It's been brought to my attention that the email
address in the following story does not work. Not to worry ... your illustrious
Atheist has aquired the regular mailing address, telephone number, AND fax
number for the judge. See below (if you have no idea what I'm talking about,
read on
then come back to here):

Fax: 239-335-2387
The Story:
Judicial animal neglect and animal prejudice has gone on long enough.
I am completely fuckin SICK of these assholes out there who kill a child
and get a long term sentance, but if they kill an animal, something JUST
AS INNOCENT, they get a fucking slap on the wrist. I AM GAWD DAMNED SICK
OF IT!!!
The following is something sent to me from a friend. In this posting
you have the ability to send a simple email and powerfully show that you
give a shit about animal death and that you also think that murdering animals
is as VILE as murdering a child:
The other day I found out about a case
against Scott Herrin, his wife Leeah Shepherdson, and their friend Bobbie
Condon. Scott Herrin slit his cat's throat with a steak knife and
then dismembered it with a machete. Why? Because she meowed too much!
Then, these sick fucks took pictures and sent them to Walgreens to be developed!
I saw the pictures
. It was awful! And you know what the worst part is?
All the judge wants to give them is community service in an animal shelter!
You can send mail to the
Judge or call the judge
's assistant at to urge
him to hand down a worse punishment . We can't let this piece of shit
get away with this.
"He may be ordered to go work at the animal
shelter every weekend?that may be it."
?Judge Carlton, on his upcoming sentencing of Scott Herrin
Here's the story:
(click here to see the photographic reality of these
sick fucks)
When Scott Herrin, his wife, Leeah Shepherdson,
and friend Bobbie Condon photographed their gruesome crime in February 2001,
they didn?t expect the Walgreen?s photo lab to alert authorities. Herrin?annoyed
by the cat?s meowing and according to his own testimony?cut her throat and
"mangled" her with a steak knife while a fourth party took photographs.
During her interview with authorities, Shepherdson claimed that the cat
was frantically struggling or, in her words, "thrashing around" during the
attack and that Herrin reached for the steak knife only when a machete proved
to be too dull to kill the cat. Photographs depict not only the attack but
the butchered carcass suspended from a shower rail, with a blood-spattered
Shepherdson and Condon "mugging" for the camera. The cat?s body was allegedly
thrown into a community swimming pool.
Judge Carlton?agreeing with the defense attorney?s contention that
it could not be shown that the cat had been cruelly killed?threw out felony
charges filed by prosecutors, and Herrin, Shepherdson, and Condon were allowed
to plead guilty to misdemeanor animal abuse.
Sentencing for Scott Herrin and Leeah Shepherdson is tentatively
scheduled for late April, and Judge Carlton has already demonstrated his soft
stance on animal abuse by downgrading their charges and by suggesting that
Herrin should pay his debt to society by working in an animal shelter.
Please
call or send *polite* letters to the judge
, urging him to hand down the maximum sentence possible, including a thorough
psychological evaluation, for the sake of the animals and the community
at large (see HelpingAnimals.com
). Urge him also to prohibit the aforementioned individuals from owning
or harboring animals, and remind him that sentencing
an animal abuser to work in an animal shelter is equivalent to putting a child
abuser in a day-care center.
