That's exactly what I felt when I read your post. Many of the people do love their animals and vice versa. In many areas animal control will only lock them in cages and put them down quickly. In most areas the SPCA is also nothing more than a 3 day hold then kill. Our "no kill" SPCA is a rich hoity-toity thing that refuses adoption to everyone, no one is good enough, and as such they are always full and won't take injured, rescued or animals that may need extra TLC or that aren't 100% adoptable. I was refused adoption of a cat because they called my vet and were told one of my dog's was a month late on her parvo shot. My millionaire friend who lived in another state that has the same type of SPCA was refused adoption of a dog because he answered "yes" to the question on the questionaire about "would the dog ever be left home alone for any period of time". Apparently also grounds for refusal.
Point is - Animal control and SPCA is usually a kill immediately, kill after 3 days or keep forever and no one is good enough for adoption. In a case like this one I'm betting they would dispose of these animals right away and by "dispose" I don't mean find good loving homes.
Thank you for helping her better love and care for her animals. Start with good clean food and water. Maybe you can get local feed stores to donate cages, feed, wire and other supplies. Get local kid organizations to donate time to help build pens and provide feeding and care. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, if they're still around, are always needing service credits. Maybe there's a 4F or FFA group that would volunteer. You don't have to shoulder the whole burden yourself - just help get the ball rolling.
It's so easy for people to say call animal control but what most of them don't realize is that that is sentencing the animal to death.
She loves them, they love her - just like the man that lived in filth with his bit bulls - those pit bulls were all killled because they were deemed unadoptable. In my spirit, I still see that man crying. I wish someone like you had come along to help him sooner. According to that story his mother lived next door and had never been in his home and had no idea it was so dirty. Some people live such isolated lives that they lose contact with what's "normal".
God loves you - sometimes we are called to be angels to those in need and this is one of those times.
