"A humane society official said Monday that dozens of dogs were fed hotdogs laced with sleeping pills then shot to death in rural northern Arkansas.

Searcy County Humane Society Treasurer Jean Passmore said a couple of loggers were looking at the uninhabited timber land Thursday near Arkansas Highway 254 in rural Searcy County, about 100 miles north of Little Rock, when they came across the bodies of some of the dogs. The loggers called an officer with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission who they knew and he called the Searcy County Humane Society."
 
Have any articles mentioned what breed? I'm asking because I have a friend of a friend who had 40 huskies stolen from one of the carolinas.

This is in the article I linked:

"She said the dogs were mixed breeds, but the officer from Game and Fish told her that it appeared there were several sets of litter mates that were about the same age and looked to be similar breeds."

Makes me wonder if someone who was a "rescuer" got overwhelmed? Or maybe a breeder just got things all wrong and overwhelmed?

Seems like it could be a "sleuthable" case, especially if anyone is in that area.

I'll see if I can find updates.

They really need to have stiffer penalties for sick monsters that commit these types of crimes. I think the FBI should be called in to handle this investigation.
