Deputies in Thibodaux, Louisiana found 133 cats living in a residence suspected to be manufacturing methamphetamine. In addition, deputies claim to have found 7 dead cats and “a large amount of fecal matter”. After several days of removing the cats to the local animal shelter, all 133 were euthanized “due to their condition.”. Officials arrested Sandy Chauvin on counts of animal cruelty and drug charges.

This can connect to the rat infested, poor living conditions in factories during the Gilded Age that were exposed by Muckrakers during the Progressive Era.

I love cats and this makes me extremely sad. 133 cats is a lot. Your connection to the Muckrackers is very applicable.

What happened to those cats is so wrong. It is awful that they had to live out their lives in such horrible conditions that they had to be put down. So sad.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad and inhumane. I cant believe people could do that to innocent animals. So horrible.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to make me cry
ReplyDeleteI knew a guy with 138 cats. I don't think he made meth though.
