Members from the OPP’s East Algoma Detachment responded to an incident of animal cruelty off Red Rock Dam Road in the Iron Bridge area shortly after 4 p.m.

Police located a large metal cage covered with what appeared to be a white/green pool filter and a grey canvas tarp.

Under the tarp were carcasses of black and brown dogs. OPP said it was difficult to determine the number of puppies due to the severe deterioration of the dogs.

In a statement, OPP said its officers “did not observe any food or water bowls inside the cage. That would suggest whomever left puppies there, left them to suffer and die.”

Anyone with information regarding this animal cruelty incident is asked to contact the East Algoma OPP Detachment at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
