Officials need your help to solve horrific act of animal cruelty


Officials need your help to solve horrific act of animal cruelty..

On Monday, Jan. 7, 2013 Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control (AC&C) officers responded to a call involving a one-year-old, male, pit bull terrier that had been intentionally tethered to a chain link fence and set on fire.  
The dog, which was deceased when officers arrived, was wearing a bright blue, nylon buckle collar, and had been tied to the fence with a leash. 
The crime occurred in a common area near the 1600 block of W 27thStreet in Riviera Beach.
AC&C staff veterinarians, using forensic technology, later determined that the dog was alive when it was set on fire and this is what ultimately led to its death.
Investigators at AC&C are asking the public to please call in with any information regarding this horrific crime.  Anyone with information is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS (8477).  All callers can remain anonymous.  The public can also call Animal Care and Control at (561) 233-1200, extension 0.

    1. Why is animal control saying the dog had a collar but, the newspaper which I think is very important states that officers said there was no collar. Can't anyone get their stories straight for the sake of the dog. If the dog indeed had a blue buckle nylong collar then state that in the paper so maybe the owner can come forward.

  2. This is disgusting...heartbreaking...and an act that only some insane person could perform. What is so exciting about watching an animal suffer? If you don't want an animal surrender it. I hope and I will be praying that the person that did this will be caught and punished to the fullest. We need to push for animal rights and for the judicial system to see why these criminals need punished.

    1. Sherri, I'm not much of a believer in God so please forgive me if I sound harsh but, if there is a God then how do religious people explain why criminals often times go unpunished.? If there is a God is he really watching from above and if so how can he be merciful and watch all the evil.? Do animals have to wait until God decides he needs to come back and deal with mankind? How much more does he need to see before it's judgement day? Like I said I'm not much of a believer but, when I see how horrible acts are being committed against the innocent and it's escalating can you blame me for not believing.?

  11. Now we have a bunch of pathetic copycats. We need an animal abuse law on the books called Mary's law that will put this human trash away for a very long time. We do not need these pathetic exuses for a human to be living or breathing along side of anyone...

  12. There's a special place in hell for the people that did this.

  13. This is going on all over the world and yet officials are still doing absolutely nothing in regards to animal abuse. And the sick twisted individuals that are doing this are still roaming the streets.And even if they do catch them the punishment is always a mere slap on the hand.One day it will be a child or an elderly person then watch the law move on that! But in the end they are just as much responsible as the abuser because they did nothing to stop animal abuse in the first place.

  17. This is a f n shame. The people involved in the horrific crime have mental n heart issue. There has to be someone who knows about this other than the idiot that did this.
    I pray God lets them be found and I pray there are men in this county that still have balls. Gather some good men together and find this piece of shit, take him/them down a road seldom used and beat the living shit out of them, breaking an arm n leg and see if these ass holes make it for help. Until some good men take matters in their own hands and use a few of these criminals as examples nothing will change. To the Judge: if these shit asses come before you, I beg you on my knees to give them maximum punishment + any other charges you can give them. These actions need to be stopped and until Judges act n prosecute these scum bags animal cruelty will never stop.
    I don't understand what makes a person so heartless n mean act like this but WE have to be the voice for these abused furry friends. I am angry inside that people in the neighborhood haven't taken this in their own hands, have people loss all heart for what happens around you? This could be your child next! Speak Up, Reach Out Together n find these Scum Bags and see they are punished. Please I beg you, no animal should have to go through a death as this! God be with this community n help them work together to bring these criminals down.
