(AP) FALLBROOK, Calif. - Animal services officials are seeking a suspect who tied five puppies to a tree under an active beehive in San Diego County. Three of the dogs were found dead and two were critically injured.
County spokeswoman Tracy DeFore says firefighters discovered a gruesome scene when responding to a suspicious fire in a Fallbrook field Thursday at about noon.
Approximately 25 feet from the fire, the puppies were found under a tree, bound to its trunk.
Two 5-month-old Jack Russell Terriers died from strangulation, most likely a result of their desperate attempts to escape the swarm of bees.
A five-month-old Rottweiler died from unknown causes.
Two more puppies were stung dozens of times and have been receiving around-the-clock care.
Investigators are seeking witnesses who can describe the person who left them.

Fallbrook, California...I'd be extra vigilant if I were you, there's obviously a very demented sicko in your midst.
God won't let this stand. A just and loving God who created all animals and humans can't let this stand. This kind of evil can have only one reply....justice.
A full and exacting recompence awaits to be executed against whosoever is directly responsible for this....all in God's time....and His way...and let me assure you, the punishment will match the crime.
"Be not decieved, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows, THAT shall he also reap" and just because God's word is not believed won't change the fact that God's justice will be carried out regardless.
