A mission called "Operation Noah's Ark" might sound like fun, but for members of the Nassau Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), an eight-hour raid on a Long Island house wasn't exactly a good time. After receiving complaints from neighbors about the stench and noise coming from a certain house, workers came to check it out—and found more than 400 animals inside. "The stench was so bad, investigators had to put on hazmat suits," a local news story stated. Among the animals removed from the property were "more than 250 birds and more than 150 turtles … along with four reptiles and a dozen mammals," all living in filthy conditions.

Possible Preaching Angle:

Pretty disgusting, right? Hopefully none of us have been hoarding hundreds of animals, but most of us have probably been hoarding some things—whether in our homes or in our minds and hearts—that need to be released and let go.
