GAINESVILLE - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is offering a reward of up to $2,500 in the case of a dog that is recovering from gunshot wounds suffered after she got loose from her Lake Lanier home earlier this month.
The four-year-old black Labrador, named Macey, returned home several hours later with buckshot in her hip and hind leg. PETA's reward is for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the shooting.
"Animal abusers are cowards," says PETA Director Martin Mersereau. "They take their issues out on the most defenseless beings available to them. Area residents have good reason to be concerned. According to law-enforcement agencies and leading mental-health professionals, perpetrators of violent acts against animals are often repeat offenders who pose a serious threat to all animals-including humans."
PETA urges anyone with information about the case to contact the Hall County Sheriff's Office at 770-531-6885.
