This scam is most entertaining. Better that Michael Jackson. This crazy woman has forced her daughter to be her partner in crime. One of her previous lawsuits was over her daughter getting sick at some fast food place. Can't say if she got money from it.

For this scam she had her daughter put her arm in a sling and claim she was injured when the police raided her Las Vegas condo for evidence.

I don't know who's stupider, the woman that lost the finger because she thought the leopard was safe, or the woman that thought that she could get away with fraud with her history.

How long did Ana Ayala stew that finger in her chili pot at home before taking it to Wendy's?

Leopards Are Dangerous

After taking photographs of the severed digit, Asvestas said she helped Allman seek medical attention

Poor leopards.

So this story in raising the possibility of a scam involving a woman in San Antonio and a woman in Nevada, correct? Supposedly they do not know each other. It would be interesting to see how this one develops.

[marvlus]

Ok. I re-read the story. All three women's names start with A - that was confusing enough. Now it appears that the woman suing is from Nevada, the woman that had her finger bitten off is also from Nevada. The article is coming out of San Antonio.

It's rather ghoulish.

They don't belong in jail.

Thanks for the picture.

She was exposed by a real Viking Kittie, eh? : )

The big story is that it all started in Pahrump, Nevada.

That is where Art Bell lives. A story like this couldn't possibly have started anywhere else.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

That's funny!

'these are my babies. They would never hurt me. They would never hurt anybody else. They've been hand-raised.'

Well when you raise leopards on hands, you have to expect they'll see yours as food.

That was a hold my beer and watch this moment.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

No kidding.

Oops!

[SlowBoat407]

There's no such thing as a tame leopard.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Especially when you hold them in such gruesome conditions.
