Target: Macon County Sheriff Jim Root
Goal: Find person responsible for deceased emaciated dog who was dumped in ditch.
The images of a severely emaciated deceased dog caged in its crate and dumped in a ditch are shocking. Authorities were called out to Sawyer Road in Decatur, Illinois when they received reports of this horrific crime scene.
Upon arrival at the scene, agents from the Macon County Animal Control and Care Center were greeted with a truly tragic scene. A brindled larger breed dog (as of yet, unidentified) was found severely emaciated and malnourished. The poor animal was found dead and locked up it a crate, tossed on its side in a ditch.
Officials have not yet determined the dog’s cause of death or the owner’s identity.
