SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Police in Puerto Rico said they rescued 170 animals from a home in a mountain town on Thursday and arrested their owner.
Among the animals rescued were turtles, donkeys, goats, sheep, various dog breeds and even an endangered Puerto Rican parrot, police said.
None of the animals discovered in the town of Gurabo had received veterinary treatment and some had to be hospitalized, according to authorities.
Their owner, a 70-year-old woman, was being held on a $27,000 bond.
