Ban Hoarder From Future Animal Ownership Along With Felony Charges

Please sign and share this petition on all your media sites to gain justice for so many of these animals that were caught up in a poor hoarding situation in Phoenix. Officials are seeking several felony charges against the woman involved but we are also trying to ensure that she is also banned from future ownership of animals for the duration of her life.

In Phoenix, an investigation revealed a huge hoarding situation involving zebras, alpacas, farm and domestic animals; about 100 animals in all. They were living in feces filled areas, some nearly four feet high. Police were summoned to this home due to the horrendous odor and noises sustained by neighbors of the woman.

The woman originally had all good intentions in caring for the animals but just got so overwhelmed, never tried to find homes for any of the animals she could not care for, had some that were not even legal like a zebra, and never called authorities to ask for help. The animals lived in squalor and many did not even have access to any water when authorities arrived. The woman was not cooperative and detectives had to obtain a search warrant in order to investigate and rescue the animals.

Despite good intentions, all of us with a strong heart for animals know the responsibilities and would turn to the professionals to help in times of need. This woman was capable of doing just that but did not. We are trying to ensure she does face felony charges and be banned from future animal ownership. Help in our efforts by signing and sharing this petition on all media sites to gain justice for all the affected animals in this hoarding situation.
