Everyone knows that one of the first signs
of a potential serial killer is that they mutilate, torture and kill animals
before moving onto prey that could potentially fight back. It seems that there
may be one or more such individuals in Yonkers, New York. Authorities
discovered around 25 cats that were beaten to death in the head, placed in
plastic bags and hung in a tree around a half a mile from the Bronx.
Authorities were baffled and shocked to say
the least. Westchester SPCA Ernest Lungaro stated that, "We have found, in
the past, cases where cats were poisoned, but we've never seen anything where
they're killing them this violently." Authorities also announced that they
found a baseball bat, a metal pipe and two shovels not far from the tree where
the cats were hung, but further investigation is needed to determine if they
were involved in the killings.
Police officers and SCPA officials are
still trying to determine the person or persons involved with this horrific
slaughter as well as if the cats were all feral or if they were pets. It has
been determined that these cat murders have been going on for some time. Some
of the cats discovered had been dead only three or four days, while others were
little more than skeletons.
While police investigate, Alley Cat Allies
based out of Maryland offer a $750 dollar reward for information leading to the
arrest of the guilty parties.
