Harwich police reported that officers responded to Viprino's home after receiving a complaint about neglected and dead sheep, revealing a disturbing case of animal cruelty.
Police found one sheep still alive but mortally wounded; it was later euthanized, while 15 others were discovered dead in appalling conditions with severe neglect.
The police narrative described the barn, saying, 'It was very obvious the sheep had been neglected for a long period of time based on the amount of deceased sheep present.'
There was no indication that the animals had been cared for, with police noting that the stalls had deep manure accumulation, and there was a lack of food and water.
