A breeding facility in Jenera, Ohio, became the centre of a federal animal welfare case after inspectors discovered hundreds of chinchillas living in severely neglected conditions. Rows of cramped cages, untreated medical conditions and animals kept in a building that had allegedly been hidden from inspectors for years prompted legal action against the breeder. Following a request from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Humane World for Animals stepped in to help remove the animals.The organisation's Animal Rescue Team completed the rescue of 951 chinchillas in two operations. Rescuers first entered the facility on October 13 and removed 642 animals over two days.
