Oh yes Heather! Couldn't agree more..a few tortured pets don't attract as much media as a suposedly haven gone bad..not a thought abt the person and why. So a stereotype is created and thast what the media exploits w/o giving a chance to the erso to speak for themselves. Besides a story of this type attracts more attention than somebody skinning animals alive, just for the eek factor._One of those miscarriages of justice as for punishment and way it is exposed. M

I read one case recently of a man in California who was caught torturing then consuming stray cats, supposedly he was even witnessed skinning one alive (and other horrible acts), and he got a bit of community service, probation and a fine under $500. This happens all the time. Perhaps the discrepancy is solely in evidence, witnesses and the legal process, but it seems to me that hoarders are penalized more stringently than flat out torturers who commit such acts willingly, not because they got in over their heads.
