"Mom" accused of keeping a 'concentration camp' for dogs

Story here. Excerpt:

'On Long Island, a Suffolk County mother is facing charges for alleged cruelty to animals, and they could be upgraded to felony charges.

In an eerie scene Saturday night, investigators found a backyard burial ground, with the remains of at least 20 animals, behind the woman's house. The remains were brought out in black plastic bags.
...
In addition to the dogs, one cat, along with a hamster and a parakeet, were rescued. They were found in the home of 43-year-old Sharon McDonough of Selden, who faces misdemeanor animal cruelty charges.
...
The person who allegedly blew the whistle on McDonough was her eldest son, Douglas.
...
The son says he was forced to torture the animals.
...
Now, investigators are looking into complaints about animals disappearing from the neighborhood, and allegations that McDonough tortured, killed, and buried them behind her house.'

Guess the author of that recent Oprah.com article forgot to mention animals can be on the receiving end, too.
