Reward Doubled for Information Leading to Arrest
and Conviction of Those Abusing, Burning Dogs and Cats in
San Antonio and Blanco
Press Release by Animal Defense League
San Antonio, TX – Saturday, July 19,
2008 – The reward for information leading to the arrest
and conviction of those who have abused and burned dogs and
cats in San Antonio and Blanco in recent weeks has doubled
to $2,000, thanks to Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation
(WRR) matching the original $1,000 reward offered by the Animal
Defense League (ADL).
WRR founder and executive director Lynn Cuny
praised ADL for offering the reward and said she is matching
the amount to try to encourage people to come forward with
information that will help stop the abuse of companion animals
in our community.
Recently ADL rescued two dogs who had been
severely burned, a dog who had been hung from a tree, and
a cat whose tail and been burned. And WRR
assisted in the rescue and treatment of a puppy who had
been horribly abused in Blanco by a man who broke into a home
and poured bleach down the puppy's throat.
 ADL
executive director Ron Aaron thanked Ms. Cuny and WRR for
joining with ADL. "Lynn and I are both horrified by the
violence we have seen in recent weeks. We believe the perpetrators
are teenage boys or adult males in their twenties. And based
on the nature of these crimes it is very likely they have
bragged to friends and acquaintances about what they did to
those animals."
"Bottom line," Cuny added, "someone
knows who did this. And we hope the $2,000 reward will provide
the incentive for them to come forward and tell us what they
know."
Those with information on the abuse in San
Antonio should call ADL Executive Director Ron Aaron at (210)
655-1481 x111. ADL will pass any and all information on to
Animal Care Service's abuse investigators who work closely
with the San Antonio Police Department.
Those with information on the torture of the
puppy in Blanco should call WRR Executive Director Lynn Cuny
at (830) 336-2725 x309. WRR will pass any and all information
on to the Blanco Police Department which is conducting the
investigation.
