“TEARS” shelter in Jefferson County. These animals were abused and or
abandoned were rescued by the shelter and allegedly thrown into cruel
inhumane conditions.
"Overcrowding brought about a lot of problems sanitary problems were
the biggest thing we saw. They had access to food and water but the
quality of the food or water when they are eating out of much feces
may not be that great," says Mark Pelham, a veterinarian at Liberty
Animal Hospital.
"It was very muddy and it was very cold and it was very smelly and
there are large amounts of animals out there," says Jackie Myers.
Of those 200 animals, more than 50 were cats found living in a trailer
with no running water, electricity, or ventilation. There were three
small portable heaters but rescue workers say it was not sufficient
heat. The cats were also in very poor health. They treated the
situation like a disaster zone.
