This makes me MAD!!!! I have warned and warned and warned animal rights groups that they would have tragedies like this if they did not listen to me!!!! And most of the animals killed in this tragedy were puppies! We have had too many cases involving animals and animal abuse already. But this is terrible! How bad must it get before the world wakes up? This is just sickening!!!
Thanks to Bev Simmons for bringing this case to our attention. Because so many were saying in the comments to the article that this was an act of compassion because of how many pets need homes right now the following was my comment to them: “This has little to do with her caring for the animals and having their interests at heart. But it does have everything to do with why she became increasingly depressed since losing her son about a decade ago. They found her with the answer – prescription drugs prescribed to deal with the death of her son.
“After spending 2 1/2 decades testifying in cases involving antidepressants, writing about them, educating about them, etc. I can tell you the answer is there. Antidepressants CAUSE depression and suicide. They do not cure it. The serotonin lies are huge money makers for drug companies and complete nightmares, literally, for those who fall for the lies.
“These drugs produce horrifying nightmares and then sleepwalk. How many times I have heard the words “I acted out my worst nightmare on this drug?!” Sleep science calls this RBD, REM Sleep Behavior Disorder. Seems clear that this would have been her worst nightmare. Of those being diagnosed with this deadly sleep disorder, 86% are taking an antidepressant! But withdrawal can increase the odds of this and must be avoided by VERY gradual reduction.”
WITHDRAWAL WARNING: In sharing this information about adverse reactions to antidepressants I always recommend that you also give reference to my CD on safe withdrawal, Help! I Can’t Get Off My Antidepressant!, so that we do not have more people dropping off these drugs too quickly – a move which I have warned from the beginning can be even more dangerous than staying on the drugs!
The FDA also now warns that any abrupt change in dose of an antidepressant can produce suicide, hostility or psychosis. These reactions can either come on very rapidly or even be delayed for months depending upon the adverse effects upon sleep patterns when the withdrawal is rapid!
