I will put out a more detailed release as soon as I have further info from Fred.

Thats terrible! I am as much a dog lover as anyone but in this instance I am afraid its time to go hunting
Those blues belong there, the dogs and cats do not!
And anyone found dumping animals there should be pressed into service and required to do manual labor in the park!

That is horrible news. Slugger is a very handsome specimen, is there any plans to remove the wild dogs? If cats are in the area too I imagine they might be as much of a problem in the future.

That is sad. They both look great and they get killed.

Just an fyi, I'm still awaiting formal news from Fred. Despite Sapphire and Slugger's terrible deaths, he still has to continue forth with the exhausting radio tracking in the Salina Reserve.
