I agree that the punishment could have been more harsh. This judge has a reputation for doing "unusual" punishments, and he usually tries to make them fit the *crime*.

However, even if for only one night, I LOVE the idea of her sitting outside overnight tomorrow night. It is DARN cold here in Ohio. I had to walk from my car to my son's school just now and I sure wouldn't want to sit outside overnight. So, he's on the right track. And I bet one night for her will FEEL like 5. 6. maybe more.

And you're right. It makes EVERYONE involved with the helping and saving of animals look very bad.

One more question, if anyone knows.....the siamese or whatever she was trying to "sell"...she said in her ad that she had to "rehome" her own pets because she was moving. Why was she taking in rescues if she was rehoming her own cats??? it also seems that she was trying to "off" the pricey ones to new owners. The standard domestics got dumped in the park.
