animal cruelty laws. For example, in 2007 a private animal control company was accused of hurling companion animals from a bridge.
“Our hearts break for Ocean, and all the other animals like him who suffer from the sadistic cruelty of abusers” says Stephen Wells, ALDF executive director. “We call on anyone with knowledge of this horrific act to come forward for the safety of other animals. Abusers frequently repeat violent crimes against helpless animals, and often go on to victimize people as well.”
If you have information relating to the identity of the person or persons who mutilated this puppy, please contact the Animal Legal Defense Fund at 707-795-2533, x1010.

Faut-il être lâche pour faire ce genre de chose, et en particulier sur des petits chiots sans défense. Vous êtes un homme “très courageux”, feriez-vous la même chose à un grand tigre ?
Should it be cowardly to do this kind of thing, especially on defenseless puppies. You are a “very courageous” man, would you do the same thing to a large tiger?
