WILLIAMSBURG, Ky. (AP) -- A police spokesman says abandoned dogs, cats, roosters, chickens and ducks have been removed from a filthy eastern Kentucky home.
Williamsburg police spokesman Shawn Jackson tells The Times-Tribune most of the animals were found in the backyard of a house where officials had received complaints.
Jackson says when law enforcement and animal control officials visited the house Thursday, they found deplorable conditions and animals that appeared to not have been fed in a while.
He says at least one dog was found in a cage filled with feces, a bowl of black, stagnant water and a chicken carcass. He says several cats were found inside a small house filled with rotted food, cat urine and feces.
An investigation is ongoing.
