Neglect - 20 ferrets, 6 cats, 5 dogs, others
Omaha, NE (US)Incident Date: Friday, Aug 27, 2004
County: Douglas
Disposition: Convicted
Defendant/Suspect: David L. Berlowitz
An Omaha man, David Berlowitz, 57, was cited for 23 counts of cruelty to animals Thursday after humane society officers found the animals crowded into one area of his home.
Officers confiscated several animals after they received an anonymous tip about David Berlowitz. When they arrived at his home they smelled a strong odor and found the ferrets in unsanitary conditions. Humane Society workers Thursday found 20 ferrets, six cats, five dogs, two cockatiels, a green iguana and a guinea pig inside.
The animals were determined to be living in unsanitary conditions resulting in animal cruelty tickets. The animals were confiscated. Tickets also were issued for owning a non-pet animal (the iguana) and harboring too many cats. City residents are limited to five cats without a special permit.
The man was arrested for failure to appear in court to answer three previous charges of cruelty.
Berlowitz was cited in February on separate cruelty charges.
