More than 100 neglected animals rescued from home in southern California

Animal services officials in southern California have rescued more than 100 neglected animals including dogs, horses, birds and pet cockroaches from a home in Riverside county.

Riverside county officials served a search warrant on Wednesday at a property that was discovered following the Nixon fire that burned more than 5,200 acres (2,100 hectares) in July, according to a statement released on Thursday.

Additionally, officials said the horses were in poor condition at the property, which is located approximately 20 miles (30km) from Temecula, a suburban city that is part of the greater Los Angeles area.

Chickens, exotic birds including parakeets and cockatiels, and mice, as well as pet cockroaches, were also discovered at the property.

The Guardian has contacted Riverside county animal services for comment.
