This sounds like another typical case of no one seeing the abuse for the "help". I've seen many other "helpful" people or "rescue operators" that do not properly take care the animals. Their "kindness" makes a great publicity shot to the press and on TV but if anyone looked closer they see the abuse.
How do you determine it was their abuse and not the results of the storm? These animals rescued from the storm are hard to determine where the injuries were sustained. However, it is the clear neglect of medical care that should indicate real abuse.
I am just glad someone was able to contact the authorities and get something done properly. I know of a place here that I wish they'd do something about. However, they know the system just enough so they don't get busted. That is what hurts the most.
