Animal Cruelty Conviction
I live in what I've fondly dubbed the "Idiot State." A couple of
years ago, it finally passed an anti-cruelty law for the animals. Most "punishments" have been the slap-on-the-wrist type. Yesterday, a fellow was sentenced to *prison* (not jail) for 18 months plus five years' probation. This was a *first* so it made the news. Yaaay! Maybe there's hope for the old state yet!! Jeanne |

Jeanne Oh, YAAAAAYY! That's so encouraging! Of all the abuse cases I have followed through, NOT ONE was sentenced to actually serve in prison. The sentences .I just had a bad wicked thought. I hope the defendant's roomie in prison is a really, really, big, really really tough animal lover. Sherry |

Speaking of imprisoned animal lovers, has anyone watched the "Prison Dogs" series on Animal Planet? Really interesting, what lving with a dog and training it can do for "hard case" inmates. (And, since they train the dogs as assistants to the handicapped, it has a good effect for the dogs, too.) Sherry |

(And, since they train the dogs as assistants to the handicapped, it has a good effect for the dogs, too.) Sherry I love that show. One of my favorite episodes was when the guy had the litter of puppies in his cell and they needed to be hand raised. It was fun to see how that man fussed over those babies. The dogs in that episode were being socialized for adoption at pets. Annie |
