[Brewster]

MACOMB, Ill. – Authorities say 41 small animals were found dead
inside a closed pet store in western Illinois where the electricity
had been disconnected.

Macomb Police Chief Curt Barker said Tuesday that police received a
complaint on Saturday about Macomb Pet Land, where officers faced an
overwhelming smell of dead animals and ammonia. The dead animals
included rabbits, hamsters, snakes and mice. No dogs or cats died.

Barker says 56 animals were found alive and placed in foster care.

He says the store's power was shut off May 14 for non-payment of
bills.

The store's owner faces charges of aggravated cruelty to animals.
Baker says she told police she had arranged for someone else to care
for the animals.

Macomb is about 60 miles (95 kilometers) west of Peoria.
