Summary

Two residents in St. Albans face animal cruelty charges after police found their home in horrific disarray—dead rats, feces everywhere, no food or water for the dogs inside, including one locked in a cage with no sustenance. One dog suffered severe mange, others showed signs of malnutrition and inbreeding. The pair, Richard Lee Booker and Sandra May Humphrey, are now jailed with $10K bonds; Humphrey has a prior conviction. The stench was so bad officers couldn’t stay long—this case is a grim wake-up call for animal welfare. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
