200 cats were tortured and killed. When rescuers entered the house, they needed to wear protective tools, and each time they entered the house, they could only enter for 30 minutes.

A cat abuse case was reported in State of Iowa, USA. 65-year-old Dennis Carlson abused more than 200 cats at home. The room was filled with cat feces and cat urine, and even the refrigerator was stuffed with corpses. The Animal Rescue League of Iowa (ARL) said Carlson has been arrested on five animal indifferences and three dead animals that have not been dealt with. The entire case is still under further investigation. The

Animal Rescue Alliance pointed out that when the ambulance arrived at the scene, he found that he could smell a violent odor outdoors alone, and the indoor stench was even more intense. Dozens of surviving cats needed to lie by the open window and breathe. The rescue alliance mentioned that due to the excessive pungent smell in the room, rescuers need to wear respirators and protective clothing, and need to change hands every 30 minutes. The

Rescue Alliance also stated that the house was full of excrement, not only was the curtains soaked in cat urine, but the space of a few meters was also filled with feces and garbage. In addition, the rescue alliance said that there were cat corpses on the kitchen counter, and the refrigerator and freezer were stuffed with "cat corpses" and "food for humans". After the

Rescue Alliance rescued more than 100 cats from the room, they were sent back to the base for treatment. A rescue worker said: Classified treatment has been carried out, but many kittens are only a few days old, with the smallest being only about 113 grams; and almost all rescued cats have fleas, upper respiratory tract infections, skin infections and other diseases. Before the treatment is completed, we have no idea what problems they will face. The

Rescue Alliance stated that after receiving the report, the police arrested Carlson on five counts of animal indifference and three counts of dealing with dead animals. The entire case is still under investigation. Tom Colvin, executive of the Rescue Alliance, condemned that the case illustrates that "the animal abuse laws in Iowa are very failed" and that neither cats nor humans should live in such a bad environment. Iowa should be better, and it should be asked by the whole nation to do better. It's time for lawmakers to start acting. He said that the Animal Rescue Alliance has accommodated nearly 1,300 cats and nipples, and there is no space for the shelter operation. He hopes that all walks of life can lend a helping hand.
