(AP) - School officials say a custodian cleaning up a trailer at an Oregon school found 17 dead pets in a freezer, including six cats. Portland Public Schools officials said the principal at Ockley Green School asked the custodian in July to help turn a little-used trailer behind the school into a classroom. The Oregonian reports that the custodian found the animals in garbage bags and frozen solid in an upright freezer. Besides the cats, there were two hamsters, two goldfish, two frogs, a guinea pig, a hedgehog, a parakeet, a lizard and a spider. A longtime school volunteer says the animals were pets that had died of natural causes but it was too painful to part with them. Rate This Story: The volunteer was relieved from further duties. Police say she wasn't cited because the animals had not been abused. ©2010 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
