The Houston SPCA Rescues 1,045 Animals!

[loriken214]

On the afternoon of September 23, 2009, law enforcement officials from Precinct One Harris County Constables Office and the Houston SPCA Cruelty Investigations Team rescued 1,045 animals from a home in Northwest Houston. This is the largest animal rescue in the history of the Houston SPCA and one of the largest in the country. A variety of animals including birds, exotics, small mammals, farm animals, wildlife and companion animals were all found living in deplorable conditions, cruel confinement and lacking proper food, water and shelter. Dead animals were also found on the property. The former owners were raising these animals to sell at flea markets.

The animals are now safely sheltered at the Houston SPCA where they are receiving proper nutritional and medical attention.

Can you imagine what these poor creatures went through? This just makes my blood boil! God bless the SPCA employees and volunteers for what they do to save these precious lives.

How revolting. People who treat animals like merchandise must be missing a part of their soul. I can''t wrap my mind around it.
