YAZOO COUNTY, Mississippi (WAPT) — The Yazoo County Sheriff’s Department is investigating after 207 snow geese were shot to death and left in dumpsters.
Officials called the act both unlawful and unethical, saying an off-duty deputy recorded someone dumping the dead birds.
“We have your information and an off-duty deputy was able to record you dumping. We will be in contact very soon,” the statement read.
Sheriff Jeremy McCoy said state and federal agencies are investigating. Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the Yazoo County Sheriff’s Department.
