Man Forced to Wear Sign for Animal Cruelty
Jul 22, 8:26 PM (ET)
HOPWOOD, Pa. (AP) - A western Pennsylvania man said he endured more than he expected when he agreed to an unusual sentence for an animal cruelty conviction.
Ulysses Zimmerman, 22, of Point Marion, pleaded guilty to animal cruelty for allegedly neglecting his dog, denying it veterinary care and strangling the animal.
But Zimmerman didn't pay a fine or spend time in jail. Instead, he stood at a busy intersection in South Union Township Thursday, wearing a sign that read, "I Plead Guilty ... Animal Cruelty is a Crime ... My Dog's Name WAS Salt and Pepper."
Zimmerman was supposed to stand at the intersection for eight hours, but Robin Moore, the Fayette County Humane officer who devised the sentence, allowed Zimmerman to leave early because of all the abuse passing motorists hurled at him.
"Everybody started screaming at me and cussing me. I got there at 9:30 a.m., but Robin said at noon that she'd heard enough and that I could leave," Zimmerman said.
Zimmerman denies he intentionally hurt his pet.


Interesting punishment.

He should have his junk A-1 saused and be hand cuffed, naked, in the fetal position, in a large cage in at the pound.

Then be euthanized for kicks.

Or better yet! Did you see the movie jackass??? remember when they put that electric thing on that guys 'gootch'? hHAAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[OGRipper]

Definitely should have made him stay all day.

Then again, he's an animal. The Humane Officer probably got confused and was trying to stamp out more animal cruelty.

On the subject of animals rulling the roost. I let our german shepard out in the back yard to run around for a few minutes this morning. She comes back the the door and leads me to the side yard to show me the gate is open. Smart dog.
