A group of men lit a garbage bag filled with four dogs on fire, left it to burn near a Dumpster in Brooklyn, then fled in a vehicle, authorities and neighbors said.

Workers at a beverage distribution warehouse on East 91st Street in Canarsie made the grisly discovery early Saturday morning, finding what looked like an adult pit bull and three puppies inside the burnt garbage bag.

"Why do this? There are plenty of places to take a dog in this area," said Sammy Omar, one of the workers who was upset after seeing the dogs' remains.
