Wisconsin Animal Sanctuary Raid:
ASPCA Rescues Over 300 Animals!
On Tuesday morning, May 19, the ASPCA was on hand in Cazenovia, WI, to assist in the raid of an animal sanctuary, the Thyme and Sage Ranch. The ASPCA Forensic Cruelty Investigation and Disaster Response teams, as well as our Mobile Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) Unit, are currently working alongside the Richland County Sheriff’s Department to collect evidence and evaluate the animals found at the site.
“We are just starting to scratch the surface of what appears to be a horrendous situation,” says ASPCA Disaster Response Team member Sandy Monterose.
Since 2007, the ranch has held the animal control contract for Richland County, WI, and acted as the county’s animal shelter. The ASPCA became involved in the raid at the request of the Richland County District Attorney and Dane County Humane Society, which began investigating the Thyme and Sage Ranch because of public complaints.
As of now, animals continue to be examined both on the scene and in the ASPCA Mobile CSI Unit.
Unfortunately, our work is far from over. While these animals are finally receiving the care they need and deserve, there are still countless others who need our help. Your support makes it possible for the ASPCA to travel the country and rescue animals from horrendous conditions like these.
It is your generosity that allows our experts to assist national and local law enforcement agencies in their efforts to build cases against and prosecute animal cruelty offenders.
