Couple Charged After Animal, Human Remains Found

In Canton, Ohio, a couple, including Billy Jack Park, 45, is facing multiple charges after authorities discovered a severely neglected home on Wertz Avenue filled with hundreds of dead and live animals, including 253 rats, dogs, birds, and turtles, as well as suspected human remains. Park and his partner, who were operating a rescue called Little Goblins Rattery & Rescue, are charged with seven counts of animal cruelty. The Stark County Coroner's office is investigating the human bones to determine their age and origin. The Canton Health Department has condemned the property and ordered it to be cleaned or demolished. Animal welfare organizations have since rescued the surviving animals for treatment.
