MONTCLAIR (KRON) — Authorities found more than 1,000 dead animals in an industrial complex in Montclair, California Friday morning.
Birds, fish and reptiles were among the dead animals.
According to the humane society, 2,000 live chickens, parakeets and dozens of fish were rescued from the warehouse.
