COOPER CITY, Fla. (AP) - A woman was arrested Sunday on animal abandonment charges after police found 67 dead kittens and cats inside a refrigerator of the woman's unoccupied home.

Police responded to neighbors' complaints of foul order coming from the home of Audrey Jean Weed, 50.

Officers found 24 cats and one dog loose in the home. They also discovered litter boxes overflowing with feces and 31 dead kittens and 36 dead cats in a refrigerator and freezer. Some were wrapped in bags.

"It was foul, believe me," said Cooper City Police Capt. Marvin E. Stoner Jr.

Maureen Darley, a Broward County animal care officer, said the animals were very thin, and some appeared to be starving.

Weed was charged with 92 counts of animal abandonment.

Stoner said Weed did not live at the house, but was using it as an "animal retreat."

Weed told authorities she had been having personal problems that kept her from attending to the animals, Darley said.

Police were investigating how the animals died.

There's a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
The place I go to every day at noon.
They can feed you can and you'd never know
Once they wrap it up in dough, boys
They fry it real crisp in dough.


Seriously though...that's one sick person who really needs to be locked up for a long long long time.

I was going to make a remark about Hillary and asking Bill about the moniker for a cold dead feline...but knew it would never make it past the FReep police for polite policy!

After all the hate mail I got for my "The only good cat, is a dead cat" comment,
I sure hope you got your flame proof undies on!

Lock her up and throw away the key. Simply just sick and wrong.

This is the same place in Floriduh that all the ballot tampering, military busting, and pregnant chads were coming from a year ago.

What can be done about this place? Is this place a beacon for idiots?

This isn't very funny, people.
