This Is Outrageous

[lizbud]

This attack happened over the weekend at a small Petting Zoo In St Paul, Indiana, a town southeast of Indianapolis. The man who attacked the deer(who later died from his injuries) will not be charged for any crime. He's
free to go about his daily life.

If you think this decision is wrong & sends the wrong message to kids
about animal cruelty, please call & register your comments to the office
of the Prosecutor who made this decision not to charge the guy. Thanks.

What an idiot!!! Leave the prosecutor a message with your comments and outrage at:

Completely horrible. He should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for animal cruelty, and everyone who saw it should sue him for psychological damages, too.

Outrageous, indeed! Its been a while since a news story has irritated me as much as this one.

The prosecutor certainly isn't helping the community be a safer place if he's letting an incompetent drunk walk away without charges. If the prosecutor truly thinks this is the way the case should end, there's no telling what others will be able to get away with.

Thanks for leaving the contact info.

I'm a bit confused here.
The article said that witnesses saw the man climb over a fence and attack the deer.
But the man claims self defence ??? And the Prosecuter believes a drunk man.
So what about the witnesses ???? They don't matter ????
Sheesh........maybe that Prosecuter doesn't deserve a job.

maybe the prosecutor was drunk himself!

maybe the prosecutor was drunk himself!

Either that or he has been out in the sun for too long

[sana]

haha yeah! The drunk's a prosecutor and the criminal is one too?!

The prosecutors job is to prosecute. The police's job is to investigate the crime and bring to the prosecutor all the facts to get a conviction. If, and I did not read the story, the prosecutor felt there wasn't enough to go on to get a conviction, that isn't the prosecutor,s problem.

Different jobs and functions.

This attack on the Petting Zoo deer happened last weekend. yesterday
I learned something I hadn't know before. The idiot who climbed the fence
and killed the deer started a new job this week. He has been hired as a
Correctional Officer in a nearby town.

I hope at least one of the inmates is an animal lover and they give him
an appropriate welcome.

How horrible. I hope that guy gets "PTS" with that shot thing for that- the deer was innocent
