"The majority of the cats (71%) were under the age of three years old and 300 cats were found to be suffering from various degrees of malnutrition - 178 of those cats were emaciated and starving, and nearly 70% were dehydrated. 80% of the cats were found with upper respiratory infections, 73 with painfully inflamed eyes and 54 with painful mouths and tongue ulcerations.

Just wanted to let you know that Linda Bruno AKA Lin Marie self proclaimed steward of Tiger Ranch Cat Sanctuary probably won't have much trouble paying her fine...She'll be using YOUR donations!:

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/valleynewsdispatch/s_633575.html

Snippet:

Marie has received a little more than $200,000 in legal defense and other contributions, Jugan said.

Marie's lead attorney, Robert Hollister, of Montrose, in the northeast corner of the state, declined to say how much of the fine will be paid with contributions to Tiger Ranch or how much of the money will be used in legal defense.

Oh & in case you missed the news of where all of the previous donations went?

pay her mortgage,
to buy hay for a horse-breeding business,
her own dental work,
trips to the hair salon
and Italian restaurants

Cat 'sanctuary' owner sentenced for animal abuse
Saturday, January 09, 2010
By Paula Reed Ward, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Lin Marie

The image that Lin Marie presented to the animal rescue community of her cat sanctuary was one of love and success. She described "TigerRanch" as "the land of milk and tuna," where hundreds of cats were taken in and adopted back out each month.

But prosecutors yesterday, in asking an Allegheny County Common Pleas Court judge to sentence the woman formerly known as Linda Bruno to jail time, presented a bleak and disturbing image where diseased cats were left to contaminate the healthy, only 21 cats were adopted out of thousands taken in, and mass graves dotted the 29-acre Frazer property.

Judge Jill A. Rangos, who repeatedly admonished the defendant and expressed her disappointment in the multitude of lies she told, did not order the woman to jail.

But she didn't discount the possibility either.

Instead, the judge ordered Ms. Marie, 47, to serve two years of house arrest, followed by 27 years of probation.

It is almost insulting to tell anyone they do not have a good working knowledge of the courts, or how the system works, many of us do.

How many times have you visited Tiger Ranch before this as you call it "rescue". I'm sure your answer will be never---and once again---I will silenc the opposition.

How do you feel about the suffering that is going on in Pittsburgh city streets and surrounding areas? All those cats out there on their own, no owners, no vet care, maybe little food or shelter, REPRODUCING.
