Animal Control Officers Seize Sheep in Junkyard
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Animal control officers rescued 14 sheep from a muddy junkyard littered with broken glass and car parts.
Mike Garza, 73, owner of the Barbados black belly sheep, runs a wrecking company and has owned the property for 30 years. Garza was not present when his flock was seized, and said he was devastated by the news.
“I’ve had them for 15 years,” he said. “This may not have been the prettiest place for them to live, but they were taken care of.”
