Woman Accused Of Drowning Hundreds Of Animals
Mar 14 2007 6:27PM
Humane Society agents on Wednesday were searching for a woman wanted for animal cruelty.
Prosecutors said Maureen McLaughlin admitted killing 650 puppies, dogs, and cats by drowning them in a trash can.
McLaughlin recently told authorities she would fill a trash can with water, put the animals in a crate, and place the crate in the water.
"She would keep fur from each animal that she killed and write the name and date and descriptions of the animals," said assistant city prosecutor Bill Hedrick.
Many of the animals MacLaughlin drowned since July 2002 were received through people thinking that she was a rescue.
"No one would expect this going on and basically she's just a mass killer of animals," Hedrick said.
Authorities were working to determine why McLaughlin killed the animals when they say she knew that what she did was wrong.
McLaughlin was charged with one count of animal cruelty because Humane Society agents recovered only one carcass.
Prosecutor Hedrick said he was concerned that she could be volunteering with local veterinarians or other rescues.
