Bags containing the carcasses of 26 were found at an apartment building in Middletown on Wednesday.
According to WFSB, police got a call from a group of Wesleyan University students who were shooting a horror movie in the area of River Road when they noticed the bad smell.
Ray Connors, the state’s chief animal control officer, told NBC Connecticut it’s not clear how the bags were discovered although the remains, including entrails, fleece and heads, were likely the renderings from a slaughter.
