Dozens of dog carcasses found near Frederick

Animal Control officers in Frederick County are investigating more than 70 dog and cat carcasses that were found in a wooded area off state Route 28 near Point of Rocks.

A man looking for mushrooms and a place to hunt Tuesday found the bodies, according to a report on TV station WJLA's website.

Frederick County Animal Control Division Director Harold Domer says it's not clear if the 70 to 72 dogs and two or three cats had been euthanized.

Investigators believe the bodies could have been placed in the area for about two months and might have accumulated over a period of time.

Does PETA have a branch office nearby? And yes, I'm serious.

There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean.
