When police and animal control officers are finished with charges against the owners/homeowners involved in the abuse of animals and the seizure of the maltreated dogs, cats, and farm animals, the case is closed. That is, unless you happen to be one of the seized animals, often starved near death, coated with assorted vermin and diseases and all too often neglected from good human contact.

When police and Wayne County Animal Control officers found dead and dying animals in a January 2010 raid in a trailer home on Ridge Road in the Town of Huron, they were faced with how to deal with the sudden rush of animals to local shelters.

It was determined that one of two horses found on the property were emaciated. In one of the barns on the property, a dead goat and a dead duck were located.
