There's "Lazy and dirty" and then there's "Gathering a tonne of animals and allowing them to starve and a house to be destroyed". Come on. A "Lazy, filthy and uncaring" person doesn't end up in the situation to have that happen in the first place. No "normal thinking" person does. The problem here is addiction and mental illness, as it is with a whole bucketload of the nation's problems.
What's the point in putting her in prison for a while only for her to come out worse than ever? Vengeance of some sort? It's entirely hollow. We are a civilised country and we believe in
rehabilitation. Or, at least, we're supposed to. I know there are plenty of people desperate for a pitchfork to gnaw on.
The real tragedy is that most of the time, once a person is this far gone, things are never going to change much. Yet another broken soul in a ****ty system. I just wish we'd stop letting people turn into this in the first place. THAT is how you stop these horrific stories from happening. Not by burning people at the stake after it's done.
