Text message indicates small animals sent to HSSA processed as food for reptiles [View all]
TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The Humane Society of Southern Arizona now believes the small animals transferred to Tucson from San Diego, then to a private party in the Phoenix area, may have ended up being processed as food for reptiles.
In August, SDHS sent an estimated 318-323 animals, including guinea pigs, rats, rabbits and hamsters, to Tucson citing that it had reached capacity.
The HSSA then transferred the pets to a private, family owned rescue in Maricopa County, owned by Colten Jones.
One day after receiving the animals, Colten Jones sent a text message seeking help in processing a high volume of Guinea pigs and rabbits for food, according to the news release from the Humane Society of Southern Arizona.
