Sanctuaries are expected to care for animals rescued from dire situations, providing them with adequate food, water, shelter, and medical care, but at Double D Bar Ranch animals rocked back and forth psychotically and lived amongst piles of feces and corpses of their friends, suffering from untreated frostbite, overgrown hooves, broken bones, and parasites. Following an investigation in cooperation with the Suffolk County District Attorney Office’s Biological Environmental Animal Safety Team (BEAST), Double D Bar Ranch charged with 112 counts of animal cruelty and multiple counts of contempt of court. Humane Long Island worked with authorities to remove approximately 400 animals from the property and took custody of 160 animals ourselves.
