| 63 Animals Removed From Roach-Filled Mobile Home 63 Animals Removed From Roach-Filled Mobile Home Animal control officers in Brevard County, Fla., removed 63 animals from a mobile home filled with roaches and covered in animal feces, according to a Local 6 News report. Brevard County sheriff's deputies said an anonymous caller said "something was not right" at a mobile home located on Camp Road in Canaveral Groves, Fla. When officers and animal services entered the structure, they found ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, parrots, turtles, dogs, cats, mice and other birds stuffed into the dilapidated home filled with feces. Local 6 News showed video of walls covered with hundreds of roaches. "It was truly a house of horrors by anyone's standards," Local 6 reporter Donald Forbes said. "What they found left many of these seasoned officers horrified and disgusted." "During yard work, I could smell stuff but I thought it was in the shed," neighbor Joann Ware said. "I had no idea it was in the house." Police said Wade Fuller, 75, was living inside the home with the animals, including nine dead animals. "From my understanding, the owner is in the hospital at this time," Brevard County Animal Services spokesman Bob Brown said. Local 6 News learned that Fuller was in serious condition at Cape Canaveral Hospital but his illness was not known. Animal control officer said they have been to the home four times in the last five years over neglected animal problems. The animals were transported to the Brevard County Animal Shelter. It was also not known if Fuller would face charges in connection with the case. Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Yea, it's gross, but I always feel a little sorry when the "owner" turns out to be someone in the seventies. A lot of times, they didn't mean to not take care of the animals, they just can't. Can't take care of the animals or themselves either. Sad 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
