100 chats retirés d'une maison de Edmonton

[animo-aequoanimo 0]

Sur les 100 chats retirés de la maison, 96 ont été euthanasiés. Les animaux souffraient de maladies respiratoires causées par des niveaux élevés d'ammoniac dans la maison. Ils étaient en piteux état en raison des odeurs toxiques d'amoniac et souffraient de sérieux problèmes respiratoires. Il semble que les 2 frères qui habitaient la résidence "n'avaient pas toute leur tête à eux". L'un d'eux venait de mourir il y a qqes jrs. C'est un voisin inquiet du sort des chats qui a appelé la Humane Society.

Nearly 100 cats had to be euthanized after they were removed from a home in west Edmonton.
The animals have been retrieved over the past two weeks from a house located at 102nd Avenue and 146th Street and most were in extremely poor health.

"They were in horrible, horrible condition," said Shawna Randolph, spokeswoman for the Edmonton Humane Society. "There was no way they could survive under the conditions that they were in. They were very, very ill."

Of the 100 cats removed from the home, 96 were euthanized. The animals were suffering from respiratory diseases caused by high ammonia levels in the house.

"Parts of their respiratory tract had literally been burned by the ammonia," Randolph said. "It's so sad. It's so sad that it got to this point."

Animal protection officers at the Humane Society became aware of the house when they were contacted by a neighbour worried about the welfare of the animals.

When they arrived at the house, the man who lived there "realized he was well over his head" and agreed to cooperate, Randolph said.

"We would leave empty carriers in the morning and toward the latter part of the day we would return and he would have the cats ready for us," she said. "He had collected them."

The man passed away several days ago. His brother is giving officers access to the house.

However, the operation has proven to be difficult for the animal protection officers because of the ammonia.

"They couldn't stay in there long," she said. "The air was just so toxic for them."

It's believed that about 15 cats are still hiding in nooks and crannies in the house.

Randolph says food and water has been left for them while officers try to coax them out.
