Mohave County deputies and animal control officers found the animals in a garage freezer April 3 after a woman reported that Michael Patrick Turland, 43, hadn’t returned snakes she’d lent him for breeding, the Sheriff’s Office said Thursday in a statement. The freezer was at a home where Turland previously lived in Golden Valley, a rural community in far western Arizona.

The frozen animals included dogs, turtles, lizards, birds, snakes, mice, rats, and rabbits, the statement said. “Several of the animals appeared to have been frozen alive due to their body positioning."

The home's owner reportedly discovered the frozen animals while cleaning after Turland and his wife vacated the property. The owner then contacted the woman who notified the sheriff's office, the statement said.

Turland was arrested at the home Wednesday when deputies were told he had returned to the property, the office said.

“When interviewed, Turland eventually admitted to placing some of the animals in the freezer when they were still alive," the statement said.

Looks like an old man's nutsack under his mush.
Lock him in a freezer and forget about him.

Around 200 animals – many of them starving and dehydrated – were recently seized from a Northern Michigan property after the owner’s fiancé was charged with 94 counts of felony animal cruelty in Arizona, WPBN/WGTU reports.

Horses, dogs, rabbits, snakes and other reptiles were seized from the Antrim County home of Brooklyn Beck, of Central Lake, the report said. Dead animals were also found in a freezer. Beck is charged with first-degree killing/torturing animals. Her next court hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, May 18.

A lot of the animals were starving, said Antrim County Animal Control officer Heather Belknap. Most of the reptiles were cold, dehydrated and underweight.

“We had to actually soak the reptiles in water so they could absorb the moisture to help them be able to eat, and it took a few days for several of them to actually be able to eat,” she said.

The animals are in the care of Antrim County Animal Control, the report said.

Beck’s fiancé, Michael Patrick Turland, 43, of Central Lake, is charged with 94 counts of felony animal cruelty in Arizona after sheriff’s deputies responded to a request for an animal welfare check in April. They found 183 dead dogs, turtles, lizards, birds, snakes, mice, rats and rabbits in a freezer. It appears that some of them were still alive when they were put in the freezer, police said.
