It really is shocking and sad, and certainly, I'm not condoning or making excuses for them. I think sometimes though, you get in over your head and by then, you are afraid to tell anyone b/c you're afraid of exactly what happened to them, happening. Does that make sense? You could only hope/wish that anyone who knew them and the situation would have turned them in long before it got to such exponential proportions. When you've got that many dogs (and I imagine they somehow believed that living there with them was better than going to a shelter), it would be difficult (esp. if you're elderly and on a fixed income) to even start to have them neutered. A very sad situation for everyone. I hope all the dogs will find nice homes.
