According to local media outlet Fox 13 Salt Lake City, two hikers found the male Landseers on the morning of Feb. 23. Police then reportedly took the canines to the shelter.

“We have minimal information on who left them. No colIars or microchips," Hurricane Animal Shelter wrote in their caption of the dogs. "If anyone knows additional information that could be helpful in this case, please contact us at 435-635-8314.”

This is brutal.

Here's what people are saying about it:

"What's sad is how normalized and common this type of stuff used to be.

You see it in TV shows too, remember the old tom and jerry cartoon where they find a bag of kittens in the river?

Didn't realize what that was about until I was an adult."

"May the human or humans that did this, find themselves abandoned in a deep well. No excuse for this. They could have taken them to a shelter."

u/pickles_mcbeef said:

"My dad used to work in remote areas for his job and brought abandoned animals home multiple times when I was a kid, including three puppies in a completely tied up garbage sack. People suck so much."

What are your thoughts? Have you ever ran into anything like this in the desert?
