[New Orleans Pet Rescue Scene Examiner]

Tammy Hanson was sentenced in Arkansas' Baxter County District Court
on November 4, 2009 for 20 misdemeanor counts of cruelty to animals.
The judge imposed a 1-year sentence in the county jail and $10,000 in
fines.

So who is Tammy Hanson and what significance does she have to Louisiana?

The name tracks back five years to animal rescuers of Hurricane Katrina.

Hanson's Arkansas property, where she operated Every Dog Needs A Home
(EDNAH) animal sanctuary, was raided by the Baxter County Sheriff's
Department in 2005.
