Elderly L.A. woman's in-home menagerie included 120 fat rats
Police in Los Angeles say they found Wanda Langstom, 81, living in "deplorable conditions" with 120 rats, 25 rabbits, six parakeets, a quail, a cockatiel and a dog.
"The woman had no food in the house for herself and seemed disoriented. Her arms were covered with open wounds apparently caused by animal bites. LAPD's Mental Evaluation Unit was called to assist. The woman surrendered to their care willingly," a spokeswoman for the city's animal services agency tells City News Service.
The Daily Breeze says most of the animals were in good shape "but feces littered the house."
The rats -- some weighing half a pound -- are up for adoption, along with the other animals. Any takers? The Los Angeles TImes says you can learn more about adopting the animals from the Harbor Animal Care Center.
