It turns out that beating someone with a dead dog is in fact illegal

Back in June we ran a story about a woman who beat a dog breeder over the head with a dead puppy. That link has expired, so I can’t be sure, but I’m sincerely hoping that this is a follow-up to that post, because how many dead-puppies-as-weapons incidents can happen during one presidential term? (What, I needed a timeframe is all. I’m not blaming Dubya for this, not really.) Magic Stones reports that Lisa Hopfer has been found guilty of assault and trespassing, but because she basically hit the guy with meat, there’s nothing on her record about her attitudes towards animals, at least nothing that could stop her from buying another chihuaha, which she seems to have done. Link.
