Meanwhile – in Ohio, a 62-year-old Director of Animal Rights, Sandra Lertzman, decided to commit suicide.   It’s not what she did, but how she did it.

sandra lertzmanThe animal activist put 31 puppy dogs in her car, closed the garage door, started the car, and sat in the car with the puppies so all would be killed.

OHIO […]  Moreland Hills Police were called to a home in the 31000 block of Jackson Road on Monday night after a friend found the body of Sandra Lertzman, 62, inside her car along with 31 dogs, most of them puppies.
Police say Lertzman’s car was still running in her garage. Detectives found several prescription vials in the vehicle and a suicide note inside the house.
Police aren’t sure how long Lertzman and the pets were dead before they were found, but investigators say she was last seen on Sunday.
Investigators also tell 19 Action News one of the puppies managed to get out of the car and get air from a small opening in the closed garage. The surviving puppy is now recovering with a member of Lertzman’s family.  (link)
