They've seized 375 - 400 animals (still a few they're trying to catch, by what I understand) from a hoarder just down the road from my clinic
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
A few people from work went over there last night (a doctor and a few techs) to help out. It sounds like the state vet and the national humane society disaster team (which was called in) have the logistics mostly under control, but I'm sure they need manpower. I'm waiting to hear from my coworkers on whether the help is needed or not, but if so I'll be out there tomorrow and Monday.
How can people be so sick?
Apparently one of my coworkers (who's very involved in the local humane society) has seen this lady selling puppies on the side of the road and at flea markets for years. So her whole "rescue" front isn't gonna work... she may have started that way, but now she's just another puppy mill.
ETA: "According to Animal Services, the final count included 160 large and small dogs, 40 cats, 100 rodents, 65 fowl and exotic birds and 10 livestock including horses, ponies, a llama and goats."
