Pet owners who abandoned their animals during Hurricane Irma may face criminal charges in Florida. Palm Beach prosecutors said they intend to hold offenders accountable.

More than 50 animals were found abandoned, many tied to fences and trees in Palm Beach county when Irma made landfall last week. Some dogs were found inside homes, while others were enclosed in outdoor pens.

In Palm Beach County it is illegal to tether a dog if there is no one present. It is also a felony offence to keep a dog outside during extreme weather.

Offenders could face felony animal cruelty charges, those who abandoned their animals will not be not able to get them back.

State prosecutors and Animal Care and Control are working together to track the owners by various means, including interviewing neighbors and checking pet microchips.
