The sheriff’s office and officers from the Arkansas Fish and Game Commission launched an investigation into the incident and, according to the Kansas City Star, a Clarksville, Arkansas resident was the focal point.
The investigation found that a local taxidermy and processing company paid the resident to properly dispose of the carcasses, but instead dumped them on private property.
