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!!

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.

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.)

Regular viewing here. If I think I'm going to miss it it's one of the
few things I tape

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.
