Fawn Beaten To Death
An Ohio woman is accused of beating a fawn to death with a shovel.EUCLID, Ohio—Resident Dorothy Richardson, 76, said she was defending herself when she beat to death a 25-pound fawn that was crouched in her flower bed, then stuffed the fawn’s body in a cardboard box and put it out on trash day.
A widow, she said she has been defending her garden against deer for years and this time took a shovel and beat the fawn until it died.
She said the fawn’s eyes contacted hers, like he was going to jump and bite her head off.
Euclid City Councilman Christopher Gruber says Richardson told him something different.
Gruber says Richardson said she hit it once and, according to her, it screamed and she hit it two more times, then she said that what she wanted to do was put it at the end of the yard so the other deer know not to mess with her.
Gruber is now a witness in the animal abuse case against Richardson. If convicted, she faces up to 60 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.

I will say it again! That deer was vermin, being in her garder just like a mouse or rat and needed to be dispatched. The only thing that could have been done different would have been to have a nice bar-b-q. All you peta and animal rights supporters should be locked up for being the terrorist you are. I am a proud member of the other peta… People Eatting Tasty Animals
It’s only a deer. It would have been culled eventually.
you have got to be kidding me,, 25 lbs what if it was a child would she have killed the child as well,,someone needs to beat her in the head with a shovel till she dies
Put the old lady in front of a firing squad-be done with her. OR stuff as many vegetables down her mouth until she begs for the firing squad. I am pro-life (in prison for her). That poor deer. Notice the spelling.
Commenting period is now over. Thank you for your participation
I wonder how many of you defending the Fawn are pro-choice?

The death toll under Stalin was estimated to be as high as 60 million but researchers are holding it at around 30 million.
The 60 mark would include the people that died from his Govt.control over Agriculture which starved them to death.
kind of like the direction we are heading in.
I dont know about the Christian’s. The church had a bad habit of burning all records and writing’s of anything during and before them ,which brought us the great dark ages.
They still burn witches to death in the name of Christ in Africa.
meh…...

“ ... they need to re-evaluate laws for animals ....“
I can understand that.
KAT: “I, for one, an sick and tired of animals being:
“hurt ...
“killed
“OR euthenized [sic] by ignorant humans.
JAG:
HURT - I agree with unnecessary, intentional hurt.
At times it is NECESSARY to hurt an animal to stop an attack.
At times an animal is accidentally hurt, through no fault of the human, e.g. a deer or other animal suddenly colliding with a vehicle in motion at a lawful speed.
KILL: I agree with unnecessary intentional kill.
At times it is necessary to kill an animal to stop an attack.
What do you propose as an alternative, for those animals at Humane Society that are humanely destroyed {killed}, not euthanized}, because no one chooses to adopt then?
JAG: EUTHANIZED: I agree with unnecessary euthanization.
At times the animal is so ill or injured, that there is no other realistic alternative.
KAT: “... to make people like her pay a ‘high price’ for crimes committed against animals.“
JAG: Why not focus first on women who slowly bake their babies to death in unattended hot vehicles.
After that problem is under control, we can work on those situations where humans can be punished for misconduct concerning animals, e.g., FAILING TO CONTROL, LICENSE (if necessary), SECURE (where required) animals.Jail and fine the people.

I don’t have the stats on Stalin, but to me he was worse than Hitler. Do you have links to the body count of the Christians? I know that it got rather high during the Crusades. The Inquisition may have not helped either.

“... The worlds worst atrocities were commited by Christians they have brutally slain,raped and enslaved numerous people throughout history.
They have surpassed Hitler and Stalin spreading the love.
