He is heard saying:
“I’ve seen a lot of things here in my travels… Right now, as I’m walking I’m seeing these things laying in a heap and I’m wondering, ‘What the hell is that?'”
Although he initially thought the heap consisted of trash or old clothes, the man soon realized it was four dead chihuahuas.
“Who would do something like this?… To me it’s devastating.”
According to Giles Gilmer, the supervisor of Laurens County Animal Control, the chihuahuas were shot in the head and had been dead for around 10 to 12 hours.
After calling 911, Fortin walked further and found the carcasses of two larger dogs and a second pile of dead chihuahuas, according to WYFF4.
A total of 15 deceased dogs were found that morning.
In a press release obtained by People, the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating the situation.
