Palm City, Florida – On Monday, deputies with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at a home in the 1200 block of SW Alligator Street in Palm City where a serious hoarding situation occurred. According to the authorities, upwards of 20 badly neglected border collies were living in the home.
The sheriff’s office described the dismal conditions inside the residence, writing:
The conditions inside the home are extremely concerning. Deputies and animal services officers are required to wear Tyvek protective clothing while entering the residence because of the extensive accumulation of feces, urine-soaked materials, boxes and other debris throughout the interior. The conditions are making the process of locating and safely removing the animals both challenging and time-consuming.
The homeowner, who was not named, has been taken into custody.
Investigators and animal services personnel are continuing to assess the condition of the animals and determine the full scope of the situation.

No Human should treat animals so barbaric. Those responsible must pay the price, fined and and never allowed to have animals in their possession again. Put them on the registry for animal ab users.
Lock this person in a port o potty and throw away the key! Pure evil!
The individual responsible for the suffering of these poor animals needs to be held accountable for their actions. This person needs to be behind bars; they need to be removed from the rest of humanity since they don’t seem to grasp what it means to respect the lives of other living beings.
The monster who is responsible needs locked up for life and never allowed to be near an animal again. Bless those innocent dogs. Hopefully brighter days are ahead filled with care and compassion.
PROSECUTE TO THE C FULLEST THE MOTHERFUCKING ANIMAL ABUSER…
