As a photojournalist, my job is to observe and document what is happening where I may be at the time of a given event. I have witnessed more than my share of things that I would rather choose not have seen but that is my profession. But, my job is also to give a voice to those whom may not or can not on their own. I have always yearned to tell the visual story of those that are not able. I have done my best to do so. The recent finding of pit bull carcasses in McCracken County and the dogs signed over the the Mayfield-Graves County Animal Shelter have led me to give a visual perspective of what was at the east fork of the Clarks River. I do have a heart, and I do not understand how someone can do shoot a dog and dump the body off of a bridge in a public waterway in a federal wildlife refuge, but as I said my job is to document and not judge. I try to stay neutral and document history but this was disturbing. Here is what I saw on Thursday that could not be published in The Paducah Sun because of their graphic content. You be the judge.
