GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — The Merrick County Sheriff’s Department says that it is seeking information about 150 to 200 dead geese illegally dumped in a ditch.

A deputy was alerted by a citizen about the geese Monday afternoon. Sheriff John Westman said the geese were found about 2 miles east of Gunbarrel Road and had not been cleaned.

Westman says the animals were disposed of sometime between 6:30 p.m. Sunday and 1 p.m. Monday.

Authorities say there are no suspects in the case at this time and the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has been contacted.
