The elderly pit bull, named Star, suffered from a gaping chest wound and advanced-stage mammary cancer, raising concerns about animal cruelty and police response in Queens.
Rescuers noted Star was growling and in distress due to pain from her condition, highlighting the urgency for authorities to take animal cruelty cases more seriously.
City Council members expressed outrage over Star's abandonment, urging the NYPD to improve training and investigation procedures regarding animal cruelty cases.
Holden stated, 'It’s devastating and outrageous that someone would leave this poor dog tied to a tree,' stressing the need for accountability and justice.
