why u cages the chicken ?
howl dam WHAT THE WHAT IM SHOCKED WAIT NOT ONLY SHE NEGLECT ANIMMALS BUT HER MOM TOO GISH DAM IM JUST GLAD THERE NO KIDS IN VOLVED
😢I’m definitely sad
Thank you all
Instead of prosecuting these overburdened rescuers, the city should help them with vet bills, etc. Her cat area does not look overcrowded. She was providing a home for these animals. She just needed help.
There is a parasite that is in cat poop and it can get into a human by way of stepping on the poop in bare feet and the parasite goes into the foot and then it travels to the brain where it makes the person like a slave to the cat and they will cater to the cat forever! I am not kidding! This cat parasite literally make a zombie out of you! You would give your life for that cat once that parasite takes over your brain! You can still function like a normal human being but you become this loyal devoted cat worshiper and even violent for your cats protection and sustenance! Take this woman for example,she is a perfect specimen . these people will start collecting cats too ,have you ever seen a "cat lady" in your area? Well this is whats going on and they are the host for this parasite !! This parasite is so smart that it knows its existence depends on a cat because this parasite only lives and thrives in cat poop so in turn the cat becomes the vessel for this parasites existence so now you know why some people are cat devotees! You can tell when the human has been infected by the parasite by how they "decide to get more cats" its not their decision ,its the parasite making them do it!!! This is why I would not own a cat. And if you do have a cat then keep it inside and NEVER let it outside to catch this parasite ,it is in the ground in the dirt from where other infected cats have pooped!
Thank you to rescuers! Heroes 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
She should be in prison
Well against the law
I got 8 cats. 800 sq. ft. house. All well taken care of. All fed and housed and relatively clean and healthy. So…will jackboot thug Judd kick my door down next so he can do a perp walk of me ? Will he put my pets to sleep and call himself a hero ?
Prayers for the animals and for the woman. She didnt mean to get this bad. She truly tried to "save" each animal I believe. Good intentions with bad outcomes.
Problem is in Alabama and Florida, maybe the other southern states next to mine, is there is a major cat problem, and it's very easy for a person to quickly become overwhelmed. People here are sorely lacking the education and resources to spay and neuter. I tried to get a mama cat and her babies to the shelter in my area, and couldn't for almost a year, losing 3 in the process, and becoming very ill from an infection I got from them, simply because they had no space to take them. Same with the Humane Society near me but in the next county over. The cat doesn't belong to me, she was dumped and of course not fixed. And was skin and bones when I found her and her babies. She's good now. But there are next to no resources here and there needs to be a massive campaign to educate on the need for spay and neuter and free clinics for it. These areas need free clinics because of the cost of vet care…..
Maybe if vet clinics didn't charge insane amounts for basic surgeries like spays and neuters this wouldn't happen so gd often!! Veterinaries need to stop being greedy fks!
Gracias x salvarlos mil bs
She is a hoarder with mental illness.
Welcome to Florida…. this is Common Practice down here. They take just as rotten care of their kids too
💔💔💔💔Mental illness at it’s worst.
This is a severe case of hoarding disorder.
Anyone that doesn't know how to care for animals properly and believes that they are 'saving' animals, has a mental health problem.
I hope the animals all make it and find loving safe homes. I also hope the lady seeks help for her mental health.
He had NO right to call her names! Unprofessional jerk!
This absolutely breaks my heart. I have 3 fur babies and 1 of them looks like the white cat shown in this video(not how bad the cat looks, just a white cat). The 48 year old woman is a 2nd grade teacher and it was said that she smelled horribly. How can someone like this even be around kid's???
Awe poor fur babies I hope they will be ok 😢 Sending prayers and love ❤️
only thing that gonna stay with these ppl is something locked in the home with them
Unbelievable that someone would put all those animals in harm. When are these animal hoarders going to realize they are NOT helping these animals they think they are rescuing. They would be better of living on the streets than to be living in that cramped ass trailer, stuck in cramped cages. That is no life for any animal. Dogs and cats do NOT belong in cages!!! Chickens do not either!!! If you want a pet that lives in a cage, get a damn bird. SMH. I can't stand people who abuse and neglect animals, children or elderly, I pray all the animals were rescued in time to save their lives and praying they all find loving forever homes. I also am praying her mom is ok. If she neglected all those animals I can only imagine how she treated her mom.
Cities don't do anything other than euthanize animals
I thought I saw spidey in the cage on the thumbnail
i will adopt the rooster. will contact Polk county
It's a shame because alot of these cases start with people trying to do the right thing bug then end up so overwhelmed that they are now doing the wrong thing. Wanting to help animals is great but when it gets to the point where you can't say no even when you already have to many animals thst you've taken in your then become the people they were rescued from in the first place. Truly sad but as I said it didn't start with bad intentions.
Hurray for Animal Control. Our heros! It's known that animal control is the most emotionally difficult law enforcement job known.
This woman would benefit from being educated not punishment.
Like sheriff said she isn't evil and may have believed she was helping these animals.
Hope they all find good homes.
I hope she gets prison justice. That woman is a monster. She's evil.
oh those hand signs….
Honestly, the animals will probably be just put down by the State.
I don't think this women deserves five felonies.
She got caught for taking 22 animals to the vet, so she does care.
It wasn't evil, it was kindness that made her do this.
It is hard for a lot of people to understand.
Couple misdemeanors, sure, but not 5 + felonies!
That's horrible. Empathy goes a long way here.
Beyond sad.
Hopefully all animals will make a complete recovery.
They are definitely in good hands now
Unfortunately they're going to let her go by tomorrow
She has a mental illness. That's beyond being a cat lady.
Please adopt me! They are the best!
Call the colonel at KFC.
I worked in chicken house in prison, there were 5 chickens per cage, over 10000 chickens , lay eggs for 2 years, then sold to ky fried chicken for 25 cents a piece, chickens had no feathers left on them when sold, but not one onhumane treatment was ever filed, these animals look fed, clean, and one to a cage, better treated then prison chickens
Praying that all animals find a home.
Imagine her smell on her.
It's sad because these people always do this because they are kind hearted folks and are trying to help, they just get super overwhelmed. It's a crappy situation all around.
What was she teaching her students is what I want to know?
SECOND GRADE TEACHER
Lisa looks like she bout 54 instead of 48…TRUE story wit NO lie attached…😑
