Quinn thinks the adult dogs were shelties, but because they were skinned it's hard to tell. Their bodies were sent to a veterinary pathologist who hopes to confirm the breed, along with the time and cause of death. Quinn notes there is a tie between cruelty to animals and human violence and "We need to find out who did this, we need to find out what's wrong." People have already begun calling the Humane Society, offering rewards to find out who could do something so torturous to animals. The reward for information leading to the person responsible for this crime is already up to 25-hundred dollars. An animal cruelty fund is also being set up at the Humane Society.

If you have any information you are asked to call CrimeStoppers at 367-7007 or the Humane Society at 338-4441. In either case, your call can remain anonymous.
