LAS CRUCES, N.M., Thu May 20, 04:40 PM


City animal control officers have started removing hundreds of large, feral rats from inside a Las Cruces rental home. Animal shelter director Beth Vesco-Mock said the rats - some sickly and displaying evidence of fighting - are about the size of a four- to five-month-old kitten.

Animal control officers had taken two skinny dogs and about 170 rats to the shelter by mid-Thursday, and officers estimated there were at least that many rats still hiding in the home.

Officers also found the fur and skeletal remains of two dogs that were presumed to have been eaten by the rats.

Authorities have charged a 55-year-old woman with three misdemeanors for excessive waste, improper care and maintenance of animals and dead animal removal. Each of the charges carry a maximum fine of $500 or 90 days in jail.

Riadas Retort: Hope the animal control guys have "Hoarders" on speed dial.... :ymsick:

Nor but in sleep findeth a cure for care.
Incertainty that once gave scope to dream
Of laughing enterprise and glory untold,
Is now a blackness that no stars redeem.

As an animal control officer with thirteen years experience I have been involved in plenty of these situations.

I wouldn't do it. I hate the media. Their vultures and they always twist things around. I'm a no audience kind of guy when I'm doing a job.
