Disgusting.
Two dogs assisting a Texas sheriff’s department were strangled to death by an illegal immigrant over the weekend after helping police chase more than a dozen others who jumped out of a truck during a traffic stop Saturday, according to local authorities.
Aransas County Sheriff Bill Mills said the two canines had been lent to the department by kennel owner Joe Braman in neighboring Refugio County, Texas. The dogs were trained to track people with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease who had gone missing, according to a statement issued Sunday.
“Sept. 1, 2018 in an area just north of Holiday Beach in Aransas County, two highly valued canines were destroyed by individuals believed to be in this country illegally,” Mills wrote on Facebook. “While most ‘Bail Outs’ end with detentions after exhaustive searches they do not show this level of aggressive behavior. Serving as a reminder to officers yesterday afternoon that while we are still dealing with individuals who may have questionable immigration status these encounters can turn just as violent as any domestic dispute we respond to.”
