Animal Rights Advocate Found Dead

Sandra Lertzman
(Moreland Hills, Ohio) Sandra Lertzman, Executive Director at the Animal Rights Foundation, has reportedly committed suicide while also killing 31 dogs.

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.

Since Lertzman was an animal rights advocate, it's hard to understand why she would kill 31 dogs.
