Three men charged in Norman animal cruelty case
By Perris Jones
NORMAN, Oklahoma (KOCO) Three men have been charged in an animal cruelty case out of Norman.
Hundreds of exotic animals, including kangaroos, camels and ostriches, were found severely malnourished – some to the point of eating the bark off trees.
In late April, authorities removed more than 350 animals from the East Norman property while executing a search warrant.
Police said most of the animals were deprived of food and water and lived in deplorable conditions.
“We’re talking about animals as small as cockatoos, various bird species and reptiles, all the way up to camels,” Norman Police spokeswoman Sarah Jensen said. “Investigators began to notice reoccurring trends with all of these animals that they were extremely malnourished a lot of them were dehydrated they didn’t have access to water that wasn’t covered in mold.”
