PETA Offers $2,000 Reward
A video apparently showing a girl throwing six newborn puppies into a river is sparking outrage online.
The video, which first appeared on YouTube, shows the hooded girl taking the squealing black-and-white puppies from a white bucket and throwing them, one by one, into a river.
One animal rights group has called on authorities to investigate a claim that the video was filmed in Bosnia.
Velimir Ivanisevic from the Association of Citizens for Prevention of Cruelty Against Animals SOS, said his group received an e-mail that allegedly identifies her as a teenager from the central Bosnian town of Bugojno.
Police in Bugojno said they are investigating the report.
Meanwhile, the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the people responsible for what they called a "heinous act."
"Animal abusers are cowards," PETA manager Martin Mersereau said in a news release announcing the reward. "They take their issues out on the most defenseless beings available to them."
