'BUNNY LADY' ARRESTED AGAIN FOR HOARDING RABBITS
NY Post ^

Posted on 06/18/2009 2:57:15 PM PDT by traumer

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Washington County's "Bunny Lady" is back in the hutch after violating a court order not to own or control animals for five years. Miriam Sakewitz, 47, was arrested again Tuesday at a Tigard hotel after an employee reported finding rabbits hopping around in her room.

Problems for Sakewitz started in October 2006 when Hillsboro police found and confiscated nearly 250 rabbits in her home, including about 100 dead ones in freezers and refrigerators.

Police said she broke into the facility where the survivors were being cared for in January 2007 and stole most of them back. Authorities found her a few days later in Chehalis, Wash., with eight live rabbits and two dead ones in her car. Another 130 were recovered at a nearby horse farm.

She was placed on five years probation, banned from owning or controlling animals and was told not to go within 100 yards of a rabbit.

This lady clearly has mental issued and could use some help. There’s more to the story than is being told here. I wonder why she kept dead rabbits in the freezer. I could understand if they were dressed out for eating. Rabbits do make a tasty stew, but I don’t think that’s what she had in mind.

Apparently she underwent a court ordered mental evaluation, but no treatment was recommended. What does she have to do before someone declares her loony? (besides voting for Obama, which she probably did anyway;)

Apropos of nothing, I found a dead rabbit in my back yard a couple of weeks ago. Just thought I'd share that.

I don't give a hoot about rabbits. Frogs, though. Now that's a different story.

This is the third post I’ve seen on this. So for the third time I have to ask:

Was there a warren for her arrest?

I knew a bunny lady. She raised rabbits,but not to the point of obsession.

Her name? Why, Mrs. Hoppe, of course.
