Authorities in Lexington County, South Carolina, uncovered a nightmare: nearly 100 animals living in severe, dangerous conditions across two properties. Some animals were already dead when investigators arrived. Others were so neglected that officials warn they may not survive, even with intensive veterinary care.
Sign now to demand a lifetime ban on animal ownership and mandatory mental health counseling for the person responsible.
Animal control officers and sheriff's deputies described conditions so extreme that every single animal had to be removed immediately for their safety. Rescuers are now scrambling to save the animals who survived, placing them in multiple facilities for treatment. Tragically, some may still need to be humanely euthanized due to the severity of their suffering.
Cases like this are not just about animal cruelty, they are serious warning signs. Hoarding and large-scale neglect often stem from untreated mental health issues, and without intervention, the behavior frequently repeats. Allowing someone responsible for this level of harm to ever own animals again puts future animals directly at risk.
Sign the petition to demand justice for these animals and ensure this kind of cruelty never happens again.
