66 pets + 1 mobile home + 2 human inhabitants = ?

According to an Associated Press Story I read on The News Tribune website, health officials condemned a mobile home in Michigan that was FULL of dogs and cats. Sixty six animals to be exact. In this mobile home also lived a 68 year old woman and her 22 year old daughter. Both of these poor women knew their pet population was WAY out of hand but apparently didn't know how to deal with it. They did however, become "used to having their clothing, especially the lower parts of their pants, covered in feces. The women shared a bed, also covered with animal waste, and protected themselves from the filth by wearing heavy jackets and pants at night, deputies said."

Now, if this is not disturbing enough the article also mentions that they could possibly be faced with CRIMINAL CHARGES. Yes, I agree that animals do have the right to live their lives free from abuse. Yes, I agree that these women OBVIOUSLY let this get WAY out of hand. However, does it not occur to anyone that they may need some psychological help? Do we care more about the animals than the two women who didn't have the sense to seek help say 50 animals ago?

I'm just saying...this seems like a no brainer to me! They need help. Get the animals new homes and help these women get on the road to recovery!!!

I'm just wondering....what do you think? Read the article for yourselves.
