Disturbing photos of allegedly neglected feral cats at the Marion County, South Carolina shelter are going viral on social media. Be sure to take a good look at the photos. Yes, the cats are locked in. There are maggots in the blue bucket. One cat is said to be dead in the cage. This is unacceptable!

The following plea for help was posted along with the photos taken at the Mullins shelter stating
“SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE! Went to help at the MARION CO. ANIMAL SHELTER (SC) and this was the condition of their feral cats! All other animals were evacuated to a new temporary shelter, but these cats were left. Padlocked in, litters completely soaked and unusable, no food, and yes there is a dead cat in one of the kennels. Marion County has one of the worst animal controls/shelters in SC and this is uncalled for! Please share these photos and maybe we can cause someone to actually do something about this!”
Does anyone know the whole story on this horrible situation? Are the cats safe? What is needed and who should we contact?
Please post any information about the current condition of the cats in the comment section. Contact news media in the Marion County area. Trisha Dingle is doing a good job with updates on her Facebook page.
If the South Carolina shelter rings a bell of familiarity, I wrote on it for PoC after cats were shot and killed back in 2016. The code enforcement officer was fired.
I’m trying Michael, I really am 🙂
I’m glad you’re back 😉

GaillenT, how do you feel about farmers? They generally have a devastating effect on ALL wildlife. Or don’t they count because they provide you with a never ending supply of rancid, dead animal flesh in the grease filled burgers that you likely fill your gaping, ranting maw with 24hrs a day?
Love the classy husbandry.
Southern states of America! Sort out your primitive attitudes to the welfare of other species, you have a reputation, not far behind the repulsive butchers of Yulin Festival in China. I have seen so many of these horror stories originating from the South.
Yes, before anyone bites me, I do understand how the history of the country has led to depravity and deprivation. We are nearly a fifth into the 21st century, the attitudes of those who neglect animals this way would be more fitting to the 12th century.
Robert Rhino & aliases, you would be better suited to some basic education about wild life, domesticated animals and farmed animals than sitting in your Mum’s basement, pretending that your compassionless, dumb arse drivel impresses anyone reading it.
