PENSACOLA, Fla., March 29 (UPI) -- Officials in Florida say 161 cats were removed from the home of a man charged with animal cruelty. The cats all had to be euthanized because they posed a health hazard to the other animals at the Escambia County shelter, a spokeswoman told the Pensacola (Fla.) News Journal. Larry Kruger, 61, faces animal cruelty charges. Neighbors told the newspaper the Kruger property reeked whenever it was hot or rainy. Sheriff's deputies said the place was inundated with feline waste. "It was absolutely disgusting," Sgt. Ted Roy said. The South Florida Sun Sentinel said neighbors knew Kruger had a thing for cats, but believed he was rescuing them.
