A peaceful morning walk along the South River Trail in DeKalb County turned into a disturbing discovery for a local resident who says he found dozens of dead animals dumped in a wooded area. Adam Laverack said he was walking the trail Saturday morning near Cottonwood Drive and Fargo Place when he initially thought he had spotted two dead dogs. “There was a pile of what I thought were two dogs here,” Laverack said. “It turned out that it was three baby goats, a bunch of chickens, and pigeons.” According to DeKalb Animal Enforcement Services, investigators found 28 pigeons, three goats, two chickens and one duck discarded in the woods. Laverack said the goats had their hooves tied and secured with duct tape. #southrivertrail #dekalbcounty #news #animals #bizarre
