Humane Society for Hamilton County
Establishes Reward
Fund--In an effort to find those responsible
for the torture of 4 Cicero family pets--
Noblesville, Ind., August 2, 2008– After the report came out
that four cats had been found brutally beaten to death in
Cicero yesterday, the outpouring of support and community
outrage made it clear we needed to come together and help
find those responsible for this horrible crime. The Humane
Society has now established a reward fund with a seed amount
of $500 that will be paid to the person or persons providing
the Cicero Police Department
with information that leads to the arrest and conviction of
those responsible for deaths of
these animals. The shelter will continue to accept
donations for the reward fund as the investigation
continues.
“The phones were ringing off the hook at the Humane Society
yesterday from those wanting
to know what steps would be taken to find those responsible
for the brutal beatings and subsequent deaths of these
family pets,” said Rebecca Stevens, executive director of
the Humane Society. “The Cicero Police Department is
investigating the incident, but we feel that by establishing
a reward fund we will be able to encourage anyone with
information
regarding those involved in this horrific crime to come
forward and help hold those
responsible accountable.”
In 2007, the Humane Society established a reward fund to
help find the individual responsible for dumping nine,
emaciated and terribly neglected pit bulls in Hamilton
County. The reward fund generated the leads that ultimately
lead to the arrest and subsequent conviction of
Adam McRee.
Those interested in making a donation to the reward fund
should contact the Humane Society for Hamilton County at
317-773-4974 or email hamiltonhumane@yahoo.com. Anyone with
information regarding the killings of these Cicero family
pets should contact the Cicero Police Department at
317-773-1282.
The mission of the Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC)
is saving lives, educating communities, and completing
families.
