  • disgusting.....

  • no one can deny the proof . i watched a couple of that susan talking and acting like an honest angel and loving animal lover and then checked out this video . THE PROOF IS IN FRONT OF OUR EYES .and i believe what i see here . NOT SUSANS LIES . shame on you animal angels gate .

  • OMG...and I don't find this amusing as I have seen in some of the posts here. This is not an isolated thing. Neglectful animal care facilities are being uncovered each day. We can't depend on PETA (I am not a part of PETA) to make things right. It would help a lot if we got our pets spayed and neutered so that population won't be so large that homeless animals are running around...

  • bad camera shots are bad....

    

  • Tuxie the cat has a nice haircut.

  • Sorry, PETA. But you standing around and doing nothing is almost as heinous as what she's doing.

  • Disgusting slob, is she jailed yet ?

  • This is so hard to even watch. How people can let themselves stoop this low is difficult to comprehend, but thank you for bringing the truth. A light has to be shined into these dark corners of society, the innocents released & the guilty punished.

  • has peta done anything with this???

  • CALL THE POLICE!!!!!!!

  • I was very upset about this video ,If a dog or cat or just any animal if there is not one thing to help a pet to have a good life ,don't let them suffer like that ,you may thing your helping but your not ,I feel so sorry for the pets this lady had .

  • And Miss Susan Marino actually calls this torture chamber an animal hospice? TSK. She is a fat, lazy, useless, disgraceful poser who sits around on her fat ass all day and watches these animals suffer. If you aren't going to take the time to care for the animals, why take the animals in your house in the first place? She's a fucking animal hoarder. She knows what she's doing is filthy and wrong, and she does nothing to stop it. And I doubt she'll serve any time for it. She is a disgusting person

  • she treated these poor babys terribly, let them suffer when they were sick, left them lying in ther beds as they died slow painfull deaths. she is a disgusting sorry excuse of a human. she is a monster. she needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and she has to be jailed, for the suffering, neglect and cruelty she did to these animals. she is disgusting.

  • She got over a million dollars in donations from Oprah, Rachel Ray and people who sent donations for her "selfless" contribution to these poor little creatures. What she did was buy herself a big home in upstate New York and didn't hire the proper personnel to help her care for these animals. And all she is going to get is maybe $1,000 fine and one year in jail! HORRIFIC!!!!! The evilness of GREED.

  • Oh my God! Makes me sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • They need to document the abuse to get officials to intervene.

  • Someday, Susan Marino will no longer be able to take care of herself, as she ages. Perhaps she would enjoy the same treatment she gave these desperate, dying animals during their last hours on earth. With her remark at the end about it being a good thing that her hospice house wasn't investigated for violations and laughing, she is clearly admitting to the fact that the animals were being kept in horrific conditions and being denied proper care.

    I truly hope she suffers horribly before dying.

  • There is no way i could have seen those animals and done nothing to help them that poor pony died a horriable death choking on infection from a case of strangles that could have been treated with a vets care

  • It is obvious PETA MUST get video tapes of horrific conditions animals are forced to live in so they can present EVIDENCE to the authorities to go in and do something. PETA is in the right here - good for them, I will be sure to continue to remain a member and give when I can.

  • I am horrified, sick to my stomach, and disgusted that Susan Marino and people out there like her exist. I am not able to comprehend the mental capacity as to why she and others feel animal cruelty is acceptable. Do you not have a heart or a soul Susan? Are you not ashamed for the cruel treatment these animals had to endure. These animals have a heart, they have a soul and they should be treated as such. They never had a chance.

  • What is Oprah's position now?

    Is She aware?

    Will she show this?

  • This just kills me - I know this video will haunt me for a long time. How is it that someone who is supposed to be rescuing and caring for animals can do THIS to them? How can anyone do this to an animal that depends solely upon humans for their care and only want to be loved and give love? I don't agree with everything PETA does, but I applaud them for videotaping this and getting the word out on this woman and her facility. Hopefully, she will never be allowed to run an animal shelter again.

  • TO ALL WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND that someone cannot just go onto another person's property & take their possessions...the purpose of this, AND ALL OF PETA'S undercover investigations, IS to save the animals within the law. PETA is constantly helping animals...& if you don't believe that, it's simply because you aren't paying attention to all of their accomplishments for animal welfare.

  • these animals need to be put out of their misery. just so sad, the horrific quality of life here. what is most important, though, is that she needs to be put in prison. I don't know why she thinks she's doing a good thing; she's just letting them suffer.

  • "This caged cat died within a week after this video was shot".

    That is so sad. At least Susan Marino has been charged.

  • There's a reason that humane euthanasia exists and these poor animals deserve to feel at peace! When the quality of life disappears, it is cruel to keep them suffering. And as for people saying PETA is in the wrong for videotaping this and not picking everybody up and taking them out, this video is called evidence! It would be a whole mess if they just walked in and started taking animals out. At least they went in, got the evidence, and handed it over. Now the lady can pay for what she's done.

  • This woman needs to be in jail. I do not care if she is a hoarder. It is uncalled for, she has gotten 100's of thousands of donations to care for these animals and where has it gone?? I am sickened by this treatment and people like her!

  • the animals look like they are in her house, shes just an animal horder, I wonder what she did with all the money given to her.

  • PETA seems to love to show the world all the wrong doing of people, yet I have never heard of or seen them help any animals. In a case like this, why didn't you call police? They would respond to complaint, then call animal control. You state you are a group to help animals, yet I never see you do much but sit back and watch them suffer and die. This is just another example of just that...

  • @icedman11 Did you read the description underneath the video? Susan Marino, the woman who ran this shelter has been charged with animal cruelty! I'm no lawyer, but I know that PETA must work within the confines of the law in order to be able to continue helping animals.

  • @icedman11 (#1) Before PETA even hears about these things, local people have confronted the monster, contacted police/authorities (plural maybe), and spread the word. Don't you think their are penalties to doing whatever the hell you want? In this backwards country-- i hate to burst your proud bubble-- scumbags like this have MORE rights than right thinking savior orgs. (More--)

  • @icedman11 (#2-- cont.) Also, when someone volunteers to trespass onto private (in this case) or commercial property to video these horrors, or spend wks/mos gaining a job and moving into position for access to gather enough footage for PETA... (they're risking a LOT of legal jeopardy: the govt already has animal rights groups labelled "domestic terrorists", and now with the NDAA... ) Do you think it's all because they and PETA think watching torture tapes is hot?! (more--)

  • @icedman11 (#3--cont.) Do you think the volunteers who get the footage for all the PETA videos are "DOT ORG Special Agents" and are above the law somehow? ...Or trust fund-babies looking for excitement? ..That they can handle jail and fines (usually to the extent of the law) and can weather the courts because they've got a bigger legal team than the meat & poultry industry?

    No... They're regular folk like you and me, taking real risks. They DON"T do it for kicks.

  • @icedman11 by exposing this woman and her "supposed" sanctuary for special needs animals, no more animals will EVER need to suffer at her hands anymore! THAT is what PETA has done to help animals! The animals able to be saved were taken from here and given the care they SHOULD have been given in the first place and what she was receiving donations to do for them!

  • @icedman11 The record of help is profound, and is easy to research. Once you do, you will probably want to lend your help, too.

  • @icedman11 because they cant blow they're cover untill they have gathered enough evadents to prove there doing wrong things for the police to see

  • Susan Marino, you mustn't lie about suffering. I know you realize those animals are feeling pain. A lot of it. When it comes to pain, they can experience agony too, just as accurately.

  • i can't even watch :(

  • I agree, save the animals, don't tape them! All those animals YOU say died due to no care, why didn't you care for them?

  • What the heck is wrong with this picture? If you are taping this horrific condition WHY were you NOT TAKING the ANIMALS out of this to a SAFE place? You PETA are just as GUILTY as the offenders at ANGEL ( HELLS ) Gate ...PETA YOU ARE in the WRONG here in not just acting and just recording this

  • @theskizzled You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Relax your troll instincts and flex your brain. Lemme guess-- you also think OWS are a bunch of idiots wasting their time?

  • @theskizzled Don't you understand that legalities exist, or the animals could be returned to this horror? The person revealing this put themselves at risk to bring forth this info, and deserves great respect.

  • Is this place closed down now?

  • Omg this brings tears to my eyes, f*cking bitch... I hope to God this place is shut down and she's is allowed nowhere near an animal again....

    

  • What is PETA doing to shut this place down if this is going on? I heard that this has been open and running for a long time. Why do I keep seeing video tapes from PETA all the time but no way to help, other than donate money? What action is taken to help the animals?

  • this is terrible!

  • omg I am sickened!

  • What a stupid fucking bitch. If I ever saw that lady I'd have no choice but to beat her upside the head until she was just a stump of a woman

  • I hope these animals are safe now, and what is really sad is Susan Marino used to be sane. She wrote an incredible book about her animals that were rescued and how she cared for them. Obviously this is hell for these animals and as a rescuer of old and disabled dogs myself, this is a place you can't go. You can't save them all,quality of life is the ultimate goal and euthanasia is a blessing sometimes

  • Go PETA!

  • I am shocked reading about this and watching this video. I guess things were different at her location in 2005 when she wrote the book Getting Lucky. Very shameful.

    And where's her husband throughout this disaster? He was helping her with the animals in 2005. I'd bet if he had been around, this wouldn't have been allowed to happen.

  • This "person" has a disease and she should not be allowed to have these animals. Break her legs and let her drag herself on the ground for weeks upon weeks!

  • Why is this lady in business? and thanks to the brave person who has exposed her. This is ANIMAL CRUELTY AND ABUSE!!!!! HOW CAN WE SHUT HER DOWN?

  • Action is being taken to classify this kind of investigation as "terrorist activity." Write your congressperson and tell them that this kind of undercover work is essential.

    I was not able to watch the whole video, but appreciate that you brought it to everyone's attention. Any updates on the status of these poor animals? Part of gaining support is to show that what you are doing succeeds in fixing the problem otherwise it is just voyeurism.

  • This place needs to be closed immediately!  All those poor souls suffering needlessly!

  • peta accually doing something good??? i hope this woman gets what she deserves!!!

  • I dont know WTF is going on there and why its still carrying on...What is wrong with these people??????????

    

  • I know what is seen is here is very wrong, but (not to defend) there is a HUGE lack of space that I can see. Is there other places in her area that has denied or made available help for those that she cant help, or to take some off her hands? She's WAY overloaded, it's beyond her ability to mange and help these guys

  • This is the Gates of Hell and these animals are worse now than before. Death by humane euthanasia is far better for them and the evil person who runs the place needs to rot in the hell she created.

  • She needs her head beat in sorry this is bullshit.Lazy ass politicians need to start doing there job.There nothing but a waste of are money Sorry pieces of shit low life trash i don't care how much money they have.Sorry but a few day's ago i found a dog tied to the porch of a abandoned house with a electric cord emanciated left to starve to death.Even though i'm not a rescue i took the dog and i'm nursing her back to health.I'm tired of seeing this and the elected officials do nothing.

  • Why has she not been closed down and put behind bars?

  • this just broke my heart

  • What an evil person. Hope these soulless people are exposed!

  • Has it been shut down yet?

  • It's a shame, as I'm sure originally she had good intentions, but this place is terrible, has it been shut down yet??

  • SPAY NEUTER SPAY NEUTER SPAY NEUTER SPAY NEUTER SPAY NEUTER SPAY NEUTER SPAY NEUTER SPAY NEUTER SPAY NEUTER SPAY NEUTER SPAY NEUTER

    SPAY NEUTER SPAY NEUTER SPAY NEUTER SPAY NEUTER ...................

  • Maybe drugs are Marino's real business and the animal rescue was just a front.

  • That Woman Needs Her ASS KICKED I HATE ANIMAL ABUSERS

  • How terrible, I am horrified! How come nobody done anything about it and let this go on for so long? Hell on Earth, and they call it Hospice and Rehabilitation Centre! That is not Angels Gate, that is Hell Gate!

  • since the video has been shot what is being done???????

  • That bi*ch deserves to suffer, she should go to hell. People like her should be in jail, in fact, the people like her shouldn't even exist! I hate animal abuse, and I hate people like her! This makes me soooo angry :@

  • Is this her home? Animal horder hiding as rescue.

  • i'm not going to watch this after reading the comments. every fucking devil that does things like this to inisent animals should burn in hell.

  • We need to advertise stuff like this on billboards to wake up people from their advertisement- induced comas of fast food, new cars, casino, insurance company and everything else that you find on billboards.

  • I couldn't be an undercover investigator. I'd probably beat the bejesus out of this woman.

  • I hear the DA has filed charges against her for animal cruelty...one small victory

  • Wow. This is disgusting, horrifying, and unbearably cruel. This woman obviously does not care about animals! She should be made to suffer like the animals did. This is so sad and makes me very angry! Thank you PETA for your investigative work!

  • I don't understand what's appropriate to show that this stuff is TERRIBLE

    .. do I thumbs up this video ? OR

    .. do I thumbs down this video?

  • so sick

  • that "women" urgently needs treatment! and, we as society have to act ; Time to go out of hell!!!!

  • Im With some of the ppl that have comented on this What is Peta Doing Besides Video Tapping this ...?

  • this is sooooo terrible and sad! That lady deserves to go to jail for the rest of her life!!!

  • This is extremely sad :'(

  • You should be saving these animals instead of video tapping them,

  • @kayleeraepeterman96 she wants the money she gets! Is always about the money!!!

  • @kayleeraepeterman96 the reason they are video taping is to save them silly

  • @kayleeraepeterman96 If you worked in animal rescue everyday you would know the videotaping is the only way to get results I have been calling animal control on this group since 2008! No one cared. Now the video is out and bingo results. Good job Peta.

  • @kayleeraepeterman96 Without video evidence, there isn't much of a case.

  • @kayleeraepeterman96 By raising public awareness, it becomes more likely that police action will be taken.

    That said, Angel's Gate had a long history of taking good care of its animals. The end of the video even mentions that at her previous facility, there wasn't even *one* case of animal mistreatment. That makes me wonder what happened to change things. Since the KSL article linking to this bluntly says that the video has been edited to mislead, it makes me wonder what was taken out.

  • Angel's gate? more like Hell's gate.

  • Looks more like a hoarding situation.

  • what sort of a place is this?? Horrifying, truly horrifying :(

  • She reminds me of Susie Wilks in Misery

  • So what is PETA doing about Angel's Gate NOW?

  • resembles Kindergarten classes at LAUSD ... caveat emptor ... yes animals and children first if we expect respect for our legendary time here on this planet

  • i cried watching this, she should be shut down and put in jail..

  • @BelindaK27

    Yes, she should have let them die at the shelter.

  • is she in jail yet? by her comments she seems to think everything's peachy-keen and that she's a saint for "caring for" these animals. i mean, seriously...is she mentally ill?

  • Shut her down! What's with these people - looks like similar hoarding cases where it's all about the "good" that THEY are doing. SICKO

  • What is the point...I am here is no one is asking me or even you help nor or we reaching out to give help...at least they are trying! wHAT THE HELL ARE PEOPLE LIKE US DOING NOTHING!!!!

  • What is PETA's opinion on taxidermy (with animals that died of natural causes) ?

  • That's just SICK

  • Why and how does it still exist?

  • and people give PETA crap when they don't like hearing the truth about the food on their plates. Think about it, if we didn't have PETA, we wouldn't know about this horrible old bitch abusing the animals we already know and love, dogs and cats. All animals are the same, and none of them deserve to suffer. I am a recent convert to veganism and animal rights, so change is possible :)

  • this is one of the saddest things i have seen. in some ways, people liken this are worse than people who intentionally cause animals to suffer. this person is supposed to be providing help and showing the world how easily we can all help animals. much can be said about PETA and how militant they are, but no one can dispute the great work they do for animals such as these.

  • If this woman couldn't afford treatment, then why not hand them over to someone who can? I'm sure there's alot of real pet shelters who can treat and rehome!

    It's not an excuse... she chose this and it's her responsibility.

    There's more to it than just giving food and beds...

  • what the poor dogs has done?

    they get something from thet?

  • Freaking People!! OMG this makes me SOO angry!! These people should be tortured in prison!

  • You know, It took some guts for this lady to even start a place like this up.

    1.) This isnt a facility bleeding hearts...that is a House. If you couldnt tell by the cribs in the corner and the lack of good facilities. Wouldnt it be obvious that this place isnt built to support this large demand of animals

    2.) If she could afford better treatment for these animals, DONT YOU THINK SHE WOULD!? Quit jumping on the bandwagon and use sense! Instead of B*tching about it, see if you can help her. DUH!

  • @Vicieron that is precisely the point. she is in no position to care for so many animals, and the fact that she didn't just admit that and contact another organisation for help is proof that she is a bad egg. look at all those wheel carts on the fence, which she COULD have been using. so many animal supporters would pay money to her, under the false assumption it would be used to treat animals.

  • c'est triste 

  • OMG THE CAT JUST BROKE MY HEART :(

    HOW DO THESE WORKERS NOT HAVE A HEART AND NOT HELP THESE ANIMALS

    smhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • This woman shouldn't be allowed to LOOK at these animals, let alone touch them. This really breaks my heart.

  • @Troghen I hope she gets major prison time for this, its just disgusting. She's the same, in my eyes, as a serial killer who tortures their victims before they kill them/let them die :(

  • I couldn't be a PETA investigator because I'd blow the cover by crying and helping the animals if i could. And i'd also slap any of those people involved!!

  • I cried and had to stop watching for the 2nd dog because I felt too ill. I also REALLY hate that woman!!!!!!!

  • This video made me so mad,if you aren't organized enough and can't take good care of these animals,give them to someone who can.Fucking idiot.

  • This is horrible. I cried watching this. How can they not treat the animals. :'(

  • so sad :( hate seeing the dead animals, especially cats. they could of all been saved.

  • this hurts my heart ):

  • Thats terrible, what the hell is going on with this woman?!? I hope something is done soon for those poor little animals

  • Awful !

    It may sound cruel but these ppl who make animal suffer dont deserve to live.

    Love the animals and they love you ! Love PETA !

  • This lady is sick. Why myth these innocent animals through more torture than their already going through. It makes me sad! This woman should of been in jail a long time ago!

  • People if you care so much go and help them, go to the facility bang on the doors adopt the dogs pay for real vets and help out. You need funding? Ask for donations. Sitting on your ass at home crying won't solve anything. Writing letters and emails, or making phone calls doesn't change anything. Taking action is what helps them. Also people can't stand when people complain but respect people who take action.

  • I really hope the owners of this "HELL'S GATE" Facility get caught.. and never be allowed to own animals ever again!!! I hope i dont ever see their face in public!

  • If I were an animal I'd rather die like honestly how can people stand to sit back and watch this happen..

  • is this facility still open? isn't she in prison? i feel like vomiting! as I wrote in the email I sent SUSAN THE MONSTER - "DEVIL is looking forward to meeting you in HELL!"

  • once upon a time, history like these dogs repeats itself over and over again, turning in tiny circles in their heads because it is all they know. Then I should blame history for inventing the circle and the dogs for repeating then everybody can blame the lady holding the dog and not caring very well for any of them. At this stage of history, the circle of repetitions has become so THICK, there is nothing to be done, write or say safely without having the THICKEST repeating the whole thing again

  • I would rather these animals be put to sleep then go through this.

  • Close down this horrid operation.

  • Shame on you lady. SHAME ON YOU.

    You are the lowest of the low. Pretending to care for dying animals and receiving good money for it i guess. Bah you make me sick.

  • Why is stuff like this even allowed? :"[

  • what can one do to help?

  • This is "Doing her best" ? No. I am a veterinary technician, licensed in the state of NY, THIS IS NOT care. If it's too much to handle THEN DONT DO IT. Shame on this woman. I want to help animals, but I can't, know what I do? I DONT FILL MY HOUSE WITH ANIMALS. These pets had people, they didn't just come from space, where the hell are those people now? Companion animals are a lifetime commitment, not just a "while they're cute, in good health, only when it's easy" Shame on her.

  • @vegansuperhero80

    U sir, are a great man! go on with what you are doing..

  • she probably pockets the donations, and shoves most of the poor animals into a few rooms while they die a slow and painful death, while she sits around and solicits more donation. she obviously preys on those who have compassion towards animals.

  • This is pathology !!! Nobody could explain me how those people think !!! Do they think at all??? Just getting money from the Government. Go PeTA

  • thank god they didnt come to this house?? omg yeah GOD knows u cruel woman

  • This is so sickening. I'm so disgusted of how far humans would go to not care for these animals. I hope these people pay for what they have done.

  • I pray this place will be closed down SOON, and the director charged accordingly. This is dispicable. Everyone please click the link in the description below the video so you can sign, and forward your support to their state.

  • I just wanted to point out that this woman was on the Oprah show a long time ago, the fact that I along with so many other people once thought of her as a hero is sickening.

  • I don't understand how someone could do this and be okay with it, she makes me sick.

  • :C I feel horrible right now, poor little babies, how can this be possible?

  • Wow. I'm speechless.....but is's horrible.

  • they've been on Oprah, and look great in print

  • aww :( poor poor animals... i hate how they are treated these days...

  • I just can't aunderstand why this peopleteat this poor animals like this!!! :(, close that hell place

  • is this legal?

  • @LEMONVirus99 yes it sucks but yes

  • @LEMONVirus99 nope

  • @LEMONVirus99

    Please go think about that...

    Dont ask... think about it...

    should be obviously...

  • Omg . 

  • Sounds more like 'Hell's gate' to me

  • now this is sad!!!!!

  • This is so SHOCKING, it makes me sick and furious!!!

    POOR POOR HELPLESS ANIMALS, IT IS A GREAT SHAME !!!!

  • Go PETA! :)

  • oh my god.. this is horrible.

  • what is the point of this video if no one is doing anything about this? why even show these animals dying, why not help them ....isnt that more important

  • gosh this is so sad. they all deserve love and care

  • I AM THE FIRST OK THAY CALLS THES ANGEL'S GATE! NO I CALL IT HELL GATE! DON'T KNOW HOW TO CARE FOR THE ANIMALS THAT HELL GATE HAVE!

  • So sad. Even when you think animals have found a safe place they are suffering. This is unforgivable.

  • This is horrible! I can't even put into words how bad this is!

  • Made me cry. Lets close this place down.

  • wow thats sad how those animals are left to die when they are hurt

  • This is disgusting!

  • What happened to that place?

  • Can't you get this place shut down? This is horrible.

  • Dear god. What is wrong with people,

    PETA thanks to you for making us aware of this cruel place! I am beyond disgusted. Calling themselves "angels"

    Truly sick. I hope this women is punished.

    She certainly won't be seen as an "angel" at the pearly gates.

  • Just heartbreaking

  • great investigation
