134 Cats, 6 Dogs, 3 Children Taken From Utah Home
<snip>

LAYTON, Utah -- Animal control officers have removed 134 cats, six dogs and three children from one home here.

Now, the Davis Animal Shelter is now overrun with cats, and the home has been closed as a health hazard.

"You could see cats on top of everything, tables, chairs, Tupperware containers, beds, the floors," said animal cruelty investigator Angela Parkinson.

The shelter is trying to get the animals adopted.

"The animals are safe. They are being cared for. We have no intention of doing mass euthanasia," said shelter director DeAnne Hess.

1. I'm too far away or I'd take a couple of the cats
Obviously I'm more concerned about the kids, but I'm not equipped to adopt them.

2. I think it's an overreaction
to euthanize the kids, but then again I don't have any, so what do I know about it. :eyes:
