The Nassau County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people who placed seven dead pit bulls in trash bags.
Animal Cruelty Stoppers have asked for the help of the public after four females, two males and a 3 month old puppy were discovered in a New York State Department of Transportation Sump on Wednesday.
‘This is horrendous, that somebody would kill these animals and dump them over the fence in the sump,’ Nassau SPCA Detective Gary Rogers said according to News 12 Long Island.
‘The Nassau County SPCA is offering this reward because it feels someone knows who placed these dogs there,’ an alert released on Wednesday read.
Four females, two males and a 3 month old puppy were discovered in a NYS Department of Transportation sump on Wednesday
‘We feel that it is necessary to use every available tool in fighting animal cruelty to ensure that the abusers face the maximum penalty under the law!’
All information regarding the devastating scene at Dietz St and South Franklin St in Hempstead will be kept confidential in order to encourage people to come forward with tips.
While the organization has given out $5,000 in rewards to date, they need help to continue their work to bringing animal abusers to justice.
Nassau Country SPCA urged the public to support them by donating what money they can to help give animals a voice.

‘Our voiceless friends cannot make that call themselves! Please don’t let them down, be their voice!’ they wrote.
Many expressed their disgust in the Facebook comments section of the SPCA page and their post was shared over 1,000 times.
Michelle Wiecezak Cohen wrote: ‘Reading the comments made me feel a little better…to see that people are just as sickened, and just as pissed off as me helps. I am horrified by what is walking around our streets today…not human. I wish I can unsee this.’
But some Facebook users called for stricter laws on animal cruelty.
Sandy Unger wrote: ‘So when will the laws change so that this doesn’t keep continuing??? happens all the time with NO repercussions. oh wait IF they’re caught they go on a list to not have a dog for 5 years. wake up lawmakers!! sickening!’
