The more that comes out, the sadder this case is.
Those poor babies.

Thank you Dave.

Thanks for posting this. I realized I sent it to you after you already posted it.

OMG. More and more horrible things come out everyday. Those poor cats. And she says she is not guilty. How hard does she want me to laugh at her. Noted with sadness and disgust. Thanks Dave.

This is horrific, these poor cats were supposed to be at a santuary. A place where they could finally be taken care of properly, instead it was a death sentence for many. So very sad.

Thank you Dave.

Please note, you are only hearing the prosecution's side now, don't be so quick to judge her. I noticed the pictures taken that were shown in court were a week after the raid. Why no medical care in the week following the raid?

Wednesday April 30, 2008, 10:07 am
I want to know why there are people trying to protect her...She DID this obvioulsy cause the cats were there and based on the Vets testimonys they were ALL in BAD shape...

Wednesday April 30, 2008, 10:15 am
The Vet in question works for the PaSPCA and is paid nearly 3 times what a normal vet makes. My opinion is he will say anything they want him to say. I was in the court room sitting in front of 2 SPCA agents who are not premitted to testify for the Defense or will lose their jobs. Remember this is America and we are inocent until proven guilty. Wait for the entire case to unfold before making judgement.

Wednesday April 30, 2008, 1:31 pm
And what about the Vet who was a volunteer without affiliation with the PSPCA that said this was horrible, Bob? What would be her excuse? She does volunteer work to help those cats and volunteer spay/neuter. What a horrible person right! She must have lied for... oh wait... she wasn't getting paid. She was volunteering.

As for those pictures Bob, in the testimony, all of the cats were triaged before being fully examined which means they were all seen the day of the raid and then again fully examined afterwards. But this is the fault of the woman taking in 6432 cats per year and only adopting out 14 that there were so many animals in need of care, not the PSPCA or the vets who volunteered their time to get them out of there.

You may be quite surpised at what a "normal" small animal Vet makes.

This has more to do with the financial demagraphics, then the profession itself.

I am sure the Vet for the PSPCA works ten times harder than any "normal" Vet as well. I do not see what his or her salary has to do with anything..

Animalia,
The date on the newspaper of the photo show in court was a week after the raid. What did they do, print a paper with a false date to incriminate themselves. Also, how about the the numerous humane officers in the court room in support of Lin. I meet 8 of them. I wish you had you facts straight. Also, several Vets in support of Tiger Ranch. Again, at least 2 present that I met. Again, you are referring to one local Vet, who in my opinion has a grudge against Lin, as Lin does low cost spay/neutering that cuts into their buisness. Again, this is just my opinion, but that is the feeling of many I know. Also, the detective that testified that he got sick from Tiger Ranch, is allergic to Cats. How is Lin guilty of this? This came out in court, where you obviouly were not present or would not show your ignorance on many issues.

Wednesday April 30, 2008, 8:39 pm
One thing I would like to note, I have been to Tiger Ranch several times during the last 5 years, and never seen anything close to what is being reported. Also, the Women who turned her in had brought several cats there herself during the time she worked there. How awful of a place could it be to bring your own pets there and then claim poor conditions. Doesn't add up to me. Again, you are only hearing the Prosecution side at this point. How would you feel, if as many of you are doing, condeming her when she has not even that the opportunity to present her case yet. How would you feel if it were you? I hope all those who are throwing their stones now, realize their ignorance!

Do you really think they printed a newspaper with a false date on it? That's what you've got? You guys are... wow. I mean, I don't even know what to say half of the time with the defenses you guys come up with. You all say there is a framing going on but none of you really address the cats in question. Tell me Bob, how did you feel when you saw the photos? Was that something you think was normal? How about the fact that she took in over 6400 cats last year and only adopted out 14? That's in HER RECORDS, not anyone else's.

The vet that's supporting Lin had a coat with dog-fur trim on it. Coincidence?

The humane officers are covering their asses I'm sure.

Cat allergy is not the same as bronchitis (diagnosed by a doctor) so when the defense side busted out in laughter, all they did was show how uneducated they were, as well as the lawyer, in thinking allergies were the same as bronchitis- an infection needing antibiotics. The defense in this thing overall is sad. But, I'm glad for it, because the prosecution is strong and hopefully the judge and jury will agree so no animal ever has to endure such neglect again.

How would I feel if it were me? If I were heartless enough to allow hundreds of animals to get that sick on my property without medical care, then LIE about there even being a problem, then lie about how many I took in, all so I could keep the whole thing going and continue to neglect animals?.... Hmmm, I don't know how I would feel because I wouldn't do that to animals. It's wrong.

Ignorance? The woman, was acting as a Humane Agent, when she took cats there, it was her job to do so at that time. This is very well known, and has been in the media several times.The cats taken there were HADLY her pets by any stretch of the imagination.Does that add up a bit better for you now?

Many of us have been to Tiger Ranch,and many of us saw the conditions.They were henious.The state all of those poor animals were in was a disgrace.

As for the humane officers, they were dropping as many cats there as anyone else.With the exception of the WPHS, who since '02 have not, as they felt there were too many cats on the property, this has also been posted in the media.

Bronchitis is an acute inflammation of the air passages within the lungs. It occurs when the trachea (windpipe) and the large and small bronchi (airways) within the lungs become inflamed because of infection or other causes.

How would any of us who have been to Tiger Ranch, who have seen what goes on there, feel? I would never let any animal I was responsible for in anyway get into such horrendious conditon.I would feel shame myself.

As for how some people are reacting to the evidence and testimony---
Denile ain't just a river in Egypt.

Ignorance? Wake up! Are some of you even aware that the SPCA took cats there also. bronchitis, since when is this caused by cats? I was to an ENT approximately the same time as the raid and the Doctor told me the problem going around then was very common. (Before, someone thinks I got it at Tiger Ranch, I had not been there in over a month). I read a lot of the profiles of the people posting, and you all speak of fairness and doing good for animals, but I do not see fairness here as many of you have probably never been to Tiger Ranch and are so quick to condem without even hearing her side yet. Please, Please let everything come out before you judge. What goes around, comes around, you may be in the same situation someday, with people condemming you, without even getting the benefit of the doubt, and without even getting the chance to present your side. Also, the number though out in court of 6000 cats is bogus. They are combining numbers as it turned out, of spay/nuters she did. Also, more that 14 were adopted out. They just didn't have all the records. Myself, brother and a few friends, adopted more that 14 ourselves. Also, the point I was making about the pictures shown, where that the Pictures that were shown, where not taken at Tiger Ranch. The one newspaper that the cat with a bloody leg, was taken almost a week later. Why didn't the PaSPCA provide care in that time. They could make the decision to put to sleep 13 cats within minutes, but no time to provide care to ones that alledgely needed it. Again, all I am asking is to wait to make judgement until ALL the FACTS come out. Is this to much to ask in America?

I have known linn for over 5 years. I have been up there over 100-200 times. I have been through the buildings. I have helped linn give meds to different cats. I went to the same vet as linn did. I see the sam vet up at linns place all the time. I have taken lots of cats there when I couldn't get them adopted out. I have watched linn adopt out the cats I couldn't. I have talked to the new owner of the cats. I have gotten all my animals vetting done at linns or through linn. Never once have I seen anything wrong. My kids would run on her land and we would sit back and watch them. Did you know urmann was suppose to take care of the black cat in the litter box? Instead she video taped that cat for 2 WEEKS till it died. So when she could have saved the cat she watched it die to get it on tape. Also linn got a ton of cats 2 weeks before the raid..which were all sick and ill..Are they the cats in the video maybe? And then just a little while before the raid urmann took her cats up there to get vetted? Why would someone take there cats to an unsafe place when they are the ones trying to shut her down? Maybe because urmann asked linn for a job and linn turned her away... Would that start the investigation...maybe???? All I know is I have been to linns more than a hundred times played with the cats and dogs and they all looked great. I love linn to death and will give her my 100% support and when this is over I have a huge basement filled with cat and dogs supplies I have gotten donated and bought..She's such a great person with a huge heart and loved animals to death. I can never in my life see why this happened to ehr but she'll come back bigger than ever...I believe.

And you know this how?

I HAD NOT BEEN TO TIGER RANCH, I ONLY KNOW OF THIS PLACE FROM TV SINCE THE RAID. FROM THE PICTURES I SAW ONLINE , THIS WOMAN REALLY HAD THE PLACE FIXED UP NICE FOR THE CATS. IT SEEMED LIKE SHE REALLY WANTED TO HELP THESE SICK AND UNWANTED ANIMALS. SO IF SHE HAD GOTTEN OVERWELMED , WHY DIDN'T PSPCA TRY TO HELP HER, IT SEEMS SHE WAS ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS, FOR 8 MONTHS THEY COULD HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HELP HER AND THE ANIMALS GET BACK ON TRACK. AND "IF" SHE WAS A HOARDER, AND A HOARDER IS A MENTAL PERSON, WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU BRING A CREW FROM A TV PROGRAM TO FILM A MENTAL PERSONS PROBLEM?

Friday May 2, 2008, 7:13 am
Gregory, in Bruno's statement, she says there is absolutely nothing wrong with the place. So, if she needed help she would have to ask AND if she were to receive help, she would have to be open to the fact that the place needed it.

It's as simple as that.

An average hoarder usually admits their situation is out of control when officers show up and s/he will take help. But, when asked, Bruno expressed that the place was in fine shape.

It is sad for these animals. But, simple assistance does not work in a situation where someone thinks those conditions are normal.

Friday May 2, 2008, 7:14 am
Oh, and note she thought almost all of the cats were in fine shape, too.

Friday May 2, 2008, 10:13 am
THE QUESTIONS I HAD ASK WERE TWO THAT MOST OF OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAD WONDERED ABOUT. WE ALL THOUGHT TIGER RANCH WAS A RESCUE FOR CATS.IT ALL SEEMS VERY CONFUSEING . AND YOUR RIGHT ... A SAD ONE
