Arkansas horror: 57 dogs found shot and poisoned to death

There's a video at the link, it's just horrendous to see.

Arkansas authorities search for depraved killers who gunned down 57 dogs in remote wooded area

Police in Searcy, Arkansas are looking for the person — or persons — who killed 57 dogs in a remote wooded area using guns and poison, KY3 is reporting.

Authorities say that two workers from a local lumber mill were scouting in the area looking for timber stands when they stumbled upon the killing ground, littered with dozens of dead dogs.

According to John Magruder, shelter manager for the Searcy County Humane Society, it was a horrific sight.

“I don’t really have any words for what it makes me feel like,” Magruder said, his voice cracking as he searched for survivors. “I’ve worked with dogs all my life and I love them a whole bunch and I just don’t deal well with this, but I’m doing my best so I can save the ones I can.”

I have known guys with sled dogs that got way too many so they just shot them like 50 at a time.

Assholes.

and others in rural areas. This is so sad.

Dogs and cats are inextricably linked to humans, having bonded with us for fundamental and mutual support at different times and for different reasons. Someone is really screwed up and a threat to other humans and animals, too.
