Star, the abandoned Pitbull’s heartbreaking story ignites outcry and push for animal cruelty reforms

The Paul A. Vallone Queens Animal Care Center (ACC) euthanized an abandoned pitbull Tuesday afternoon after it was discovered that the approximately eight-year-old dog was suffering from advanced Stage 4 mammary cancer. 

Star was found tied to a tree with severe open chest wounds near The Shops at Atlas Park in Glendale early Tuesday morning.  Marilyn Kativjo, who works at the Shops At Atlas Mall and a local cat rescue, said she found Star around 9:15 a.m.  

Kativjo said it was heartbreaking to find Star shivering and in pain. “I saw she was bleeding and very raw, and she couldn’t even stand up. We had to cover her with blankets and give her some food. She was in bad condition; it looked like she had puppies recently,” Kativjo said. Star had a significant infection from the harness, which had to be cut off as it was embedded into her skin.
