For the classroom
Humane World for Animals helped move 951 chinchillas out of a breeding facility called R & R Chinchilla in Jenera, Ohio. The U.S. Department of Justice asked for the rescue. Responders took 642 chinchillas in October and 309 more on November 3. A chinchilla is a small, soft animal with a bushy tail. The 951 is the total number moved off the property in those two trips, and the animals are no longer at that facility.
