Caltrans Cares So Much, They'll Bury Fido For You

CBS5 recently uncovered Caltrans secret pet cemetery -- somewhere along eerie Highway 9 in the Santa Cruz mountains -- where they simply bag, tag, and toss little fluffy over a cliff. Gross. Caltrans, it seems, is supposed to notify the pets' owners or take them to local pounds or an SPCA. But don't.

The best part of Anna Werner's investigation, though, is the discovery of pet remains stuffed into orange trash bags labeled with the Caltrans slogan, "Care for California." Aw. Thanks, Caltrans, for caring enough to toss my best friend over a cliff!

Also, are that many pets found that they need a secret burial spot?

Read (and see!) more about it here.
