We recieved this picture in an e-mail plea for this young victim of a home crop job. "Monique" was discovered by an animal control officer investigating a complaint at a house in east los angeles. He had stumbled upon an illegal pit bull breeding operation, and found 8 week old Monique with her ears cut.
The sad reality of these home-bred pit bull puppies is that they often become the victims of home ear crop jobs, where the dog is physically held down, and the ears are cut with a knife, box cutter or scissors, without anesthesia.
We choose to show you these pictures not for shock value, but to increase awareness of the plight of pit-bulls in our very own neighborhoods. In my research on laws against animal cruelty, I came across Los Angeles County Animal Law Ordinances here. As I go down this list, I can think of many situations where I have witnessed, or have heard first hand accounts of violations of these ordinances. Please educate yourself and read your local Animal Law Ordinances. If you see something, say something!
To find out the happy ending to Monique's story, watch her video here.
