“These troubling acts are being taken very seriously,” the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department stated in a news release Tuesday.

The Sheriff’s Department is assisting California Department of Fish and Wildlife officials and the Riverside County Department of Animal Services in efforts to locate any other injured animals so they can receive veterinary care.
