HUNT COUNTY, Texas, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- A North Texas volunteer firefighter is being investigated after allegedly shooting two dogs who wandered onto his property and then posting a photo on Facebook.

Tim Conatser, the firefighter, posted a photo of two dogs apparently shot to death with the caption, "Somebody didn't put any truth my warning. Keep your damn dogs on your property."

Hunt County Constable Terry Jones said there is an investigation, but no one has claimed the dogs and no one has filed a complaint.

Conaster has received thousands of threats from around the world since he posted the photo.

The Hunt County fire department said they do not claim responsibility for what Conaster allegedly did.

"This is an individual that's a volunteer with our department," Union Valley Volunteer Fire Department's chief Edward Ragsdale said. "We can't be responsible for his actions when he's off duty."
