Authorities Investigate Dolphin Killed By Arrow In Gulf Of Mexico (GeoBeats News)

WFLA.com Update: A $20,000 reward is now being offered. Clearwater Marine Aquarium is one of nine agencies that contributed money to the increased reward.

A $5,000 reward is being offered in the disturbing case of a dolphin that washed ashore dead with a hunting arrow protruding from its side.

NOAA scientists think the dolphin may have survived for at least five days before dying from a secondary infection caused by the wound. The dolphin was shot with a steel-tipped hunting arrow that had a yellow feather on it.

The Humane Society of the United States and the Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust are offering the reward with the hope it will lead to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.

...If you have information about the incident, call NOAA's Office of Law Enforcement in Niceville, FL, at (850) 729-8628 or the NOAA Enforcement Hotline at 1-800-853-1964 as soon as possible. Tips can be left anonymously.
