GOLDEN VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) — An Arizona man was arrested after authorities say 183 useless animals have been discovered in a freezer.
The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office says deputies and animal management officers discovered the animals in a storage freezer on April 3 after a girl reported that 43-year-old Michael Patrick Turland hadn’t returned the snakes she’d lent him for breeding.
Authorities say the frozen animals included canine, turtles, lizards, birds, snakes, mice, rats, and rabbits.
The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office says Turland admitted to freezing to putting some of the animals in the freezer after they have been nonetheless alive.
It’s unclear why he was freezing the animals.
Turland faces animal cruelty expenses.
