Nearly 300 animals – including rabbits, cats, birds, tortoises and snakes – were rescued this week from a vermin-infested Long Island home where they endured “inhumane and brutal conditions,” officials said.
““It is estimated that there were tens and thousands of cockroaches crawling through the home,” the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said in a press release. Many of the animals were “surrounded by their own feces and urine and covered in vermin,” officials said. Some were suffering from untreated medical conditions.
“The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office has developed a task force dedicated to helping animals in need, and we commend them for prioritizing efforts to stop animal neglect and cruelty in their communities.”The rescued animals were taken to animal welfare organizations throughout New York, officials said. Fifteen cats were kept in the vermin-infested home.Homeowner Karin M.
