NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) - A New Hanover County man was arrested on animal cruelty charges after he allegedly failed to provide fresh water and food to his pet fish and abandoned it after he was evicted from his home last month.
Michael Ray Hinson, 53, was taken into custody on Wednesday and charged with three counts of misdemeanor cruelty to animals and one count of abandonment of an animal. He was given a $4,000 unsecured bond and later released from jail.
When deputies seized the fish, it appeared to be malnourished and suffering from hole in the head disease which is caused by poor water quality and lack of food.
C’mon, people! That fish had a hole in its head!
That qualifies it as a potential democrat!
Also if he didn’t have money for rent, how could he take care of the fish? Maybe he had his car repossessed also.
There could be other reasons for the eviction.
