News here did a story on an old lady who was literally living in a house filled with rats....not pet rats. They showed the rats rounding around like they owned the place. That was disgusting and sad all at the same time. Apparently no one cared enough about this lady to help her |
At the same time the animal services should have removed the dogs a long time before that incident. This was the 5th time they were called over there. If the man was too ill to take care of them, they should have made the judgement call of taking the animals out of there for not only their health, but his own. In this case they were all pets, except for the roaches I believe. But the roaches were probably a product of being messy or the other animals. As for the pests and such, I feel very bad for that lady. I wish there was a service that checks in on the elderly if they have no family or friends to make sure they're okay. It must be terrible to be forgotten like that.
