Japanese police have launched a criminal investigation after
the bodies of around 40 dogs were found dumped by a river in the east of the
country, officials said today.
A passer-by reported finding the dogs, most of which were
small breeds and had not been dead long, in Sakura City.
“Some dogs were in the water and others were scattered
around the area,” a local police spokesman said, adding that some of the
animals were wearing pet clothing. The police have yet to determine who dumped the animals.
Jiji Press news agency said the police suspect an animal
undertaker may have dumped the dogs but authorities only said they were
“looking into various possibilities.
