I have seen the data and only 1 of those lives in District 4, 1 in District 1 and the third is Mr. Cooks and his wife as a contributor. Why would so many people from outside Duncanville contribute to a local campaign? I spoke to one last night at the Forum, he was from Arlington, and I should have asked him how he would feel if people from Duncanville were contributing to campaigns in Arlington, and maybe contributing to those opposing your favorite candidate. As we are frequently told...FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!!! One 1 person from District 4 supporting at the $75 or more!!!

It is a shame the other 90 plus animals did not have the opportunity to "plea bargain" for their lives. As for Tiffany, Stella, Outlander and Anabelle, they are safe and three of the four have been adopted to wonderful homes. They are four of the lucky ones that have moved on to the life they deserve. The plea bargain for this person is appalling. Disgrace that the courts turned their backs on the remainder of the animals that were seized from this woman’s “care”..

Until the laws change people like Mary Colleen Cotton Ogden Fitzgerald will continue to walk among us. This is a very scary thought....if she has the capability to hoard and abuse helpless animals what difference is 12 months going to make. How many time do rescue groups and organizations have to pick up the pieces of these scum bags of the earth? The ninety other cases...well I guess those are just "unsolved murders" they will never be looked at again and their deaths held no reason and their lives held no importance ...in the eyes of the law that is.

What appalls me isn't as much that she conned people-- but that in addition to the horrifying conditions at her property (and the blatant fraudulent use of funds donated to assist in the care of these animals) but more that the courts are willing to overlook NINETY other cases if she modifies her behavior for a mere 12 months. It is almost impossible to get cases even in front of a judge for this type of hoarding and cruelty- and to see them blatantly disregarded as they are in Dallas County appears to be a very large step in the wrong direction for animal rights everywhere.

She kept these dogs in conditions that would be terrible for any living creature, but what makes this case especially sad is that many of these dogs were sensory deprived (blind or deaf or both) by nature, and the confinement and filth she kept them in robbed them of their remaining senses: they couldn't move and their sense of smell was stifled. These dogs lived in a bleak world that contained only suffering. Beyond cruel. I sincerely hope the mandatory mental health counseling brings her back to humanity.
