Woman, animals taken from squalid home - New York News | NYC Breaking News
This is a sad story but one that makes me angry at the same time. This woman who is obviously mentally disturbed was living in squalor along with a lot of animals in a home that was condemned by the department of health in 2011. How was this person allowed to reenter this home after it was condemned to be a squatter and living in filth with no utilities? There's really something wrong with this system and I've heard of many people squatting in the city these days. It's a sign that there's not enough being done to help people but I also think animal shelters should keep track of how many adoptions they do b/c many people are NOT SUITABLE owners to have a pet, like a child they require love nuturing medical care food not to be forced to live like this and get sick and sometimes pass away. I also think animal facilities should start neutering and spaying animals to be adopted this would also keep the pet population down. If these neighbors were so concerned why didn't they call the health department and Adult Protective Services on this woman and maybe she could have been removed along with these animals and given the professional help she needs. No one wants to get involved until things get to this point or it lands them 5 minutes of fame on a news broadcast. I hope they're able to save the animals as I'm a loving responsible owner to my cat phoebe who we got from north shore back in 2004 and give her the social services and help she needs.
