单选题
Ms. Blunsden is a 38-year-old woman who lives by herself in Brooklyn, New York. She has no right to keep any animals now. A police officer told a Brooklyn court (法庭) that he had found 15 dogs and 20 cats living in a small room which was just 10 feet by 12 feet. "There was not enough place for one animal, let alone 35," he said. "The room was very dirty."
"The animals are taken good care of," Ms. Blunsden told the court. "I take them all for walks in a shopping cart (购物车)." When the court asked Ms. Blunsden why she kept so many animals, she said, "Everybody loves animals and I do, too. You may think that my room is too small for so many animals, but I think it is just right."
The court ordered the animals to be taken to a place where they could be taken good care of. The court also ordered Ms. Blunsden to get help from Dr. Eugene Wilson, whose clinic (诊所) is well-known for taking care of such cases.
People are beginning to keep many animals, and Ms. Blunsden's case will not be the only one of its kind.
