BUNCOMBE COUNTY, N.C. — A group of abandoned animals was found locked in cages on the side of a North Carolina road, according to police.
The Black Mountain Police Department says the animals were left off Dunsmore Avenue late Tuesday or early Wednesday, according to a post on its Facebook page. Police posted photos of two cages sitting on the side of the road, each with multiple animals crammed inside.
One photo shows three dogs sharing one crate and what appears to be a rabbit in a cage with other dogs.
Police didn’t provide information on the conditions of the animals or whether they would be available for adoption.
Anyone with information on who abandoned the animals was asked to contact Buncombe County Animal Control.
