Lewis the attack cat gets home detention, owner on probation

@i40g2000cwc.googlegroups.com: http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/06/20/le....ap/index.html So what happens if he does get out? I read the CNN article but it doesn't say what the consequences are. Would Lewis be put to death? The article states: Carroll [the judge] said Lewis cannot leave the house, even if he gets out accidentally. He said the case is not about a cat, but about people having the right to live in safety in their neighborhoods. Well, OK, but what if the neighbor who filed suit is just a complainer? What about Cisero [Lewis' owner] right to live safely in the neighborhood and not be harrassed by people who are just mean and petty. I don't see antthing about this possibility having been considered by the judge. People magazine said the Cisero's next door neighbor stated that Lewis was a great cat and not a problem. Yes, it's about people being able to live free from fear, but its not clear the determination was ever made as to who is tormenting whom. CMM PS: I signed the petition to keep Lewis alive, but I notice a lot of comments place blame on the AVON lady. AFAIK she has never made complaints against Lewis. It sounds like the neighbor who filed suit claimed the AVON lady was attacked. In fact, I can't find anything that indicates the complaints against Lewis are comming from more than perhaps a couple of the neighbors. If anyone knows differently, I'ld like to hear the story. |

I read the CNN article but it doesn't say what the consequences are. Would Lewis be put to death? I get the impression that if the cat gets out and that fact is discovered then the cat would be put down. The owner is going to have to be extremely careful that Lewis doesn't try and make a break for freedom when she is coming and going. |
