A work crew in Virginia illegally threw the body of a black bear that had been hit by a car off an overpass, the Animal Welfare League of Arlington said.
Residents of a quiet neighborhood in Arlington, Virginia, were both horrified and perplexed after a deceased black bear was found decomposing in a plastic bag along a local walking trail Friday night.
Animal control was dispatched to Spout Run Parkway near N. Adams Street about 8:30 p.m. They were called about what was believed to be a dead dog, but a deputy.
