Judge makes ruling to show suspect what it was like for the kittens she abandoned
Michelle Murray will now have the opportunity to experience what the dozens of kittens felt the night she abandoned them at two Lake Metroparks in September. Painesville Municipal Court Judge Michael A. Cicconetti on Thursday sentenced Murray, 25, of Painesville Township, to jail time. But he added a stipulation to ensure that Murray "suffer the same consequences as those kittens."...
Can you imagine the perverted someone, that would allow an animal to live alone, in the woods? How incredible! /s
To quote my all time favorite Rush caller, Mick from the high mountains of New Mexico when he was discussing abandoned domestic animals; "Those things make awful good tacos and burritos Rush."
We need to do something similar with the people who carry out abortions.
I live in the middle of nowhere in NW Georgia, about 45 miles from Atlanta on a dead-end road with no neighbors within 300 yards..the road out here is only 1 1/2 lanes (narrow country road) with no streetlights..perfect for dropping off animals..It's unbelieveable to me the number of animals that show up at the house after being dropped off..in the past 2 months alone, 2 Beagles (friendly as he*l) and 4 cats..

Remember, these are kittens, which won't be able to survive on their own. Would you say the same thing if someone were to abandon puppies in the woods? Or infants in a Toys R Us or Chuckie Cheese?

I'm bilding my new place in a similar situation. I have already blessed the Humane people with a dozen, from just visiting my place. I have just begun the clearing and construction phases.
But, behind me is 23000 acres of state WMA (hunting!) along with the requisite bears and coyotes. My main concern is keeping Spot (and me) out of harms way!
I've already lost 2 ducks and a cat to the dam' things.
Mark, do you realize this is a real woman, an actual HUMAN life? Kittens are cute. They are not worth the time to prosecute this woman.
Sorry is you're offended, but it is only a baby cat. It is hers to do with as she pleases, according to God... (if you believe in Him). To think that the kittens are in danger, to be living in the woods, shows a possible susceptability to "animal rights" indoctrination, by someone. If the cats can't make it on their own, oh well!
All they do is kill them in a vaccum chamber or gas chamber, if you call that "humane"
Yep, they're horse duvers around here, too...
I love Google...
Yeah, around here, they use shots to "put them to sleep". I guess you'd prefer to take care of them, or would it better to starve them to death?
Give me your address, for when the next one shows up.
OK, so the laws of the city or state against "animal cruelty" aren't worth prosecuting... At what point should the police begin enforcing the laws, and the courts begin prosectuing law breakers... Should the police ignore property crimes of less than $100? Legalize shoplifting! At least if the value of the goods is less than $100. Certainly it's not worth the cost of arresting the person, or the cost of the court case. How about auto theft? Sure, I can understand prosecuting the theft of a new car, but what if it's a $300 POS? No reason to arrest someone for stealing that car!
Where do you set the threshold for enforcing the laws that are on the books? If you don't agree with the laws, then work to change them. Otherwise, you do nothing but encourage a "scofflaw" attitude. Funny, how so many people thought that Bill Clinton's purjury was nothing worth prosecuting, since it just wasn't that big a deal. After all, it was all about sex, wasn't it?

These weren't cats. They were kittens. It's like saying that an 8 year old kid ought to be able to make it on his own in the city. And it wasn't one kitten. It was 15 kittens. And it was not the first time she's been sited for abandonment and animal cruelty. As a pet owner, she took on a responsibility to care for those animals. She decided to abandon the animals in the woods. And there are laws against that in that jurisdiction.
And no, I'm certainly NOT an "animal rights" advocate. What I am is a pet owner responsibility advocate. When you take an animal into your home, you're voluntarily taking on a responsibility. If you don't want that responsibility, then don't get a pet.

Sorry, but your arguments are falling on deaf ears. I am not valuing a kitten the same as a child, nor do I ascribe any "rights" to the kitten.
Most "animal cruelty" laws are NOT worth prosecuting. They make the assumption of rights, not guaranteed in any our founders papers. Rights are for people. Animals are for peoples pleasure... and your arguments are just straw men burning!

And I suppose that most petty (petite) theft cases aren't worth prosecuting either. You ignored my questions. At what point do you begin enforcing the laws that are on the books?

Not at all. "Animal Cruelty" laws do NOT confer rights on animals. They place limitations on what people can do with animals. Are you in favor of bestiality? So, you're a scofflaw. Thanks for admitting it. What other laws don't you feel are worth prosecuting? Keep on ignoring my questions.
