The head of a New York City animal rescue implicated of abusing lots of cats apparently got detained after her own volunteers tipped off authorities. According to the New York Post, which pointed out individuals knowledgeable about the matter, a confidential source alerted Councilwoman Joann Ariola of the supposed abuse by Farhana Haq, who ran Queens-based animal rescue Cats of Meow York. Law enforcement quickly got included, eliminating more than 40 cats—much of them presumably ill or starved—from the basement of Haq’s home. Authorities have actually considering that arraigned Haq on animal abuse charges, which might land her in prison for approximately one year. “These are innocent, defenseless animals, and it was tragic to see images of them being kept in the shape they were in,” Ariola said, according to the Post. Haq’s attorney competes that his customer is being targeted by “vindictive and accusatory social media trolls whose ranks include disgruntled former employees.”
