” These felines were severely mutilated, these cats were tortured by some methods,” Jed Painter of the Nassau County District Attorney’s Animal Crimes Unit told WABC-TV “We had numerous damaged bones. In fact, among the animals, practically each and every single bone in the body was broken.”
The animals reportedly did not belong to Visconti and it is unclear where they originated from.
Visconti’s neighbor’s discovered the deaths when cops officers were knocking on doors, asking citizens if they were missing their felines, according to the station, which included that homeowners also got a letter informing them about the troubling discovery.
” This individual needs assistance. That’s terrible that something so innocent that does not understand what’s occurring to do that, that’s the worst thing I can think about,” one next-door neighbor, who is a feline owner, reportedly stated.
