So, what was the cruelty? Dressing them up? Having them touch people? Having them in their possession? The story is thin on actual facts.

"I guess, in today’s politically correct society, organ grinders would be guilty of a felony." Pee Wee Herman got caught grinding his organ, but I think he was only charged with a misdemeanor.
