An Aylmer woman and her two grown children are in custody following a police raid on their home in which authorities found the bodies on nearly four dozen cats and dogs buried in the backyard.
The threesome -- a woman in her 60s and her daughter and son, both described as in their 40s -- have been charged with cruelty to animals, Gatineau police said Tuesday.
Executing a search warrant, police, accompanied by Gatineau firefighters and animal control staff, arrived at the family’s home at 22 Roméo-Gendron St., between Front Street and Eardley Road, at 10 a.m. In the yard, they uncovered the buried remains of 43 cats and dogs in garbage bags. Another cat and a dog were found alive inside the house.
The names of those arrested were not released, but police said they are familiar with the family and have been to the house numerous times. References |
