Animals Seized From Home in Riga
Acting on a tip, the Humane Society seized more than a hundred animals from a home in Riga Saturday following a search to see if the house was suitable to be lived in.

Monroe County Sheriff's deputies and the Humane Society found feces, dead rats, and neglected animals at 366 Malloch Road.

The Riga Building Inspector condemned the house. The Humane Society did remove three dogs and sixteen cats. Also seized were goats, chickens, ducks, and four horses from a barn.

All of the animals are at Lollypop Farm in Perinton.

Lollypop Farm said the home owner was hoarding the animals, some of which she had bred for show.
