According to MSNBC A registered Nurse in Pennsylvania took in over 7,000 cats in a 14 month period and kept them at her 29-acre property. Upon investigation of her property they found close to 150 dogs living in two mobile homes as well.According to John Welch, spokesman for the Riverside Department of animal services " There were inches-thick feces, urine stained walls, cages stacked high with starving animals, dead and rotting carcasses, trash, fleas; maggots and diseases".
When I read this article I could not help but be sickened.
This educated woman Linda Bruno ran a "shelter" with employees who aided her in the process. What person in their right mind would take in that many animals knowing they could not provide proper care. What gets me is that she only spent one day in jail, had to perform community service, pay fines and vow never to run another rescue again. Are you kidding me? This woman kills hundreds if not thousands of animals by lethal injection (which I agree is humane) but what about all the other animals that suffered for days, weeks and months on end? What about the other people who aided her in this torture? They get nothing?
While I am reading this story and writing this blog I have my two little dachshunds lying at my feet and think how their lives might be today if someone besides me had wanted to "rescue" them. As an animal lover I make frequent visits to the humane society (which usually brings me to tears while I am there) and to any pet store in the area. All these animals want and need is someone to take care of them and to love them. Ms. Bruno Karma is a bad thing and I am a true believer that what goes around comes around.
I hope my response to your post doesn't come off mean, but I just feel angry right now after reading it. You did a great job with the flow of your post. I think your format looked great and it was easy to follow because I was immediately pulled in. I, like you am a believer of what comes around goes around. Those animals were helpless and held against their will. OOOH I am so angry! Great post Susan!
