This is so sad

Cats seized from Voice of the Animals sanctuary

This is what really got me about the story:

"The Humane Society inspected the property a year ago and found hundreds of cats living in as many as nine trailer homes. Nearly all of the trailers were in severe disrepair and only one of them had running water, according to the October 2005 inspection report.

Excrement was accumulating on floors and smeared on walls in some of the units. Inhabiting the trailers were scores of cats stricken with fleas, ringworm lesions and upper respiratory ailments, the report said.

Deputy Prosecutor Louis Marshall said the county and Humane Society had no reason to believe conditions had improved during the 11 months since the Humane Society inspection."

The Humane Society KNEW a year ago the conditions there were appalling yet DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT THEN!!!!! WHAT THE &%^$#!!!!!!

Those poor kitties, if you can't take care of the critters properly, then don't! Find another organization who can step in and help if you are overwhelmed. Some people should not be allowed near animals at all. I used to work at a wildlife rehab when I was in high school, we had lots of critters in and out and none used a litter box and we ALWAYS had their spaces cleaned of waste and food stuffs that were spilled and we were a totally volunteer organization with limited money and people.

I'm not sad at all -- I'm bloody furious! This kind of indifference to the lives of any other-than-human species just makes me want to rip out someone's throat with my teeth!
