Pekingese poodle dog has been a victim of a dog crime
The last month has been horrible for crimes against dogs. It seems as if the heartless dog nappers and killers are really on the lose. Unfortunately, yet another dog has been a victim of a dog crime. A 5-month-old Pekingese poodle mix was put into an oven and the oven was turned on when his home was being burglarized.
The dogs mother came home to find her kitchen engulfed with smoke and her puppy in the oven! Green Bay police are investigating it as a burglary and an animal cruelty case.
“Cases like this that involve torturing an animal — and use of fire or heat — I find particularly disturbing and particularly predictive of the potential for future acts of violence,” said Randall Lockwood, senior vice president of Anti-Cruelty Field Services for the ASPCA.
This is absolutely horrible. I can not imagine how the pups mom must be feeling right now, and to think the sick person or persons who did this are still running around free!
The Wisconsin chapter of the Humane Society of the United States has offered a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible. Anyone with information can call Green Bay police at (920) 448-3208 or can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at (920) 432-7867.
