(Yuma, AZ) The Humane Society of Yuma and local law enforcement are seeking information regarding a dog found dead with a stab wound. Certain details of the case are being withheld due to an ongoing investigation.
On the morning of July 24th, HSOY received a report of a dead dog on the grounds of a local area school. The responding officer observed what appeared to be a laceration around the
dog’s mouth. The officer collected evidence before leaving the scene.
A local veterinarian examined the dog and confirmed that the dog had been stabbed. The examining veterinarian believed that the dog’s death was caused by the injury.
“This type of heinous cruelty should be of special concern to the community,” said HSOY Director of Operations, Annette Lagunas. “The connection between animal cruelty and human
