Deputy fatally shoots 7 starving, abandoned dogs
Arriving at a rural property, an #Arizona #sheriff’s deputy approaches a group of starving dogs behind a fence. Some are sleeping, others bark & wag their tails. The deputy lays out food & water to corral them, body-cam video shows.
The deputy then pulls out a gun & shoots them 1 by 1, killing 7, before dragging their bloodied bodies to his truck. He later dumped the bodies near RR tracks.
