Another animal poisoning has been reported in Forest county.
The DNR and U.S. Fish and Wildlife service again ask for the public's help in locating the persons involved with the most recent incident.
Investigators report the April 1 death of a domestic dog being walked on a leash on land open to the public.
A DNR spokesperson reports authorities think this animal death and other recent deaths in the region could be related.
The 3-year-old German Shepherd was being walked on a leash on land open to the public in northern Forest County. Poison is believed to be among the possible causes of the death pending lab test results.
Owners of the dog reported seeing a few dead ravens near the site. The public is advised to use dog leashes and watch for signs– such as dead wildlife – that poison may be in the area. Several domestic dog deaths have occurred in Forest, Marinette and Florence counties.
While the investigation is focused on the three counties, it is unknown if other counties could be involved. Investigators also found dead raptors, coyotes, weasels, raccoons and wolves. Lab tests have confirmed the presence of dangerous toxic substances as the cause of death.
You're asked to contact the DNR tipline(800-847-9367) or the DNR website to report any information.
