The NBC affiliate reports 14 of those animals were found dead, some beheaded. "Four dogs and two cats were found decomposing inside the house in locked crates, the rest were deceased chickens and ducks in the backyard," according to a release obtained by KXAN.
The homeowner was reportedly hospitalized recently, but the Williamson County Sheriff believes the animals died prior to the homeowner’s hospitalization. The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter took 38 of the animals into the shelter late Tuesday night.
