Man faces misdemeanor charge of animal cruelty after his dog kills young raccoon

Seth Foster, 23, said he found his family garage in disarray last summer and sent his dog in the building to investigate.

Grizz, a blue heeler, returned with the culprit, a young raccoon.

As two teenage boys watched, one of them filming its actions with a cell phone, Grizz killed the coon, Foster said.

Now, Foster is facing a misdemeanor charge of animal cruelty resulting in death, which is punishable by a maximum of 90 days in jail and a $500 fine. A jury trial is scheduled for Feb. 25 in Jackson County District Court.

Absolutely crazy. Dogs have been killing coons since time immemorial. Why do liberals love to try and mess up nature?

It’s all about the money. He’ll have to pay some fines but that’ll be about it.

Next time I find a live housefly big enough, I’m gonna capture it and tear it’s wings off with my camcorder running in macro-focus. Then, I’ll add to the video some pretend audio so it’ll sound like you can hear the screams of the little bugger (”I have a wife and 120 maggots!...”), upload it to YouTube and wait for cries of “animal cruelty”.

All kidding aside (not), does anyone know where I can find some deep fried grasshoppers or chocolate covered ants?

Uh-oh...my cat’s going to be in BIG trouble.....she’s a serial killer of all kinds of varmints and critters.

(The dog’s an excellent retriever, but hasn’t killed anything on his own yet, so he’s safe.)

Regards,

Lefty blue state? Republicans control every branch of government by a very wide margin.

Pro-gun laws equal to Texas, and even better in some cases.

Banned queer marriage AND queer partnerships.

Banned public benefits for queer partners.

Passed right to hunt law ( animal rights nutballs can go to jail for interfering with legal hunting.)

Passed right to farm law ( city azzholes can't move to the burbs and bich about farm smells and noise)

Passed shooting rage protection law ( anti-gun city azzholes can't move next to a shooting range and bish about noise etc)

Real lefty blue state...yea right ( eyeroll)

Banned public benefits for queer partners

that changed a couple weeks ago. starting in Oct., state employees can provide insurance for any adult that has been living with them for a year.

If the dog had not killed the racoon, would this prosecuter have charged the racoon with B&E?

i’m waiting to see what snyder comes out with in his budget plan, and what the unions do when they go to the bargaining table this year. i half expect to see it done away with before it hits the court challenge stage.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Guess I will have to sign this ‘anonymous’ lest I get sent to the ‘big house’.

I used to capture flies in mid air, pull one wing off and left them run in circles till their heart gave out.

Which led me to ask the following question....

WHAT DO YOU CALL A FLY WITH NO WINGS?

answer...
A WALK.....
