Bunnies are cute. But worth going to jail for? Photo: notsogoodphotography/Flickr
In 2007, 47-year-old Miriam Sakewitz of Oregon was arrested for housing over 250 rabbits in squalid conditions. She was convicted and forbidden to own any animals for five years, reports Breitbart.com.
Sakewitz's compulsion is so strong that while awaiting sentencing, she broke into a holding area to try to get at her rabbits. And just three days after the plea deal, police busted her with a rabbit and jailed her for three days.
This week, Sakewitz did it again. She barricaded herself in a hotel room with over a dozen rabbits, violating the terms of her probation.
Police stormed the premises and found the Oregon woman surrounded by eight adult rabbits and several baby rabbits, one of whom was dead. Some of the bunnies were caged and others roamed free.
Is Sakewitz an animal hoarder?
