Lincoln Animal Control says their officers responded to two separate animal hoarding cases this summer that ended with the rescue of over 30 animals. According to a Facebook post, officers responded to an apartment in northwest Lincoln in July.
Officers observed the floor of the apartment to be covered with animal waste. Lincoln Animal Control Manager Denise Bollwitt says upon further investigation, it was determined that the owner had also left several cats and a dog inside a camper that was parked in direct sunlight. The internal temperature of the camper was in excess of 100 degrees and there was no accessible water provided.
