Over 100 dead dogs found in mass grave at animal rescue center
Dozens of dead animals were discovered after a large-scale excavation into the whereabouts of over 700 missing dogs by law enforcement took place in Northern California this week.
Investigators from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) served a secondary search warrant Tuesday authorizing them to dig up the property of an animal rescue center after an ongoing animal cruelty and fraud investigation.
“During the excavation, investigators recovered 117 intact canine remains from two dig sites. An additional 21 canine skulls, hundreds of bones, and six loose microchips were located in another dig location near where the intact animals were discovered,” HCSO said.
On the first day, they used ground-penetrating radar to find any potential burial sites and later uncovered a dead horse and a dog-sized animal.
Over Wednesday and Thursday, the team discovered multiple dead dogs with many carrying gunshot wounds.
