MAUSTON, Wis. (AP) -- Prosecutors have charged two women with animal abuse after sheriff's deputies seized 83 dogs and 10 cats and kittens from their home.
According to a criminal complaint, deputies went to the Necedah home 63-year-old Jeanellen Maderer shared with 63-year-old Leslie A. Ellis on Tuesday. The deputies found feces all over the floor and dogs in kennels covered with feces.
They also found two rooms filled with cats, including two dead kittens. They couldn't count them because there were so many.
Both Maderer and Ellis were charged with felony mistreatment of animals, improperly sheltering animals, a misdemeanor, and obstructing an officer, a misdemeanor. Online court records didn't list an attorney for either of them.

Why doesnt Wisconsin have any organizations like an ASPCA that would monitor people that hoard animal or that run breeding mills? We wouldnt see this as much across the country if every state had any organization that would have all the power of a police officer.
