Bristol Twp., Pa. -- On Saturday, March 30, a dog was reportedly found tied to a rock in Neshaminy Creek in Bristol Township as the water was rising. The dog was rescued by passersby and will be up for adoption at the Bucks County SPCA. News sources state that the dog showed signs of ongoing neglect, including an untreated tumor on her leg and eye infections, as well as being emaciated. Police have yet to make any arrests in this case. That's why PETA is offering up to $2,500 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for this violent crime.
Would you please consider sharing this information with your audience? It might be the only way to apprehend those responsible for this heinous act.
"Animal abusers are cowards," says PETA Manager Martin Mersereau. "Area residents have good reason to be concerned. People who demonstrate such blatant disregard for life and desensitization to suffering can pose a serious risk to all animals—including humans—with whom they come into contact."
Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to contact the Bristol Police at 215-785-4040.
