WARFORDSBURG, Pa. — Police are investigating the deaths of more than 900 pigs inside a barn at an abandoned southern Pennsylvania farm.

State Police Lt. Gregory Bacher says authorities are examining the deaths of 925 pigs found in a warehouse-style barn in Warfordsburg.

Bacher said necropsies are being conducted the carcasses after they were found in various states of decay. He says he’s never seen an apparent act of cruelty like this in his career.
