In a disturbing incident in New York City, a woman is now facing animal cruelty charges after attempting to sell puppies confined in a hot bag on a street corner. The incident unfolded when NYPD officers from the 101 Precinct field training unit were on duty at Beach Channel Drive and Horton Avenue in Queens around 7 p.m.
According to officers at the scene, they observed a woman trying to sell a puppy to another individual. When the prospective buyer inquired about more puppies for sale, the seller produced a sack containing additional dogs. Concerned about the well-being of the animals, the officers intervened and took possession of the sack.
