## Resource

Albany, Louisiana, deputies arrested a 27-year-old man after responding to calls about pigs on the loose—only to find 40 animals in horrific conditions: no food, no water, and one already dead. Many were wandering into traffic, creating a dangerous hazard. The pigs have since been rescued and are safe. Malik Smith faces 40 animal cruelty charges, including seven counts of aggravated cruelty. The investigation is ongoing as authorities seek justice for the neglected animals.
