A Bay Shore woman is accused of confining birds in poor outdoor conditions without clean water during extreme temperatures, according to the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Detectives with the Suffolk County SPCA responded with the Town of Islip Fire Marshal's Office to 57-year-old Jacqueline Godoy's residence due to conditions at the property Tuesday.
A total of 41 birds consisting of ducks, roosters and hens were removed from the outdoor property.
The property was also deemed unfit for human occupancy by the Town of Islip.
Humane Long Island removed the animals to a safe location.
Godoy was arrested and charged with animal cruelty and neglect of an impounded animal.
