Woman lived with 800 rats in her apartment
A woman is reported to have hoarded hundreds of rats. She believed she had the situation under control.
Animal Hoarding in Rhineland-Palatinate
A woman in Rhineland-Palatinate had been living with around 800 rats in a detached house. Last week, the veterinary office had already rescued 400 animals from the house in Wissen an der Sieg.
Authorities assume this is a case of “animal hoarding”. The owner believes she has the situation under control. Initiatives such as “Notfallratten Rhein-Ruhr” and the German Animal Welfare Federation are caring for the animals. It is being examined whether proceedings will be initiated against the woman.
