Couple in Nice, France, banned from keeping an animal. Dozens of dehydrated animals, suffering from malnutrition and covered in parasites and lesions were found in 2023 in the couple's home.
In a bathroom, investigators also found the bodies of at least two cats and two puppies. A psychiatric assessment noted a “Noah syndrome”, a need to save animals which turns into a denial of one’s own limits.. The couple lived in total with 159 cats and seven dogs in an 80 m2 apartment.
