For the third time in two weeks, another case of animal cruelty has been reported in Butler County.
Tobi Allen of Foster Avenue reported to Hamilton Police last week that someone used a sharp object of some sort and cut the throat of her pet pit bull, killing the dog.
Those responsible then threw the dog down an embankment near a gravel pit located behind the St. Clair Apartments on St. Clair Avenue, Allen told police.
Allen's mother said her daughter didn't want to talk about the incident because it would upset her grandchildren. The dog belonged to the kids, she said.
The case was closed by police because the family refused to talk about the incident, Hamilton Police Department spokesman Dave Crawford said.
Leland Gordon, executive director of the Animal Friends Humane Society, said he was unaware of the incident.
Animal control officer Vickey Steier of Butler County Animal Control said the crime had not been reported to the agency, but that she does plan to investigate the incident.
Steier said people should report animal cruelty whether they think it is important or not.
"If they're (suspects) doing something to a cat, or to a dog, or to mice, or whatever, those kids, if they're not stopped, they could go onto larger crimes, and it's better to stop this now," she said.
Anyone with information should call Steier at (513) 200-6621 or the Animal Friends Humane Society at (513) 867-5727. If you have information on this case, please contact:
