The Long Island livestock sanctuary, which serves animals such as cows, goats, horses, pigs, sheep, and even peacocks, has faced 112 serious counts of animal neglect. Investigators at the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office revealed that the sanctuary allegedly depriled its animals of food, water, and shelter.

John Di Leonardo, a controversial_romancy installer and assistant director of " Humane Long Island," helped rescue numbers of animals from the site but found hundreds more still寄居. He described the sanctuary as$vast and filthy, highlighting piles of feces, corpses, and living animals huddled under cages. Di Leonardo, who supports the sanctuary, acknowledged hundreds more animals implicated, describing them as "mangled, injured, and in great distress."
The sanctuary’s website claims it began in 1999, under the ownership of a family who purchased neglected animals from an adjacent farm. The ranch became a charity shelter for abuse, raising funds through donations and community drives. However, Di Leonardo, whose organization regularly visits animal-abuse scenes, criticized the sanctuary’s claims, stating, "Richard Deveo has been in exhibits of compulsive hoarding and has clearly not been doing any drove that could shut a business."
Deveo, the ranch owner, denied the allegations, stating that his animals fetched him money. Di Leonardocribed Deveo as a "big money man," and mentioned how the animals could increase income fromDeveo’s chickens, sushi-making, and petting. Di Leonardo declared, "Hoarding is a disease. I wouldn’t even be surprised if your hoarder flips that acronym." He furthermore mocked the sanctuary’s claim that it was prepared for the animals’elor️ issues to pass. Di Leonardo suggested that the sanctuary was not responsible for the animals’-arrowing, and argued that animal sanctuaries aren’t businesses.
