The woman located in the picture is still wanted by the local police officials. Please spread the word and share the picture links as much as you can. She has gone beyond cruelty and has shown the world just how sick people can be. She used and lied to other rescues about her supposed "cause" and this is what she did with the support. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated regardless of where you are located. This woman deserves to be brought to justice for the many deaths she has caused by her hands. Thank you.

Sorry about that. But thank you for keeping the post up. I was one of the many rescue volunteers that used to send rescues to this lady. I am so disturbed and heartbroken to whats happened now. A lot of us trusted this woman with the lives of our rescues, and to find out that this is what shes done to them breaks my heart to know that were not even safe from our own rescue groups sometimes. And I thank you for helping to spread the world about this tragedy. This woman deserves to be put behind bars and then some. Thank you again.

In the host of all the hate comments you will read all over the web concerning this woman, I like to offer an alternative. I am extremely sad this has happened and my heart cries out for the innocent victims, but something tells me that this woman was not well. I am sure after she was left to run the rescue by herself, she was overwhelmed and something snapped on the inside. Depression more than likely, depression can be crippling.

Of course, what she did was wrong, but the fact that she called another rescue before she left shows that she still cared. She could have went completely AWOL and left the other animals out there to be found long after she was gone.

I pray for her and her children that they find peace and resolve to overcome all the hate they will read and experience. Please remember that she has 3 children and by us posting (in general not you shamusia) all the hateful things we only solidify any negative feelings those children carry with them concerning rescuing. Remember they probably saw their mother's smile and zest for life diminish during the time she tried to care for all the animals, but we need to help remind them that us rescuers reach out to all animals ... sometimes I think we all forget that humans are animals too.

The same way we should not punish a sick, aggressive dog for their behavior but would rather rehabilitate it (like the Michael Vicks dogs) should we not look at Ms Judd the same way?

Please remember everyone rescuers and rescues are not supernatural, they are mortal, and all of us mortals can break. It is important to support them in more ways than just bringing them animals, and donating money. There are many ways to offer support, I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have the support of a few trusted ARK members that give their advice and opinions, and are there to hear things out when I get overwhelmed from time to time.
