- Connecticut, USA -
Officials are investigating after fireworks were shot into dog kennels at the New London Animal Shelter in Connecticut on the Fourth of July.
Animal Control Officer Robert Yuchniuk found the evidence the following day.
He told WTNH: “I saw a whole bunch of the fireworks inside the fenced-in area and then some actually exploded pieces inside the kennel section where we keep the dogs.”
Part of a Facebook post published by the Waterford-East Lyme Animal Control on July 5, read: ”This morning we arrived at the New London Animal shelter in Bates Woods Park, and it looks like a war zone with all the expended firework debris in our parking lot. There is even a spot of grass that had been lit on fire overnight, burning several square feet of dried grass. While cleaning the kennels today, i found a whole bunch of debris INSIDE the dog kennels, this tells me that someone was intentionally shooting fireworks at the dogs in the kennels. I can only imagine how frightened the twelve dogs in the kennel last night were. This is a miserable place for the animals on the best days, last night must have been unbearable.”
According to the agency, the New London Police responded to the park several times but unfortunately officers were not able to locate those responsible for such evil acts.
Police called the New London Fire Department because a small area of grass had caught fire.
Unfortunately, the shelter does not have a surveillance system and the only witnesses are the VOICELESS VICTIMS who have suffered a great deal at the hands of these evil, soulless, and heartless individuals.
While Officer Yuchnuik said: “Maybe we can have a conversation with the municipal governments about putting some cameras down here and, hopefully, get the word out,” we have to make sure that these monsters are identified and face legal consequences.
If you have information about who may be involved in this crime, please contact the New London Police Department at (860) - 447 - 5269 ext. 0.
