"My dog caught wind of it and dragged us over there. And of course we were shocked when we found out what we saw,” said resident Scott Woldman.
Woldman told Eyewitness News no one from the county has stopped by to clean up the mess.
"It was a health and safety issue. I mean, that was clearly evident,” said Woldman.
Another resident, Ryan Matthews was driving in the area and noticed something was wrong.
"I got real close and I could see just thousands of flies and I knew it was something way worse,” said Matthews.
Late Friday, deputies looked through a pile behind the bank, hoping to find some evidence of who dumped the animals.
