Police are investigating after three dogs were shot in the head and left at a conservation area south of Clinton.

Huron County OPP say the dogs were discovered Saturday, in an area west of Exeter known locally as the Hay Swamp, by a group of rabbit hunters.

Two of the dogs were said to be mix-breed hounds, while the third was a purebred Walkerhound. All three were male.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
