A Boca Raton, Florida woman was apprehended after she kicked a dog into a river and left the pooch to drown without looking back.
Fortunately, a group of caring people that witnessed the scene managed to save the animal in distress.
I was simply trying to follow the noise Greg Bunch recalls.
The man had just finished off the dock at the Silver Palm Park when he suddenly head the dog’s cry for help. He was tracked a few meter away, towards the north end of the dock.
Bunch recalls
seeing a woman toss the helpless canine into the water. When he shouted after
the heartless owner and demanded an explanation, the woman replied she lived on
the other side of the Intracoastal river and that the dog would eventually swim
back to her place.
Another witness helped Bunch get the dog out of the river. After the rescue, Bunch noticed that the dog had been tied up with what seems to a speaker cord around her neck and back leg.
The dog, now dubbed Jellybean, was taken to Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control where she is recovering. She will be kept under strict observation for the next few days, before being put up for adoption.
She is very sweet and very active – one member of the staff stated.
Investigators got a break as the dog was wearing a collar and a chip; they traced the dog’s owner back to a certain Richard Ostrovski, but the man indicated that the real owner was, in fact, his mother, Eva Klein. The callous woman was booked and charged and was since released on bail. Police offiers claim the woman seemed to have no regrets about what she had done.
Please sign the petition and demand the maximum penalty available under Florida laws against this sick woman! Her actions cannot, by any means, go unpunished!
Demand justice for
Jellybean, the sweet dog left to drown by this out-of-control woman.
