130 dead cats found in home
Fulton County authorities call it one of the worst cases of animal abuse in county history: more than 100 cats found dead inside a two-story house in an affluent subdivision in Alpharetta.

One hundred and thirty-four cats lay strewn across every room of the house on Alstonefield Drive when animal services officials were called Feb. 1.

An additional 26 severely malnourished cats were found, said Susan Feingold, assistant director of county animal services. They were taken to a local animal clinic where they are being cared for until they are strong enough to be put up for adoption, she said.

4. She may be mentally ill or simply over her head.

Some people take in strays, they don't want the cats picked up by animal control people.

And they get in too far over their heads, taking in too many.

More sad than mean.

Unlike "Senator" and "Doctor" Bill Frist. :mad:
That MF'er liked to "practice" on stray cats.

5. I have about 8 strays who run to me when I get home from work
wanting food. I feed them every day. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help myself.

6. Between this and the story either last week or the week before
about the woman starving and beating a dog, then just throwing it away in a cage in a dumpster......I'm really starting to seriously HATE people.

This is just crap. Pure, unadulterated crap.

7. here is the situation
I know someone personally who has been arrested for animal cruelty in almost the same way as this person. This person is mentally ill. They love pets and can't help themselves. They actually don't see them. They do not mean to be cruel, they can't help themselves. My friend absolutely loves pets but he is just mentally ill.

8. Yes, it's called "animal hoarding" and it is a symptom of mental
illness.
