Another case of animal cruelty is reported in the Tampa Bay area. Three puppies were "mercilessly" thrown out of a moving car in North Tampa and one of them did not survive, according to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. The incident reportedly took place Wednesday night on a dead-end road off Bearss Avenue and Fisher Drive. Staff brought the puppies to the shelter Thursday morning after a neighbor alerted the team. "This disregard for the life of vulnerable beings is not acceptable and is, in fact, illegal," the organization wrote. A $10,000 reward is being offered in hopes of finding the person responsible. Hollywood star Dave Bautista donated $5,000 to the reward fund. In an Instagram comment, the former WWE wrestler wrote in part, "This makes me sick to my stomach. And when it happens in my own community, I can’t help but take it personally." One of the puppies, who staff named Paolo, did not survive after reportedly being struck by a driver.
