This is the second disturbing animal cruelty incident in the county in less than a week. A skinned and cooked dog was recently discovered about 20 miles away in Lynn Township.

What the hell difference does it make if these puppies were wild or domestic? Whoever did this is sick in the head, not hungry, and perhaps should meet the same fate as their completely defenseless victims.; Reply to this comment
