Orange County seized 84 animals from Linda Hickey’s home due to neglect, following a 2023 incident and pending charges.
Authorities in Orange County, New York, seized 84 animals—including prairie dogs, hedgehogs, a wallaby, ferrets, and degus—from Linda Hickey’s Warwick home after two search warrants and concerns over poor living conditions.
The animals were transferred to Animal Nation Rescue, where many required urgent medical care, including specialized treatments like kangaroo milk for the wallaby.
The rescue group, already overwhelmed, struggled to accommodate the influx.
This follows a 2023 incident in which over a hundred animals were removed from the same property due to neglect.
Officials noted Hickey had hosted children’s parties using the animals.
She was scheduled to appear in court, with new charges pending.
Her attorney maintains she is presumed innocent.
