It sounded like the cries of a child coming from inside a parked van.

But Miami police say what they discovered were eight roosters, four guinea hens, four pigeons, four goats and one duck in distress inside a van left behind by two men in the parking lot of Northwest 37th Avenue and 7th Street Monday afternoon.

Porn star Raul Armenteros, 46, best known as Ramon from the web porn "reality show" Bang Bus, along with friend James Arroyo Jr.,44, were arrested when they showed up at the van 45 minutes later on 22 counts of animal cruelty.

Inside, police found four goats "tied up inside plastic bags" with one of the goats dead.

Instead, police arrested the two men and both were held in Miami-Dade County Jail on $110,000 bond each.

"All the animals in the van appeared to be in distress and lacking of water," police wrote in their report.

Animal control responded and recovered the animals.
