Hello,

Iintend sign the petition, but wanted to know about thesuggestion of "psychiatric counselling". Is it reportedsheactually mentally ill?

Because my understanding is that ifa personis not,ie thattheyarejustcruel and choosing to be bad, like most perpetrators of serious crime,then wouldnt suggesting she is mentally ill result in diminishedresponsiblity? But maybe the American system is different from theBritish one.

Just a small point, hope you dont mind me querrying it.Iwould like to also sayI agree with the previous posts incondemning this henious crime. She should never be allowed near animalsagain.

I believe I had read earlier that this was a case of a"hoarder". It is believed that these people are well intendedbut are compelled to hoard animals they are not able to properly carefor -- however, in their minds, they are doing the best for the animal.

As this article puts it -- they literally "love the animals todeath". I found this article very informative, as it presentsboth sides of the issue.

I have also not signed the petition (although am also heartbroken overthe incident). I see far more of an outcry when animals areabused then when children are -- and I find this more thanalittle disturbing.

Thanks for your reply and link Pam. It was an interesting article, although an upsetting topic clearly.

The link above will help explain the reason for seeking mandatorypsychiatric counseling in all cases on animalabuse/cruelty/neglect.

The abuser in this case was not a hoarder. She providedveterinary care for her dogs and cats, she just did not place the samevalue of life on her rabbits. She left them to die in herback yard, bodies piles up, abcesses were visible on the survivingrabbits, she fed them only bread and filthy water. She livedin a nice house and had money to feed them. She chose NOTto. She abused these poor rabbits and other rabbits for aperiod of ten years. Any one who could do this isin need of psychiatric counseling. This was the act of acruel person, not someone who was too mentally ill to realize what shewas doing. She works full time and was fully capable ofcaring for these rabbits, it was not important enoughto herto do so.

Anyone who could do that to an animal is capable of doing the same to ahuman, counseling is to hopefully prevent the cross over.Imagineleaving achild in her care.

Here is another case the House Rabbit Society was involved with whichended in a guilty finding for the rabbit abusers on 4/13/05http://www.luckyrabbit.org

The abusers in the Lucky the Rabbit case were sentenced to 3 monthsjail, and 3 years probation during which time they are not allowed toown or be around animals, and must undergo intense psychiatriccounseling.
