The man who is wearing a hat and standing between the two police officers was sent home for jeopardising the safety of a litter of puppies. The scene took place across from
Bloomingdales at Lexington Ave. and 60
th street. I have seen this man who will stand outside with a pit bull,
guinea pig, cat, another dog and in this case a litter of puppies. He ties the pit bull up on a very short chain to the lamp post. If you look carefully you can see the dog on the left side of the top photo. The bottom two photos show the puppies in a box. They had nothing to eat or drink. The officers did not arrest the man, but rather sent him home. This abuse is terrible. The same man does it all of the time when he stands outside all day with his animals. He has been reported numerous times, and keeps coming back with his hat on the ground for donation.
