Authorities Find Dead Rats In Refrigerator, Garbage Disposal
LOS ANGELES -- A Menlo Park, Calif., man will undergo a mental competency examination after he was found to be keeping hundreds of rodents in his filthy apartment.
A San Mateo County judge Tuesday appointed two doctors to examine Robert Hollywood.
Hollywood was arrested Nov. 6. Prosecutors said he had hundreds of rats and mice in his home -- including dead ones in the refrigerator and stuffed down the garbage disposal.
He's also accused of stomping some of the creatures to death.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals got involved in the case this week, urging the district attorney to vigorously prosecute Hollywood.
Hollywood's attorney, Hugo Borja, said his client loves animals and was planning to find homes for the vermin.
The doctors are due back in court with their report on Dec. 9.

I am surprised that PETD (People for the Ethical Treatment of Democrats) is not involved.

"[He] had hundreds of rats and mice in his home -- including dead ones in the refrigerator and stuffed down the garbage disposal."
Are they describing the webmasters of DemocraticUnderground?

I've killed a few mice myself. Are the PETA police going to come after me too?

This guy is in trouble.
But it's okay for the fed goobermint to have an old house boarded up kitty-corner from me and let it turn into Vermin Central.
It's a regular PETA heaven, too...rats, mice, raccoons, possums, squirrels...

How does one treat a rodent "ethically"? Give it to Richard Gere so it'll have a nice, warm home? Where was PeTA during this?
To: RedBloodedAmerican
Rats are people too, unless their names start with Democ.
