On 10/99, the Atlantic County SPCA raided the Loving Ferrets and Exotic Animals Shelter at 416 West Herschel Street, Galloway Township, NJ. They removed 113 animals from the home, all in poor condition; no food, no water, dead animals and live animals in the same cages.
2/8/01 - Linda Rodriguez (the owner and operator of Loving Ferrets) had basically all the charges dropped against her. Due to an error with the search warrant served by the Atlantic County SPCA, the photographic evidence and eyewitness evidence is all suppressed.
This leaves Loving Ferrets open and operational, and free to continue their allegedly sub-standard shelter practices.
Ms. Rodriguez allegedly stated she was "waiting until there were enough to make it worth digging a hole" in response to the many rotting, liquefied animal corpses being stored in a truck in her yard.
