Having gone to college with a girl who refused to be photographed because she was, in reality, a 36-foot-long dragon, we're used to people who think they're animals. We called them LARPers (Live Action Role Players), and "Wolfie" certainly fits the bill -- she considers herself a werewolf, is into anime, and wears a tail. But that's not the weird part -- the story gets much more strange from there.In addition to thinking she's a wolf/ werewolf, Wolfie, is 18 (maybe -- opinions on her age vary) and into taxidermy, and not collecting. Her room is filled with the skulls of animals including a boar, a ram, and a coyote. She also took the head of her chihuahua, who was hit by a car, cleaned it and stuck it in a jar. She collects swords. And now she's in trouble for decapitating a dog named Rigsby that had disappeared from a family's home on January 5th.
When a picture of Wolfie about to plop the head of Rigsby into a vat of boiling water surfaced on the internet, animal rights groups sounded the alarm, but Wolfie, birth name Sarah Rodriguez, insists that she loves animals and would never do anything to harm one. She says the dog was dead when she found it, and there's no law against removing the head from a dead dog.
A forensic investigation can determine if the the dog was beheaded before or after it died, although Wolfie swears she would never harm a dog, telling My San Antonio, "I would never kill a canine. I am a canine." For some reason this just doesn't lend her the credibility she was probably going for, do you think?

Yeah awkward isn't even the half of it. Either this kid is stupid or there is something wrong with her. I hope for her parents sake she grows the eff up, because she will end up living in their basement for the rest of their lives, eating squirrels and stray cats. I bet you there is someone out there who will defend her "rights" though. Wtf is wrong with people now, geeze.

follow the coverage as it breaks @ http://rigsbyjustice.50webs.com
My only concern is about this part, here:
"When a picture of Wolfie about to plop the head of Rigsby into a vat of boiling water surfaced on the internet, animal rights groups sounded the alarm."
In reality, the image showed up on image boards and random anonymous people came across, were appalled and took action. We've been ringing the bells and sounding the alarm since the day the image showed up.
The history is all in a big, terrible clustered-mess at http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/sasuke
It doesn't make for good reading, it's mostly only good for referencing as the starting point as it was the first organized effort of any kind to bring justice in this case.
I guess another gripe would be that the image you've used is not Rigsby but Wolfie's dog, Winfrey. The correct pictures of the dog are at the site I listed at the top.
Otherwise, it's a good article, keep up the good work! Most sites just rip the text wholly off of a previously written article. It's nice to see that you've taken the info in, digested it and actually written a piece. Bravo! :D

If she killed the dog then she is a dangerous person. Most serial killers start with killing animals. Lets hope for the public, animals as well, she found it dead.

From the CBS news comments:
"Shoddy journalism, CBS. Read the real story here:
http://www.mysanantonio.com/pets/Self-described_wolf_woman_severed_lost_dogs_head.html
Wolfie's social networking sites were hacked by internet trolls. The picture on her MySpace profile at the time this was article was written was put there by internet bullies who had hacked her account. If you look at it now, you will see they have continued to vandalize the profile: the name on it is now NickLawlsonlolol. "Lawl" is slang for LOL, or Laugh Out Loud, in case you're not hip to the latest internet slang. These trolls have documented their attacks on Wolfie and her friends on the website Encyclopedia Dramatica, which I won't link to since it's quite vulgar. Trust me, right now they're laughing at how they have manipulated the national media into running this story. In the spirit of sharing more honest (though still over-hyped) news, here's a video segment on Wolfie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TPJ1uqF05w
This Crimesider article is sensationalist nonsense. That anyone would take this article at face value without investigating the truth behind it amazes me. Think and research before you judge, readers. CBS might have checked their reason at the door, but you don't have to."

Alright, this is disturbing and all, but you seriously got one thing off.
LARPers? Excuse me? I don't mean to be all butthurt, but do your research first. LARPers are people who roleplay in real life, for a set amount of time. Like a group gathering together to enact out a D&D session. After said session ends, then that's where the character ends. This girl is a 'furry' or 'otherkin' from the sounds of it. She believes she's actually an animal. Please make the distinction and refer to her for what she is -- this girl is disturbed and an otherkin-- not a LARPer. Don't give them a bad name.

actually, saying that she is a furrie, is giving furries bad names. along with all the people who sit there and say that all furries dress up in costume and such. well, I myself have a fusona and I own 4 cats and a dog, who are very much alive. I don't, in any way, consider myself a fox (which is what my fusona is). I consider her an alter ego, as many people with fusonas do. this girl is just crazy. and is obviously taking things a little too far with the whole "I'm a wolf" thing.
so please, you attack the person who wrote article for not doing their research when obviously you haven't done yours.

I don't know " Wolfie ".
I know several that do.
The dog, was really dead when she did it.
There is nothing wrong with her.
She has an active imagination.
Would it kill any of you to have one either ?

I have an active imagination but it doesn't include thinking that I'm a dog. I'll bet she's a furry too huh?
Also if she wants to do taxidermy - get an education and a degree in taxidermy
OH LOOK here is one in texas!

And another thing ! ;
No one finds her appalling,
Absolutely no one that actually knows her.
There are way worse people out there, then Wolfie.
Wolfie is just following what she wants to do.
Be into taxidermy.
Someone has to do it.
Do you want to ?
