Seems like everytime I check out the news this week there's an animal abuse story...it's sickening!

 

--Quote from article--

 

PINE GROVE, Pa.  —  A woman stockpiled cat food donated to her purported animal sanctuary and resold some of it, leaving dozens of animals to go hungry, to finance a drug habit, police said.

Virginia Kresge Justiniano, who had run the Cats With No Names sanctuary since 1996, was charged with drug possession after being stopped for a traffic violation Saturday.

I agree with Catherine J.
I think this is sad and hope that the animals and the woman get the help they need.

It's no wonder job screening and drug tests are so stringent these days. How sad.

And the story should end...

"And to rectify the situation, she was fed to the cats."

That;s just awful people should have punishment fitting to the crime....and that is a crime....if you don't want the animals, there are plenty of others who do....
