收容所从一户人家带走了87只宠物

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.

据报道，本月早些时候，一家动物收容所从宾夕法尼亚州的一个家中带走了87只宠物，此前当局认为这所房子不适合人类居住。

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.

布兰迪温谷动物保护协会是一家禁止捕杀动物的收容所。该协会表示，动物保护服务官员在两天多的时间里将这些宠物从凤凰城的家中带走。凤凰城位于费城西北约30英里处。

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.

费城WPVI-TV电视台援引官员的话说，家里的地板上满是粪便，而大多数猫身上都有跳蚤和耳螨。据报道，其他宠物的伤口也没有得到治疗。

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.

与此同时，一只体重不足的狗被发现患有皮肤病，一半毛发脱落。据阿什伯里公园出版社报道，这只狗还双目失明，患有牙病，需要进行全牙拔除。

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.

动物保护协会表示，这些猫已经被社会化了。他们说，他们中最健康的最早将于周四被收养。

“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.”

爱护动物协会的首席执行官亚当·兰姆说:“对于一个好心的爱猫人士来说，这是一个非常不幸的情况。动物没有理由遭受这样的痛苦。我们需要社区知道我们是来帮助他们的，在情况变得如此糟糕之前，我们需要邻居、亲戚和朋友报告相关的情况。”

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

动物保护机构表示，他们将对居住在凤凰城的三名居民提起诉讼。
