In the world of animal welfare, there are always battles to be fought on behalf of innocent creatures. One of our shelter partners, Little Wanderers NYC, has been fighting a battle for years to put an end to a horrific culture of abuse right in their own community in the Bronx.

Local Pit Bull breeders have been collecting stray cats and forcing their dogs to attack, rip and kill them for sport. The evidence is clear and all too heartbreaking. You can view the video posted on the Little Wanderers Instagram page, but we warn you it is very graphic and disturbing.

We stand by Little Wanderers NYC and encourage our supporters to do whatever they can to help stop this vicious cruelty once and for all! You can help by signing their petition calling for action or reaching out to the NYPD, local politicians, and media contacts below to have your voice heard!
