(Kent County, December 8, 2004, 5:12 p.m.) A $2,500 reward is being
offered to help find the person who police say trapped and killed a
dog in a Lowell park.
It happened November 10 near where the Flat River and Grand River
meet.
A Brittany Spaniel was walking with its owner when it walked into
an animal trap and died.
City law prohibits trapping on city property.
Police did trace the serial number on the trap to a Mecosta County
man who says he sold it several years ago in a garage sale.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is now offering
the reward for information leading to an arrest.
