Laramie County Sheriff’s Deputies are reminding residents that it is illegal to deposit or place dead animals into rivers, ditches, railroad rights-of-way, highways, or public grounds.
Cheyenne Animal Control has responded six times since April to South Greeley Highway and East Nation Road, with additional reports dating back to 2022, to pick up wildlife carcasses that appear to have been deliberately placed at this location.
One incident involved two raccoons and a skunk, found neatly arranged side by side. All carcasses have been found fully intact, with no signs of injury or blood trails, indicating that they were purposefully left at this specific location. This is a pattern that has caught the attention of both Cheyenne Animal Control and local residents.
Sheriff’s Deputies and Animal Control remind residents who live or travel near South Greeley Highway and East Nation Road to report any suspicious activity in the area.
