200 Animals — Including Geese and Flying Squirrels — Were 'Living in Squalor' in Home. 2 Humans Were Arrested
Authorities arrested the owner, who certified her suburban residence as a wildlife sanctuary but allegedly neglected hundreds of animals she took into her home.
The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office announced that Samantha Boyd, 57, and her partner Neal Weschler, 61, were both arrested and charged with animal cruelty and endangering an elderly person last Wednesday, Oct. 1, when authorities responded to the home after receiving a call alleging Boyd was hoarding animals at the residence.
