Large-scale animal hoarding!
Posted by: TheMeeper ()
Date: December 30, 2009 08:34AM

Some woman down in Mt. Vernon gets busted with a house full of neglected cats, birds, and assorted small mammals. They even had to bring in the Hazmat crews.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/29/AR2009122903516.html

What the hell would compel someone to keep dozens of animal carcasses laying around the house? You'd think three or four would be enough, but I guess some people just get carried away.

The article cites another incident in FFX where some lady had 488 cats in her house. 488!!

Megan Barber, 33, was charged by summons with animal cruelty and being an unfit animal owner, Caldwell said. A sticker was placed on the house declaring it uninhabitable.

being crazy facilitates such behavior. it's a good thing they have fixed the problem... legally at least.

Reminds me of the show Hoarders on A&E. Great show. A&E is basically The Mental Illness Channel now, with shows like Hoarders and Intervention.

She had all these animals, and some of them weren't even vaccinated?? That sounds like a complete health hazard!

She was only 33? Wow. You would expect that type of behavior from some 65+ lady.

21 seperate infractions, not to mention the new charges she will face for the animals. Sounds like a revolving-door policy for traffic infractions. Driving without insurance and six seperate charges for an unlicensed vehicle. How did she still have a car? Shouldn't it have been impounded at some point?

What a mess this one person created, with your taxes now providing the clean-up services.

Sounds like she needed some rescuing herself.

It's a real psychological condition; I've read animal hoarding is an extreme form of obsessive compulsive disorder.

I always thought it would be a real fun radio stunt to see how many live cats listeners could get in their house for a prize. I've called a few shows with my idea, they always blow me off. (?)

Wow, Cops really nailed her for no valid stickers. From the looks of it, the median time for getting a ticket for expire stickers is about once every three months.

Unvac. animal is a crime?
I wouldve guess just a FINE.
But I guess with all this money we
dump into our ILLEGAL ALIEN programs,
we don't have any left over to
give free vac. to low-income families.

What a pathetic country we are "change"-ing into!

This isn't just for old women.

We had a crazy cat lady a few doors down from me across the street a few years back, she was in her 30s. She was kind of wierd, didn't talk much, and she had a snake which bit her in the face once. The paramedics drove her to the hospital with the snake still stuck to her face because they didn't know what to do about it.

She actually had a live-in boyfriend, and I spoke to the guy once or twice. He was a little rednecky, but I can't understand how he could stand the smell in that place. The next door neighbor called the county on her and they kicked everyone out of the house and posted the door. The back yard was grown over and there were critters living in it. Cats were shitting and pissing all over the house, on the kitchen counters and appliances, and in the fucking walls.

The woman's parents owned the place, and after a while of pracrastinating they finally had a contractor come in and redo the whole place and then sold it.

Jesus. I bet it was less "procrastination" and more "having trouble finding a contractor willing to scoop ancient kitty poop out of the walls."

I think it was fighting with the insurance company or something. Plus they probably owed the HOA and had to pay fines or something. All legal stuff.
