On June 26, New York City's Animal Care Centers (NYC ACC) initiated a rescue operation after over 100 dogs were discovered living in squalid conditions in a Brooklyn apartment. This occurred following the death of a 73-year-old woman. The dogs, many of whom were severely matted and sick, were rescued with the help of the NYPD and the ASPCA. The unfortunate plight of the dogs elicited strong public reactions, with calls for action to prevent such neglect in the future.
"Many are severely matted, most appear sick, and one was actively giving birth as our team arrived," the NYC ACC wrote on Facebook.
"We know the public reaction is one of disbelief, even anger. It's hard to comprehend how anyone could live this way, or how animals could be left in such a state," the shelter continued.
