Liberty Hulse of Middle Island was steadying an unidentified blonde
woman who was crying and appeared near a state of collapse.
``You have to eat,'' Hulse said to the woman. ``You have a beautiful
family, and you have to take care of them too.''
Hulse explained to reporters that the woman ``hasn't eaten for weeks''
because of anxiety over the fate of two dogs who were ostensibly buried
in the cemetery in Middle Island about 60 miles east of New York City.
Hulse said she also paid to have her dog buried there, and she
expressed concern that the cemetery might be bulldozed as a health
hazard because of an estimated quarter of a million animals buried
there.
``Are they going to bulldoze it?'' she asked. ``Over my dead body,
because they will have to kill me first.''
