Hundreds of Dead Animals Found in Filthy Spanish Warehouse
11 Oct
Summary
- Police arrest suspect for illegal animal breeding site
- 250 dead animals, mostly dogs, found in "extremely poor" conditions
- 171 other animals, including exotic birds, rescued in life-threatening state
On October 9th, 2025, Spanish police made a grim discovery at an illegal animal breeding site in the northwestern village of Meson do Vento. Authorities arrested the site manager on charges of animal abuse, illegal possession of protected species, and unqualified veterinary practice.
The police found a total of 250 dead animals, mostly dogs, in the filthy warehouse. The deceased creatures were "in different stages of decomposition, some even mummified," according to the Civil Guard. The conditions at the site were described as "extremely poor," with cages "totally covered in excrement."
In addition to the tragic loss of life, the police also rescued 171 other animals, including exotic and protected bird species such as macaws and cockatoos. These survivors were found in a life-threatening condition, as they had been forced to feed off the dead animals due to the lack of food and water.
The discovery of this horrific "breeding ground of horror" has sent shockwaves through the local community and sparked outrage over the blatant disregard for animal welfare. Authorities are now working to ensure the rescued animals receive the care and rehabilitation they desperately need.
