State police and the U.S. Forest Service are investigating the McCreary County dumping of what one witness said are about 80 dead dogs. Melissa Gilkerson, a board member of the nonprofit Kentucky Saving Them Together, said a property owner near the site in the Daniel Boone National Forest told them about the dumpings last summer. She and another person visited a few days before Christmas.
“There was seven, plus multiple skulls, bones and a couple of bags. So I did not open the bags because you could tell from the smell, and the bags themselves that those dogs had decomposed already.”
