Authorities are trying to track down the person responsible for viciously attacking a cow, which was kept as a family pet. The eight-year-old animal, named "dawg," was kept in a field in South Jordan. It was attacked and stabbed to death in July of 2005 but now officials are trying to catch the killer. The animal�s family is extremely saddened by the violent attack and said �Dawg� was a loving animal who showed plenty of affection.
Animal rights activists are disturbed by this act of violence, saying that it shows the killer may be capable of anything. �If they're capable of subjecting an animal to something this atrocious, then they're certainly very capable of doing it to another human being,� said Sean Diener, Executive Director of the Utah Animal Rights Coalition. �People who abuse animals rarely stop there,� said the coalition�s Leici Hendrix. �We�re still hoping for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of whoever committed this despicable deed,� Humane Society Executive Director Gene Baierschmidt said.
$3,500 in cash rewards are being offered for information in this case.
�Dawg� was stabbed to death on July 27th, 2005 in his field near 11500 South and 2700 West in South Jordan. $1,000 is being offered by the Utah Animal Rights Coalition for information leading to the arrest of the person(s) responsible. Another $2,500 is being offered by the Humane Society. Neighborhood MapFor more information about the Interactive Animal Cruelty Maps, see the map notes.
