LA TimesA group of hikers found a German shepherd on July 3 with zip-ties around its neck and snout. An animal protection group is offering a $25,000 reward for help identifying whoever zip-tied a German shepherd’s mouth shut before abandoning him in the Malibu wilderness. “We do know that we’re going to make that time as comfortable as possible for him.” “If the person who did this to the dog was of sound mind,” she added, “they would have been aware that they were sentencing him to death.” California Abandoned German shepherd found in Malibu with mouth zip-tied shut On July 3, two hikers found a dog near Malibu Creek Canyon with a zip tie around his mouth and another around his neck. One of the rock climbers who found the dog, and wishes to remain anonymous, said Argon appeared to be injured and required help getting to the animal control officers who responded to the scene. Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control Director Marcia Mayeda called the circumstances in Argon’s case “horrific, and an affront to human decency and our role as responsible stewards to our pets.” “We are certain he will get the love and care he has always deserved for the rest of his days,” Mayeda said.
