They shouldn't just throw the book at her, throw the entire law library!!!!! After reading your update, this (insert your own expletives) deserves nothing less than the maximum allowed under the law and then some

We had an abuse case here a few winters back. Some woman who was trying to pass herself off as a human being abandoned a cat in the woods on one of the coldest nights of the year. She was caught, arrested, and stood trial. Not only was she found guilty, the judge sentenced her to spend the night in the woods (on another very cold night) just like the poor cat. She was taken out there by the State Police and they stood guard all night to make sure she served the entire sentence. Way to go, Judge!!!

I find it ridiculous that she's getting up to 8 years in prison. I'm sorry, but I think she deserves at least 20. This is animal torture. Finding one dead animal that was neglected is enough... but that many animals? 8 years of her life in jail? Not including what her son has seen and learned from this situation.

Just sickening.

The good news is... according to their Web site, Lake County (IL) animal control works with two organizations to help get animals adopted. I'd heard of Save-a-Pet up in Grayslake but not Orphans of the Storm. So hopefully the surviving dogs can go to new homes when they are healthy enough to be adopted. That would be something good to come out of this.

Here is an update...

And here is happy news...

There were two cats. One has a microchip and will go back to the shelter associated with the chip. The other does not, and will go to one of the shelters that Animal Care and Control works with. (Animal Care and Control isn't set up to keep them long-term)
