Reports of a “bad smell” coming from an Ontario home forced police to break in where they found several animals that were dead or in distress.
The OPP in Orillia say a neighbour on May 7 called to complain about the odour coming from a home on Carlton Street in the city’s south end.
Officers said repeated attempts to contact the residents of the home were met with no response which led them to force their way into the house.
