A breeding facility in Jenera, Ohio, was revealed to have hundreds of chinchillas in poor conditions. Federal inspections led to the discovery of severe neglect and health issues in the animals. Humane World for Animals assisted in the rescue of 951 chinchillas, which were removed in two operations. The facility’s owner agreed to surrender the animals and cease operations regulated by the Animal Welfare Act.
