More than 200 animals rescued from 'disgusting hoarding' conditions in Hill County

[TexasTowelie]

More than 200 animals were rescued this month from a dilapidated home in Hill County, according to the Humane Society of North Texas.

Working with Hill County law enforcement officials, the agency removed a total of 221 live animals — 84 rabbits, 50 chickens, 22 gerbils, 21 ducks, 20 guinea hens, nine geese, eight guinea pigs, four turkeys, two cats and a hamster. Animals were taken to Fort Worth and Joshua for treatment.

The humane society also found 11 recently deceased rabbits, as well as piles of decomposing deceased rabbits, at the home in Hill County, which is about 60 miles south of Dallas.

“The state of the residence was deplorable with feces-coated floors, garbage everywhere, and other forms of debris piled inside the residence and in the yard,” the humane society said on Facebook. “Outside, small pools of water were found with dark green, grossly discolored stagnant water contaminated with fecal matter.”

Asking what can we do to prevent this?

My answer on what you can do about it here.

I think if a hoarder is caught for any reason they should go into a nationwide database that connects to shelters,pet shops,tnr folks,pet rehabs,fosters,
breeders etc.

Every animal hoarder
be prohibited for life from having any kind of pet whatsoever.

They must get animal welfare checks at thier residence every year at minimum.

Any animals they acquired will be taken away. No exceptions.

Everyone wanting to adopt must be checked on the hoarder database.

No more animals will suffer a godamn hoarder again ,hopefully.
