At least the judge dropped the charges, like he should have.

And people want more gov't oversight of everything, go figure.

This kinda reminds me of the farmer in NJ (yes there are some farms there) back in the 80's who ran over a whole nest of rats and killed 'em all with a tractor and disc setup, using repeated passes. Man, I'd like to have seen that! Yep, he got into all kinds of trouble. I believe it was called an animal cruelty case. I guess he should have captured them live and turned them loose where they belong.....say the state capitol grounds.
