Veterinarian charged after carcasses found
Posted at the Times Leader A veterinarian suspected of illegally dumping animal carcasses was arrested Monday morning on charges of deceiving and stealing from his clients, authorities said. Dr. John Lopatofsky, 78, was taken into custody four days after garbage-truck workers discovered two dogs inside bloody trash bags in a Dumpster on Allen Street, police said.
From what I understand Dr. Lopatofsky was working as a veterinarian for more than 50 years, one can only hope that he did not do this to other pet owners that requested the same services over that period of time. And it's a terrible shame for something like this to happen so late is his career... for all the good that he has done he will more than likely be remembered for this.
