Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) confirms the agency seized the animals recently at a home at 181 Sells Lane, on the south side of Trenton, in an operation that took 14 hours — from 12 p.m. Tuesday to 2 a.m. Wednesday morning.
The operation involved animal control resources from 6 nearby counties, in part because of its massive scope, but also because Dade County government currently has no animal control agency.
