Three freshmen in the Corps of Cadets now face criminal charges after allegedly leaving a dead dog on A&M’s band practice field, according to an article by KBTX.
According to KBTX, a dead dog was found on Joe T. Haney Drill Field on the morning of March 7. A Corps lieutenant identified the perpetrators as Atticus Johnson, Garret Kale and Sterling Hampe, according to KBTX. The 18-year-old students claimed the dog was dead when they found it and that they only placed it on the field.
According to KBTX, the dog was covered in blood and “bodily fluids” and was dressed in a Texas A&M baseball cap typically given to Corps freshman. The dog was also propped on several pieces of firewood.
The freshmen were charged with illegal dumping and will avoid animal cruelty charges. The Corps of Cadets has declined to comment, according to KBTX.
