VINELAND – Investigators are searching for the person responsible for seven dead puppies discovered discarded along a Route 55 entrance ramp.
A driver spotted the pups just off Sherman Avenue on Wednesday and alerted the Cumberland County Sherriff’s Department.
Officers responded the the area and found seven multi-colored puppies dead along the south-bound entrance ramp.
“Someone in the community is aware that an individual had a litter of puppies that suddenly disappeared,” Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae said in statement released Friday.
“We are asking the public to give us information that will lead to identification of the person responsible for discarding these puppies in this irresponsible manner,” Webb-McRae said.
If you are asking yourself in disbelief, who would dump seven dead puppies on the side of the road, law enforcement officials in Cumberland County are, too.
Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae says on Wednesday morning at about 9:45, a motorist notified the Cumberland County Sherriff’s Department of dead puppies on an entrance ramp to southbound Route 55 off of Sherman Avenue in Vineland.
Cops located seven dead multi-colored puppies along the ramp. The City of Vineland Animal Control Department says they were three to four weeks old.
Investigators believe that the person(s) responsible would have traveled east towards Vineland on Sherman Avenue and entered the Route 55 southbound entrance where the puppies were located.
