(Newser) – Jaycee Dugard wants back a group of pets she raised while in captivity in a northern California backyard, animal-control officials tell the San Francisco Chronicle. “We are very hopeful that it’s going to happen as soon as possible,” one says of the menagerie, which includes two dogs, five cats and several birds.

Thanks for what? For the ten times that cops checked on the registered sex offender and never looked in the backyard? For the time that a neighbor reported young girls living in the backyard and the cop never looked past the front door? She doesn't owe anybody a thanks for anything, and give her back her damn pets.
