A Facebook post with an image of two dead dogs allegedly shot by a Texas fireman has caused a viral uproar on the social network.
Tim Conatser, a volunteer firefighter with Union Valley Fire Department in Royse City, Texas, posted an image on Facebook of two dead dogs.
Facebook user Kimberly Jones uploaded a screenshot of the post, which has been shared more than 62,000 times in less than a day.
The fire department shared this message earlier Wednesday:
As previously stated, we do not condone the recent actions of one of our firefighters. We are following our policy in removing him from our department. This is now a civil/criminal matter that we have no jurisdiction over. Please forward all concerns to local law enforcement and/or the SPCA.
So far the owner of the dogs has not come forward publicly.
The Hunt County Herald Banner reported an investigation is under way, with Hunt County Sheriff Randy Meeks taking the report of the incident and Constable Terry Jones will conduct the investigation.
The SPCA is also working with authorities in the investigation.
