Today several piles of skinned foxes were found today off of Seth Green Dr. near Seneca Park. This was along the (Carthage) trail leading to Norton's Falls and the Genesee River.
I'll post a link to a news story as soon as the news reports on it.

A gruesome discovery Sunday on the city's north side and warning, this story is disturbing.

Three large piles of dead fox were found on a path near Seth Green Drive.

A Henrietta couple came across the remains while hiking and thought they were dogs.

The images are so horrific we cannot show them.

We can tell you it appears the fox have been skinned.

Sunday night, the Humane Society came out and said it looks like a case of poaching.

The Department of Environmental Conservation has been notified.
