Dead, Malnourished Animals Found In Feces-Filled Apartment

Dead Condor Bird, Dog, Turtle, Lizard, Other Animals In Home

A 24-year-old Central Florida man was arrested after a report of dog jumping from a second-story window led police to discover several dead or dying animals inside an apartment filled with feces.

Officers in Melbourne, Fla., were called to Greg Hynes' apartment Wednesday after a malnourished Rottweiler dog was spotted jumping from Hynes' second-story apartment window.

When investigators went inside, they found a dead Condor bird, lizard, turtle and dog in the apartment. Several other malnourished dogs and a malnourished albino Boa snake and a bird were also confiscated from the apartment, police said.

The apartment had "animal feces throughout," according to a report from authorities.

Hynes faces several counts of cruelty to animals. He was taken to the Brevard County Jail after his arrest.

All of the animals were taken by Brevard Animal Control officers. The living animals were taken to a shelter for medical treatment.
