Dog hoarding crazy lady!!! 246 dogs!!!

That stupid b!tch should be put to sleep herself.

 

Not to stir the pot, but notice how its always women that do this? what is it, a warped maternal instinct thing?

 

BTW, she picked a good number.

 

I dunno what it is, but it's f*cking disgusting. I only have one dog, and don't think I take care of him enough already ... but 246? Crazy b!tch.

 

There is a local psychiatrist that had her house raided because she had dogs, cats, horses, turtles, and other animals. Most had to be put to sleep because they were so sick. There were dead dogs in the house with her.

Court forces animal hoarder to pay $50,000 in restitution
By Matthew Penix

Pontchartrain Newspapers

COVINGTON - Dr. Janis Walder, a former Lacombe psychiatrist accused of hoarding more than 100 dogs, ponies and turtles in wretched conditions last year, was ordered to pay $50,000 in restitution for cleanup efforts for the seized animals.

State Judge Raymond Childress of the 22nd Judicial District Court in Covington ordered the payment, a far cry from the $140,969 local agencies claimed it cost them to care for, sterilize and clean the animals.

On April 18 the St. Tammany Parish Animal Control, St. Tammany Sheriff's Office, city of Slidell and a number of other agencies asked the legal system to force Walder to reimburse their costs.

After reviewing the case, Childress returned his ruling - without public notice - ordering 68-year-old Walder to pay $46,679.

The magnitude of the case - believed to be the worst case of animal cruelty ever in St. Tammany - was so huge, responding agencies at the time claimed the amount of resources needed were unavailable. Many nonprofits and other animal organizations chipped in to rehabilitate and help find suitable homes for the animals.

It took several agencies days to comb through the Lacombe residence, which was littered in feces and urine. Several dead dogs were also found, many of which appeared to be half eaten by other dogs inside the home, officials at the scene reported.

Law enforcement officials raided the house on March 11, 2004, after neighbors complained of a biting stench drifting out of Walder's Fish Hatchery Road home in Lacombe. The odor was so horrendous animal workers were forced to wear face masks, some stopping to walk outside and get away from the smell. About 70 dogs were found huddled together inside the home; about 50 more were discovered locked in outside chicken coops. All of the animals were malnourished and infested with parasites. According to animal control officials, the animals locked outside were thought to have never seen a human.

In addition, 44 ponies, at least one of which was dead, were found in a mud field behind Walder's house, and seven turtles were inside her bathtub. The cleanup effort was so vast it included seven agencies. These groups petitioned the court earlier this month seeking restitution.

Walder, who pleaded guilty to 123 counts of aggravated animal cruelty last year, was ordered to five years' probation. To satisfy her probation requirement she must pay:

# $10,374 to the St. Tammany Department of Animal Services, the parish's animal shelter that housed, cleaned, fed and put up for adoption the majority of the animals seized. It had asked for about $53,000.

# $6,000 to the St. Tammany Human Society, about $6,167 less than it asked for.

# $10,985 to Lee Mauberret, a neighbor who used his own equipment to help round up, board and feed the horses before they were sold at an auction. Walder received credit for the $14,732 the horses yielded at the auction.

# $3,750 to the Slidell Animal Shelter, which took in and adopted out several dogs. It requested $15,280.

# $5,619 to Proponents of Animal Welfare, a group dedicated to the well being of animals that paid for some medical procedures and food.

# $5,000 to the Sheriff's Office, which paid officers overtime to round up horses, as well as rental fees for hauling trailers.

# $4,950 to the Southern Animal Foundation, a New Orleans non-profit shelter that had asked for $23,655 for medical procedures.

Doctors said Walder displayed classic symptoms of an animal hoarder, someone who truly believes they can care for animals better than anyone else. She was older than 50, single and lived alone.

Meanwhile, the Louisiana Board of Medical Examiners revoked Walder's medical license. She had worked as a psychiatrist at Southeast Louisiana Hospital near Mandeville before authorities raided her home.

 

Did a little search on this; these people are amazingly sick and cannot be helped, check these abstracts:

what a *****. it seems like she was trapping the animals so that they could die

 

Very interesting. Thanks for the link.

Does Tufts, or other universities, have sites where one could search for studies of other disorders?

 

Maybe she should be put in a cage and forced to wallow in her own ****.

 

I couldn't resist.

Very in depth analysis

Hoarding is a behavioral abnormity characterized by the excessive collection of poorly usable objects. It is described mainly in assiociation with OCD's in geriatric populations.

though most interesting was this..

Animal hoarding is a poorly understood phenomenon, the public implications of which are not well documented.

Diagnosis was inconclusive leading me to beleive as well that there is no cure. Very sad.

 

Didn't read the abstract but it's my understanding that these animal hoarders really think they are doing the animals a service by taking them in. They unfortunately keep going to the point where it spins out of control and they just can't keep up with it. It then leads to extreme cases like the story here.

 

Interesting...

"Hoarding is a behavioural abnormity characterized by the excessive collection of poorly usable objects. It is described mainly in association with obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCDs) and in geriatric populations."

Defines quite well an elderly great-uncle of mine who collected hubcaps... he had thousands and had them stashed all over the small town he lived in. He would, for instance, mow old ladies' lawns in trade for space in their detatched garages and fill them full of hubcaps. His family thought they had convinced him to get rid of them but then found out he had been stashing them all over town. Wild.

 

My father's been collecting news clippings since the 60's. You can barely walk though his basement. If the fire marshall paid him a visit, his place would be declared a fire hazard.

I have an uncle (in his 90's) that has two houses filled from floor to ceiling with magazines.

My sister keeps just about anything that's brought into her house....and she has a REALLY BIG house! Her ex-husband was exactly the same. It's a miracle that they actually had garbage to take out.

My late godfather's family had to rent a container to empty out his place: old washing machines, magazines, clothes...and piles of those plastic milk bags (you know, the kind when you buy those triple bags of milk) that were rinsed, dried, and neatly stacked.
