FORWARD TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Humane officers raided a home in Forward Township Thursday.

Officers say they responded after neighbors complained of the stench coming from the residence on Mentor Road.

Officers found 74 animals -- ranging from dogs, cats, ferrets to birds -- living in deplorable conditions.

One of the people who lived in the residence was Jim Willis, author of inspirational animal books, such as "Pieces of My Heart -- Writings Inspired By Animals and Nature," "The Animals' Savior," and "The Basset Chronicles."

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.
And I was angry.
"God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?"
God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly.
"I have done something," He replied.
"I created You."
