   Here's a link to the story in the Athens Banner-Herald about the sentencing of the man who abandoned the Athens cats last summer:

   20 days was not enough, but glad to see that they took some action. He should not be allowed to own animals again...

   51 counts and he only got 20 days? Well, as you say, 2bpurring, at least they took SOME action!

   That sentence is a joke! The prosecutor must not be a cat person and to even suggest only 60 days should be a crime! Argh!! There have to be better laws if a person can do that much and get only 20 days! No..I kinda feel the Something was as good as nothing here. It didn't send any kind of message out to others. Thank you Eileen. :)

   Karenopa, Instinct & Pattie, I do agree that it was not nearly enough for the crime he committed..If I were on the bench, I would like to throw away the key.. I think what I found most surprising is that there was no mention of him being barred from having animals in the future..

   Because this is Georgia, folks. Dog fighting is considered a nuisance and wild hog mutilation by dog packs is called "good, clean, family fun". Give us time. We are slowly crawling toward walking upright.
