17 animals in a small home. What were they thinking? That’s right, they don’t think! The more I get to know animals, the less I like people!
poor babies. I hope they find new homes for all of them.
Wow, unbelievable. These are the kind of people that will be back to getting more animals. They think they’re doing good but they’re not.
Great post.
So sad for the animals. How long were they forced to live like that? At least, they’re out of there.
Saved as a favorite, I really like your blog!
Who lets their animals live in filth like this? They shouldn’t be allowed to have any more pets!
