Norfolk, Va. — Yesterday, a video surfaced showing a young blond woman throwing six puppies, who were just weeks old, into a river as the animals whined and cried. Web users believe that the video, which was originally posted on YouTube, may have been filmed near the Vrbas River in Bosnia and Herzegovina. PETA is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for this heinous act.

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. “They take their issues out on the most defenseless beings available to them. The public has good reason to be concerned. According to law-enforcement agencies and leading mental-health professionals, perpetrators of violent acts against animals are often repeat offenders who pose a serious threat to all animals—including humans.”

Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to contact PETA’s Cruelty Investigations Department at 757-622-PETA (7382), extension 8037, or [email protected].
