Approximately 100 animals were removed during a raid of a Philadelphia home Wednesday evening.



The raid happened at about 6 p.m. inside a home in the 700 block of Earp Street in South Philadelphia.

"We got three floors, they're in every floor, in every bedroom, every room in the property," George Bengal of the SPCA explained.

Bengal estimated approximately 100 animals, mostly Chihuahuas, were rescued from the home.

According to eyewitnesses, the floors of the home were covered in nearly two feet of animal feces.

Bengal described the woman who lived at the home as a hoarder who kept the animals inside the home.

The investigation into the home began a year ago when neighbors began complaining of an overwhelming stench coming from the house.
