More than 100 live animals and nearly 100 dead ones were found on a Clyde Township property after St. Clair County Animal Control and the Sheriff’s Department launched a welfare check. Officials say ducks, chickens, and goats were living without proper food, water, or shelter. Interim Director Rachel Walch says too many people start small farms without realizing how much daily care livestock need. The animals were surrendered and are now getting medical attention as the investigation continues.
