In two freak incidents, more than 300 guinea pigs, rats, mice and gerbils were recovered in the Towns of Danby and Dryden around 2 p.m. on Sunday. The SPCA of Tompkins County said they tried their best to recover all of the animals. The rodents were originally found by members of the public in Danby, about 10 miles away from Cornell’s campus. Due to the weather many did not survive,” Jim Bouderau, executive director of the SPCA of Tompkins County, told The Sun. The Tompkins County SPCA requests anyone with knowledge of the incident to contact the SPCA’s Humane officers at 607-592-6773 or by email at investigator@spcaonline.com.
