The authorities rescued a hundred cats this morning after completing a search and search warrant at a residence located at kilometer 2.0 of the PR-401 highway in the Playa neighborhood, in Añasco.
According to the investigation by agent José Flores, coordinator of Law 154 for the Welfare and Protection of Animals in Mayagüez, Ericka Marie Erickson lives in the residence, who is an alleged rescuer against whom the neighbors filed complaints due to the alleged unsanitary conditions in which these cats lived and the way in which he disposed of the animals once they died.
