The Humane Society of the United States is offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for inflicting burns across the body of a small kitten in Stockbridge, Ga., on Halloween night.
The Case: News reports give the following account: An 8-week-old kitten was found wandering around the Waterford Place Apartments in Stockbridge on Halloween night, covered with burns. The kitten, now named Sweetie, was taken to the Alpharetta Animal Hospital for evaluation. The veterinarian believes the scars were likely caused by an acid burn, and that her fur will likely never grow back. Despite the horrible injuries, Sweetie is said to have a wonderful disposition and is being adopted out by the PeachState Pet Partners.
Animal Cruelty: Getting the serious attention of law enforcement, prosecutors and the community in cases involving allegations of cruelty to animals is an essential step in protecting the community. The connection between animal cruelty and human violence is well documented. Studies show a correlation between animal cruelty and all manner of other crimes, from narcotics and firearms violations to battery and sexual assault.
"Anyone capable of hurting a kitten like Sweetie can be dangerous to people," said Cheryl McAuliffe, The HSUS' Georgia state director. "Americans have no tolerance for violence against the creatures who share our world."
The Investigators: The Clayton County Police Department is investigating. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Capt. Mark Thomas at 770-477-3509.

The Humane Society of the United States Offers Reward in Decatur, Ga. Puppy Starving Case
The Humane Society of the United States is offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for starving a puppy named Little Bit in Decatur, Ga.
The Case:
Police and news reports give the following account: Two people dropped off a malnourished puppy at the Village Vets of Decatur Thursday night, prompting staffers to call DeKalb County Animal Control to investigate possible animal cruelty. The mixed-breed pit bull puppy was so emaciated that she couldn't stand or lift her head.
Video surveillance from the clinic showed a man and a woman getting out of a black SUV to drop off the puppy at the front lobby. The woman filled out paperwork indicating the dog is named Little Bit, but she provided false information, including the alias Tamika Howard. Veterinarians determined the dog was not ill or diseased, and detectives believe food was intentionally withheld from the 5-month-old puppy. Little Bit has gained a few pounds since her arrival at the clinic.
Animal Cruelty:
Getting the serious attention of law enforcement, prosecutors and the community in cases involving allegations of cruelty to animals is an essential step in protecting the community. The connection between animal cruelty and human violence is well documented. Studies show a correlation between animal cruelty and all manner of other crimes, from narcotics and firearms violations to battery and sexual assault.
"Those who abuse animals can be dangerous to people," said Cheryl McAuliffe, The HSUS' Georgia state director. "Americans have no tolerance for violence against the creatures who share our world."
The Investigators:
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the DeKalb County Police Department's Animal Cruelty Unit at 404-294-2645.

Reward Offered in Columbia County, Ga. Alligator Killing
The Humane Society of the United States and The Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust are offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for illegally killing an alligator in Columbia County, Ga. The alligator was found dead on private property behind Brown Feed and Seed on Washington Road in Evans, Ga. the morning of Monday, Aug. 24.
The Case:
According to the Department of Natural Resources, the animal was found with more than half of his body missing. His head was sawed off from his front legs forward, and his tail was severed from his body. The owner of Brown Feed and Seed explained to media sources that the alligator, called "Big Boy," was well-liked since he took up residence in the pond four years ago. The alligator reportedly weighed more than 200 pounds and was dragged out of the water before being killed.
"The callous poaching of this alligator is a serious crime and shows the disregard some individuals have of wildlife," said Cheryl McAuliffe, Georgia state director for The HSUS. "The HSUS applauds the Georgia Department of Natural Resources for thoroughly investigating this incident."
According to media reports, local CPA firm Hall, Hall & Associates is also offering a $500 reward for information and First Saturday Crew, a group that works on cleanup projects on the Augusta Canal, is offering $200 in restaurant gift certificates. With the $100 reward offered by Turn in Poachers for information on any wildlife taken out of season, this brings the total reward to $3,300.
If caught, the person or persons responsible could face a number of poaching charges, including trespassing, killing an animal out of season and possession of illegally taken wildlife. The person or persons could also face animal cruelty charges.
Poaching:
Every year, thousands of poachers are arrested nationwide; however, it is estimated that only 1 to 5 percent of poachers are caught. Poachers kill wildlife anytime, anywhere and sometimes do so in particularly cruel ways.
The Investigators:
Anyone with information about the case should call the Turn In Poachers 24-hour hot line at (800) 241-4113. Tips may remain anonymous.

The HSUS Offers Reward in Brooks County, Ga. Cat Burnings
The Humane Society of the United States is offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for burning three cats with fireworks in Brooks County, Ga. Other reward money has been offered.
The Case:
News reports give the following account: Three cats were found badly burned at a mobile home park off Soaring Heights Drive. A group of people attached firecrackers to the animals and set them on fire. One of the cats had to be euthanized due to the extent of his injuries. While another of the burned cats — Blackie — is expected to recover, the fate of another of the burned cats — Little Jim — remains uncertain. He was being treated at the University of Florida, where doctors said he'll need several skin grafts to get back on track. Donations have covered a small portion of his medical bills, but news reports have said bills could mount $15,000, and Little Jim might have to be euthanized before it reaches that point. Information on Little Jim's status may be found at brookssheriff.com.
