Christy

BALTIMORE, MD - BARCS is seeking information about a dog who was abused on Easter Sunday. The Baltimore Bureau of Animal Control received a call about youths throwing rocks and bricks at a dog who was tied up in the 3700 block of Greenspring Avenue near the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School. When a concerned citizen went to rescue the dog, the youths began throwing rocks and bricks at him. The suspects appeared to be 12 or 13 years old.

The one-year old dog (now named Christy) was brought to BARCS where she is being treated for severe injuries. She was found to have several wounds on the top of her head, her snout was very swollen with multiple wounds, there were a number of wounds in both nostrils, hemorrhages in both eyes, a wound on the dorsal surface of her front paw, and crusted blood in booth ears, both nostrils, and in her eyes.

This case is under active investigation by the Baltimore City Bureau of Animal Control. Animal Enforcement Officers are contacting the school to determine if the surveillance cameras captured the incident. Jennifer Mead-Brause, BARCS' Executive Director, appealed to any one with information about the case to step forward:

“This is another shocking incident of animal abuse. Once again the fact that perpetrators are so young people is very disturbing. These young people are in urgent need of help. Incidents of animal abuse are a key predictor of violent criminal behavior. Any one with information is asked to call the Baltimore city Bureau of Animal Control at (410) 396-4698. I urge people living in the neighborhood to pay close attention to their companion animals. Animals who are allowed to roam at large are an easy target for this type of abuse.”
