Steven Cable Jr. is facing charges of animal cruelty and reckless endangerment.
Brighton Township Police say some public works employees found the bodies of the two older Labrador Retrievers, one black and the other yellow, near a park shelter on Nov. 3. Each dog was still wearing a collar when they were found.
According to the criminal complaint, the owner of the two dogs told investigators he had paid Cable $100 last month to humanely put the dogs down.
The owner, the criminal complaint reports, told police that Cable offered to take the dogs “out to his farm” and said he would “give the dogs tranquilizers to put them to sleep and would bury then with his tractor.”
Cable allegedly also told the owner that he had humanely euthanized animals before, the criminal complaint reports.
Police say x-rays showed the dogs had been shot with .22 caliber bullets.

What, is it going to be illegal now for farmers to shoot animals to put them down? What about horses, cows and sheep and wild animals like deer?
