Lory Yazrulo, owner of Pig Tales Sanctuary and home to 500 Pigs in Florida.
I'm hooked!! Taboo has me shock every monday nights @10pm on NGC, I talk about it so much that I now have my co-workers watching.
Last night's show was about hoarding and as we may know hoarding is in the limelight of every television network. What makes NGC's Taboo different than the rest?..... They don't constantly show it! I mean come on a full season on hoarding, I can only take but so much of dirty people. Anyway, the highlight of this episode was a woman named Lory Yazurlo from Florida who was known as an Animal Hoarder. She owns a piece of land she calls Pig Tales Sanctuary because she takes care of rescued pigs who then breed more pigs which makes her the owner of 500 pigs . 1. I didn't know that many pigs were roaming the state of Florida which needed rescue, shouldn't they be securely safe in a slaughter house? and 2. Lory, you're crossing the line when your house has turned in to a barn. Pigs are freely roaming in your living room and trying to climb in to bed with you. What should be carpet at the bottom of your feet is now hay!
Yuck! This is when your love for something goes wrong. Thankfully, they redeemed her rights as unfit because her pigs were malnourished, diseased, and lived in uncleaned conditions. Although, it's unfortunate that the County euthanized her pigs in front of her by luring them in to the back of a truck and gassing them.
yes absolutely disgusting they way her house is turned into a pig sty,unfortunate they were gassed infront of her but many were undernourished and deseased. Obviously she has a psychological problem how is it her helpers and her own Mother have not done more about the situation.

Im Lisa Breeden, and Lory Yazurlo is my aunt.
-Pig Tales Sanctuary is her haven.
Pigs are her life, her love, her passion. They are the reason why she wakes up in the morning, being in a wheel chair from a truck accident and still being able to overcome boundaries, and save animals from being killed is what i think of as a hero. I look up to my aunt for fighting for what she believes in, and making the chooses to save animals. My aunt Lory wouldn't hurt a fly, those pigs where like her kids.She named them, and when she would call their name, they would come right over. The pigs felt close to her. I think my aunt has the magic touch, because animals are her forte.
I feel like the episode National Geographic displayed my aunt in a negative way. Portrayed her as an animal killer, when shes anything but. Shes always loved and cared for the pigs along with other animals for as long as i can think of. I always loved coming to visit my family here in Florida (because i live in VA), i had a chance to see my aunt and her pig farm. I would tell my friends stories. Shes an amazing woman, who cares for animals, shes not a killer. She was saving those animals.
Think about this: What if you had to choose between cutting off the life support to a person who is in a coma? Would you kill them because you believe they would never wake up? Or do you wait and let them die if they want to or not, if the body cant take it any longer. Just because the pigs had a disease(which was never tested for), is because you gas them? Instead of letting them die on their own? The way God intended for them to die.
That is the way i portrayed things. I was upset. Every time i see this movie, it sickens me.I love my aunt. She will overcome all obstacles, like her and my family have already done.

IMO, it's absolutely ridiculous that every single pig was gassed because a few of her pigs were diseased.
She is a hoarder but clearly, she was doing it for the welfare of the animals.
Animals do not view suffering the same way as humans do. The ones that are sick might recover or die and that's the plan nature has for them.
I find American laws in this regard extremely insensitive and infringing on individual privacy. The fact that she is a hoarder (The coined term seems incongruous in this context to me) is outweighed by another fact that she was rescuing pigs from all over the state. Intention matters.
I believe no animal should be gassed as long as there's someone to care for it.
And it's highly insensitive they euthanized her pigs right in front of her. I'd sue them for mental agony.
