CROWN POINT, Ind. — — Prosecutors have asked Indiana State Police to investigate the recent deaths of at least eight dogs from heat-related injuries while being transported in the back of an uncooled box truck.
The animal rights group People for Ethical Treatment of Animals had called for a state police investigation, and the Lake County Prosecutor’s Office formally requested one Wednesday.The driver, whom police have not named, said he was unaware that the air conditioning in the cargo area of the truck had failed until he heard dogs barking. He pulled off Interstate 94 at a convenience store and gas station in Lake Station. When he opened the back, he found several dogs dead and others suffering.
“There were already several dogs dead on the scene, and multiple failing fast," Webber said at the time. “Their crates inside the truck were completely trashed on the inside, and the little water bowls were the size you'd give a parrot. And they were empty and torn up as if the dogs were exasperated.”
