Woman Faces $1,000 Fine For Pink Poodle

I think this near-frivilous case will be thrown out one minute into the proceedings. There's other fish to fry, including some lawyers although the bottom of the ocean's a better place.

Depends on the judge. Surely one doesn't want to set a precedent.

If this case gets thrown out, what's next?

Blue horses?
 
Here's something else to think about...

When they say "organic", they say that it's natural and safe for everyone.

Well, did you know that it's not healthy to be giving dogs any food other than dog food? Just because it's okay for humans doesn't mean that it's okay for dogs.

I've got a few friends whose dogs have suffered strokes, gone blind, and/or died from eating food that weren't dog food.

So, saying that the hair dye is organic doesn't mean that it's still okay for dogs. It could be organic, but has it actually been tested or proven to be safe for dogs?
 
*nodding mmmmhhhh and never thought about this* , you have a good point, Neecy!!!!

And blue horses would be detrimental how? And I would imagine that any jusdge would be anxious to set a prededent of throwing out frivolous cases that do nothing but tie up and already knotted judicial system.
 
Maybe, the woman didn't know about the law. If she dyed her poodle pink with organic products there is no harm to the dog. Its the law, she might not win her case keep us updated what happens.

The woman was warned several times in the past.

Therefore, she knew about the law.

She could pay the fine but instead chose to go through the 'already knotted judicial system.'
 
:eek: at this thread!

Very interesting to read and I enjoyed my popcorn! LOL!

In my opinion, I think the woman should have checked with the authorities first to make sure she is not breaking any laws cuz there are so many stupid laws out there. However, as for the dog, beet juice is all natural without chemicals so how can it harm the dog? In the pic, the dog looks happy.

I would rather worry more about illegal dog fighting, puppy mills, abuse, and neglect of animals than this.

And she would not have made that choice had it not been for the ridiclus act of issuing the citation in the first place. I doubt seriously that the judge will reprimand her for exercising her civil rights.

She would never have received the citation in the first place if she didn't dye her dog.

Excercising her civil rights? Please, this isn't a civil rights issue to begin with. :roll:

Why yes it is, Byrdie. She has the civil right to fight the citation in a court of law, and she is fighting for the civil right of doing what she wishes with her own possesions and long as she is creating no harm. As an attorney, you should recognize that. In addition, she is fighting unkust application of the law. How very negligent of you not to recognize that fact.

She violated the law. She violated the law by dying her animal when she was warned not too. Can't you comprehend that? Apparently not. This has nothing to do with her civil rights. She is excercising her civil rights by contesting the said citation in court. Secondly, when one has an animal in their possesion, one has to follow the laws in terms of licensing the animal, not coloring the animal, etc., pertaining to one's jurisdiction.

If you are not going to be a law abiding citizen, you will have consequences to face.

Simple as that.

She is choosing the hard way and making it difficult on herself. Secondly, she is manipulating the media to her cause as she knowingly violated the law by advocating for funding for breast cancer research in dying her dog pink.

Which by the way is tacky.

There are other ways to raise funds for breast cancer research without going to the extreme of dying a dog pink.

And she is quaranteed the right of her day in court to fight the citation. What part of that do you not understand, "barrsiter"?

She didn't manipulate the media, the media sought her out.

Perhaps you consider dying her dog pink to raise awareness for breast cancer "tacky", but your opinion on the tackiness of the act is not an issue. Nor has she been cited for being "tacky". So that is neither here nor there.

I might ask you, what are you doing to raise awareness on any level regarding any issue that affects any gender?

Your personal judgenments regarding the appropriateness of her actions are not an issue here. You are entitled to disagree with her. However, that does not mitigate the fact that she is indeed, entitled to her day in court to fight the application of a law of which the intent had nothing to do with this particular situation.

How do you know if the media sought her out?

Secondly what does this have to do with gender? This issue is about a woman that was warned not to dye her pets and she continually ignored the warnings and got fined.

Again, we will see what the judge has to see on April 7th--when she has her day in court.

BTW..... :) call me "Byrdie the Barrister". It has a nice ring to it.

I believe the issue is what her INTERPRETATION of the law is and what the definition of dye is due to her stating that she didnt dye her animal the fact that she "stained" her animal. I believe she continued to ingore the warnings because she believed she was right in her own definition and wasn't breaking any laws.

We'll see in April when this issue comes to light. Very interesting perspective.
