from the Chicago Sun-Times
(http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cat23.html)

in summary - Last summer a Chicago-area man kicked and killed a
neighbor girl's 9-week-old kitten because it came onto his property.
He was convicted of "felony aggravated cruelty", and was sentenced
today (Mar 23) to 6 months in jail, followed by 100 hours of community
service to be served in an animal shelter when he gets out.


Sure hope they put him to work scrubbing out empty cages. I certainly
wouldn't trust him near any live animals. Especially after he has served
his six months and is really ****ed.

Something tells me most inmates are as unfriendly to animal abuse as they
are to child abuse.

Did anyone follow the series on Animal Planet where they had
convicts fostering and training dogs? Interesting -
apparently it improved both the dogs and the convicts!
