Some people are just sick

In Florida, a woman was arrested and charged with neglect to the elderly. She was charged because her mother was found at home in deplorable conditions without a working heater.

This happened on Thanksgiving Day.

The mother, who is 84, was living in a house with about 50 cats, 20 ducks, 15 turkeys, and a dog. She told the police that she kept herself warm by covering herself with the animals.

The daughter apparently placed he mother in the house against her will. She removed her from a nursing home that was providing her with the care she needed.

When the authorities came to the house, they were greeted by the overwhelming smell of cat urine, and animal feces which covered the floors in nearly every room. Two dead cats were found in a freezer, where the daughter said they were being stored until they could be cremated. In one of the bedrooms, they found caged turkeys. In another bedroom, ducks were found, along with an empty kid's swimming pool. A dog was in a third bedroom, where its feces had piled up. Several geese, ducks and chickens were found in the back yard. And, the only toilet in the home did not work and the sinks would not drain water.

The mother was also using a faulty oxygen machine. She suffers from congestive heart failure. She also stated that she lived at the house alone and that her daughter would stop by from time to time to care for the animals.

What kind of individual does something like this to their parents?

While I'm not the type to judge, there is absolutely no way I could treat my parents in this fashion.

Well, on second thought, maybe.

Last week, a British man was arrested for raping two of his daughters and fathering nine of their children over 27 years.

The two daughters have been pregnant 19 times. They've endured nine births, five miscarriages and five abortions.

Seven of the children are alive but suffer genetic deformities.

The 56-year-old father could face at least 19½ years.

It is cases like these that make me rethink my stance on capital punishment.

People like these don't deserve to rot in jail.

It should be real simple.

Just take them out back and end it.

The Wizard has spoken.
