It's almost impossible to hate the energy filled pups we spend our days with, which is what makes the trouble in Tucson even more confusing.

Starting in January, 2025, Tucson began to experience something bewildering. Animals across thee city were dropping dead, of no apparent cause. Not only are they dying, they're all dying in the exact same place.

These have all taken place at the Pantano Wash between Houghton and Old Spanish Trail, with 51 coyotes, 4 javelinas, 3 domestic dogs and 1 raven being taken victim so far. Even more are expected to follow if nothing can be done. Luckily, the state of Arizona is not taking this lightly whatsoever.

It's believed that this is all an accident, likely caused by someone using poisons for their pest control outside of their property, but police are not counting out criminal involvement. We're hoping this case is cracked soon, because the numbers have just been rising since January, and there seems to be no end.
