If you put "kids" in place of "animals', well - you wouldn't have
"breeders" (uh in the way that we do for cats), they wouldn't have a city
organization devoted to euthanizing (sometimes inhumainely), or they
wouldn't be running loose on the street clawing thru the garbage - well not
as much. And people might care more.

Ah...no..you'll get the more emotional response from me if you leave
"animals" just where it is...
I love kids too, but at least they can speak up in the same language.
Trust me....people who delibertly or through ignorance hurt animals &
children...well, they are the lowest of the low.
I DO believe she should be punished...and it never occured to me that she
had done something delibertly to hasten their deaths, but fixing a
problem, or trying too does more in the long run than just punishing for
the acts... This woman is prob. a "collector" who got in over her
head...then who do you go too? Your friends and family think you're
nuts...just "get rid of them, they're ONLY animals..." but it would break
your heart to do so, no one understands so you'll just do it all
yourself..you'll show them....
I believe she needs therapy first...then it can be decided HOW to
proceed...were the acts intentional...out of frustration....or the
by-product of over empathy that turned into a logic & reality breakdown?
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. God help us all.
