Animal Defense Council Offers Reward For

Information About Mutilated Donkeys

 

Today the Tucson-based Animal Defense Council is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who mutilated  two donkeys on a farm in Marion, Wisconsin . Someone

cut off the tails of two gentle donkeys, Thelma and Norton. Thelma also had five inches of bone and flesh, from the bony part of the tail, cut off. Whoever committed this brutal act of animal cruelty should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and undergo psychological counseling, said Carmine Cardamone, director of the Animal Defense Council.  Cruelty to animals is often an indicator of future violence against

humans, Cardamone said. ADC is urging anyone with information to contact the Waushara County Sheriffs Department at (920) 787 -5219 or Crime Stoppers  at 800- 800- 5219.

In addition to a Waushara County Crime Stoppers award, the Animal Defense Council of Tucson, Arizona, is offering a reward of $500 for information that will help solve the case. The Wisconsin Donkey & Mule Society (WDMS) added $200 to the reward amounts so that the total reward offering is now around $1,000.
Anyone with information about this abuse is asked to please call Crime Stoppers at 800-800-5219. Callers can remain anonymous.
