On Friday, a Pennsylvania couple accused of animal cruelty and mistreatment were indicted on hundreds of charges and jailed on $1 million bail.
The 99 animal cruelty and other charges against Nyal Piper and Renee Piper were filed two months after authorities seized the animals from their Johnstown home in western Pennsylvania.

Bedford County Correctional Facility officials said Nyal Piper, 81, and Renee Piper, 62, were both incarcerated as of Friday afternoon. Court records do not list attorneys for them, and district court officials said no attorneys appeared on their behalf.
Prosecutors say the charges involve 90 dogs, eight cats and one turtle.
They face additional charges for the three animal bodies found in the home and the five dogs they had to euthanize.
