收容所從一戶人家?guī)ё吡?7只寵物

An animal shelter pulled 87 pets from a Pennsylvania home earlier this month after authorities deemed the house unfit for human occupancy, according to reports.

據報道，本月早些時候，一家動物收容所從賓夕法尼亞州的一個家中帶走了87只寵物，此前當局認為這所房子不適合人類居住。

Brandywine Valley SPCA, a no-kill admission shelter, said animal protective services officers removed the pets from the Phoenixville home over two days. Phoenixville is about 30 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

布蘭迪溫谷動物保護協會是一家禁止捕殺動物的收容所。該協會表示，動物保護服務官員在兩天多的時間里將這些寵物從鳳凰城的家中帶走。鳳凰城位于費城西北約30英里處。

Officials cited by Philadelphia’s WPVI-TV said the floor of the home was covered in feces, while most of the cats had fleas and ear mites. Others reportedly had untreated wounds.

費城WPVI-TV電視臺援引官員的話說，家里的地板上滿是糞便，而大多數貓身上都有跳蚤和耳螨。據報道，其他寵物的傷口也沒有得到治療。

An underweight dog, meanwhile, was found with a skin disease that left half of her hairless, officials said. The dog was also blind and suffering from a dental disease that will require a full teeth extraction, the Ashbury Park Press reported.

與此同時，一只體重不足的狗被發(fā)現患有皮膚病，一半毛發(fā)脫落。據阿什伯里公園出版社報道，這只狗還雙目失明，患有牙病，需要進行全牙拔除。

SPCA said the cats were found to have been socialized. The healthiest found among them would be ready for adoption as early as Thursday, they said.

動物保護協會表示，這些貓已經被社會化了。他們說，他們中最健康的最早將于周四被收養(yǎng)。

“This is a very unfortunate situation of a well-meaning cat lover getting in over her head and not reaching out for help,” said Adam Lamb, SPCA’s CEO. “There’s no excuse for animals to suffer in conditions like this. We need the community to know we’re here to help and we depend on neighbors, relatives and friends to report circumstances of concern before conditions get this bad.”

愛護動物協會的首席執(zhí)行官亞當·蘭姆說:“對于一個好心的愛貓人士來說，這是一個非常不幸的情況。動物沒有理由遭受這樣的痛苦。我們需要社區(qū)知道我們是來幫助他們的，在情況變得如此糟糕之前，我們需要鄰居、親戚和朋友報告相關的情況。”

Animal protective services said they will file charges against the three people living at the Phoenixville home.

動物保護機構表示，他們將對居住在鳳凰城的三名居民提起訴訟。
