Suffolk County SPCA officers found scores of dead and dying animals inside a filthy and condemned house in Shirley, N.Y., Tuesday evening, authorities said.



Officers and veterinarians were on the scene examining the animals. They found at least 70 animals alive, including ducks, rabbits, mice, pigeons, chinchillas, dogs, cats, goats, a pig, and a cow, authorities said. The animals were malnourished and filthy.

They also found at least a dozen animals dead.

SPCA officials said the house was piled high with debris and smelled like urine and feces. They did not find any food inside the house.

An elderly disabled woman lived inside the home with all the animals, authorities said. She could face animal cruelty charges.
