200 Animals Rescued From Home

That is just nasty!

An animal protection group on Friday rescued more than 200 animals, including 26 hissing cockroaches and two bearded dragons, from an eastern Texas home.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said the animals were still being counted Friday night.

The group was acting under the authority of the Harrison County Sheriff's Department and had gone to the property on a warrant regarding medical neglect.

Besides the cockroaches and bearded dragons, the animals included 68 dogs, 16 rabbits, 15 guinea pigs, 13 gerbils, seven doves, two dwarf hamsters, two hedgehogs, an opossum and a pink toe tarantula.

And a partridge in a pair tree!!!!

That makes me so sad. I hate to hear about animals being mistreated. They are living things that can feel pain too. Its just so sad the things people will do to them. After getting my guinea pig I cant understand how someone could mistreat them...they're the sweetest animals. They all must've been pretty cramped up unless is was some kind of a huge house, which I doubt. It said no arrests were made but there should be!

OMG.. How can people do something like this?! Animals don't deserve to be treated badly. They're living things too. Poor little things. :( Whoever did that needs to be put in jail FOREVER!!!
