Black, Dept of Agriculture at [email protected] FROM THE ARTICLE: Another article describes the horror found in Floyd County Animal Control’s infamous back room. The article is on addictinginfo.org and an exert from it states I looked in horror at the other “back room cats.” A litter of fuzzy gray kittens had their eyes sealed shut by infections, which were draining foul-smelling mucus, blood, and pus. One cat lay dead in its cage, its eyes glassy and its body stiff. Another, who had been listed online with her seven kittens, lay alone with engorged nipples. Her kittens had all died. Four healthy, frisky orange-and-white fluff balls and purred when I touched them. A Maine coon kitten stuck his paw out at me, trying to “catch” me as I walked past. A six-week-old calico baby meowed desperately. A fuzzy black kitten and his fuzzy gray sibling huddled together, shivering. One cat made strange sounds, stumbled, and leaked foam from his mouth. I found myself quickly pulling my daughter away from his cage, wondering if I was witnessing the effects of rabies for the first time in my life. Most of the others lay lethargic, panting, and in pain as they awaited the next morning’s euthanasia.
