The Washington Humane Society spread the word this afternoon that they are offering a $1,000 reward for information which leads to an arrest in two heinous animal murders. In the first case, an opossum and her ten babies were stoned to death in an alley behind 1026 16th Street NE; one month later, a cat was similarly found stoned on the 200 block of Maryland Avenue NE. (We’ll spare you the horrifying image of the cat that the WHS included in its email to various police listservs. Ugh.) Residents of D.C. can call 202-BE-HUMANE, 24 hours a day, to report any animal cruelty or neglect, regardless of whether its related to these crimes or not.
