Hell house: Pets live in torment among corpses

By JENNIFER BAIN and KATHIANNE BONIELLO

Their mouths were muzzled and wrapped in so much tape they couldn't breathe, bark or eat. Their fur was matted with filth and the house was crammed with so much trash, it hid the floor.

A Long Island mother and daughter were arrested yesterday after more than a dozen tortured dogs and cats were rescued from a filth-riddled Rockville Centre home that included more than two dozen decomposing animal remains, cops said.

Judge Anna Anzalone teared up as prosecutors showed pictures of a dog skull with tape still visible on it, as well as the squalor in the small house...

Inside, authorities said, they found a nightmare: 15 dehydrated, trembling animals covered in urine and feces, amid two feet of trash on every piece of flooring, and the rotting corpses of dozens more.

2. Sometimes well-meaning rescuers go insane.

They try to do more than they are able to do. As a rule, these animals weren't taken in for the purpose of torture, but to save them.

My cat David came from such a place. The trauma affected him horribly for the first ten years of his life.

Which is why I tend to be hard on people who want to solve all the ills of the world at once. You can't. It will make you crazy.

8. .

Ross' ex-husband, Louis Maselli, said he has had no contact with daughter Francesca for more than a decade because Ross cut her off from him and his family after the courts refused to require visitation.
"My daughter was taken away from me when she was 11 and taught to hate me and my family," he told The Post. "I gave up, finally, after 10 years of phone calls and letters."

12. The charges should be more harsh due to this:

The animals are not available for adoption because Ross and Maselli refused to forfeit ownership, forcing the Town of Hempstead to go through a civil-court hearing within the next 10 days.

Poor babies have to wait to be adopted.
