Over 130 Animals Seized From Westchester Teen
17-Year-Old Kept Exotic Animals Caged In Deplorable Conditions In
Make-Shift Care Center

(CBS) POUND RIDGE, N.Y. The Westchester Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals is looking for good homes for dozens of animals,
rescued from a make-shift animal welfare center run by a 17-year
old....

All told, 137 animals were rescued from a building at 24 Westchester
Avenue, rented by a 17-year old who fancied himself an animal rescuer.
Taking in an abundance of animals for care, but improperly caring for
them is also known as "animal hoarding." Most hoarders don't realize
they're doing something wrong, and believe they're actually helping
the animals out by taking them in....

The 17-year old was trying to care for more almost 40 geese and
chickens, 35 pigeons, five peacocks, 17 cats and kittens, a prairie
dog, and more than a dozen lizards and turtles. He was renting space
in someone's home to care for the animals, but the homeowner claims
to have no idea that the animals were not being properly cared for.

Other animals seized from the home include rabbits, guinea pigs,
ferrets, chameleons, Australian squirrels, hamsters, diamond doves,
cockatiels, love birds, chickens/roosters, and many geese and other
waterfowl.
