In February, a Las Vegas couple was arrested after nearly 200 animals were seized from their home and other locations across the valley.
After that happened, I talked to Kacey Brunson from the Vegas Friends of Guinea Pig Rescue after she took some of the seized guinea pigs in.
“I took about 30 to 40 in. I am not sure of the exact count, but I have lost several,” Brunson said.
Now— some lawmakers are taking action.
“I believe this couple bought 30 dogs from this one pet store in one year,” said Las Vegas Councilwoman for Ward 2, Victoria Seaman.
These documents reveal photos and details of the couple that is accused of animal abuse:
I talked with Seaman about changes to Title 7 to address animal hoarding.
It is about limiting the number of animals you can buy from a pet store because if you are only allowed six dogs and six cats, then we have limited to six dogs a year and six cats. They will also have to register with an ID every time they buy an animal; protective services will monitor that.
