Tracy, according to the reporter's news report, the puppy was drowned. The question the jury had to ask themselves is drowning an animal falls under the definition of the misdemeanor code. Enforcement of our cruelty statutes will continue, competent prosecutions for such acts will continue, and rational, compassionate juries throughout the State of Idaho will continue to render guilty verdicts upon the perpetrators of such acts as they have for decades. Please refer to our website to read our full statement on the matter. The turtle was an invasive species and Mr. Crosland did not have a permit. Therefore, the Idaho Fish and Game has the authority to follow their guidelines.
But the turtle was not sick... Take it but did not have to kill it. They killed a it and it was in good health so who are the hypocrites now . You can't enforce a law by breaking it. Common sense has no room in politics....
They did not follow the law drowning is considered cruelty and Crossland son let the puppy get malnourished did not take 2 vet for medical care abuse cruelty
