[Duggan Dogs] Woman fined $5 for drowning kittens
Woman fined $5 for drowning kittens SPCA upsetThe provincial SPCA says
a $5 fine handed to a Windsor woman for drowning two newborn kittens in
a bucket of water is "a travesty of justice."The woman, in her 50s,
pleaded guilty to cruelty to animals after drowning the pair of
two-day-old stray kittens in Windsor last year.Sean Kelly, chairman of
the investigation committee for the SPCA, said a staff member told him
that the prosecutor seemed nonchalant about the case in Windsor
provincial court because the woman had been unable to get help from the
SPCA in taking the kittens’ stray mother, and the prosecutor had also
been trying to get the organization to deal with a stray on his
property. [...]"I was more concerned with the conviction than a large
fine," Mr. Fergusson said, adding that the woman is on welfare and
wouldn’t have been able to pay anyway.[...]I have an idea. Instead of
publicly stating that a kitten's life is worth exactly two dollars and
fifty cents, how about sentencing this woman to community service. I
mean, she sits on her ass all day and lives off my tax dollars anyway,
how about making her DO SOMETHING, you know, like WORK. F*CK.He said
the woman was unable to look after the kittens and had said that they
were not doing well before she drowned them in a bucket of
water.[...]Oh... okay... well if that's what she said. I mean she went
to veterinary school right? She knows what a two-day-old kitten is
supposed to look like right?F*CK!
