    I missed the initial thread (actually, I think I may have been afraid to read it), but have pretty good idea as to Nytron's story and what at least for him is a happy ending. But, as to this woman, is that sentence really enforceable? How can you really keep someone from owning/obtaining a pet. *sigh* Why not plead when all you are going to get is a fine? At least things worked out well for Nytron.

    In a place this small, it is enforceable. The by-law officer told me they are out there on a regular basis due to other issues so they will be able to enforce the ban. In a larger place, I don't know how you'd enforce that kind of sentance.

    Once again, kudos to you for stepping in - otherwise Nytron may not have the good life now that he has always deserved.

    Nytron looks awesome and such a happy smile! He should be so lucky as to camp out with his "aunt" from time to time Your fil, yourself and Stuart (not to mention all those gorgeous doggies and kitties of yours) will make his life the best it can be. Congratulations on a job well done.

    PS. Punishment may be enforced justifiably (or not) - this will never excuse the abuse that Nytron has experienced. People who treat any creature badly will never change - it's a sad truth. Going forward, making Nytron's world a better place is the most important task - he need not be a victim any longer.

    Glad to hear that she changed her plea to guilty -- I can't imagine doing anything so stupid and denying it for one minute. Doesn't seem like enough of a punishment, but as you noted, she still has other charges pending that may land her butt in jail or at least cost her a pretty penny.
    Nytron looks so happy - and thanks to you & your fil, now he never has to worry about being abused again!

    I just love seeing this nice bouys photo. So glad your FIL fell in love I thought he might be one of the happy guys in your yard. I guess he is sometimes. At least she got some kind of sentence around here they do nothing.
