WTF is wrong with Colleton Co?

The punishment was nothing but a slap on the wrist. It should have been one month of jail time for each incidence of animal abuse running consecutive or better yet, let her serve her time living in the same conditions as the Animals she abused. Animal abusers are worthless human beings. Just like Kristi Noem.

Tom I definitely am with you on that one. She got off with a walk in the park! Ten days sitting on her Sorry Ass in the Colleton County Jail what a joke!

Prison-pushers, have some imagination!
What good did 10 days, or longer or shorter time would, do for the animals with the wrong doers sitting idle in jail?
The punishment should have been some ACTIVE cleaning and feeding for the very abused/neglected animals with incarceration used only as a last resort upon PERSISTENT and UNEXCUSED failure to do the remedial work.
Jails/prisons are intellectual laziness worse than the woman’s physical laziness in neglecting the animals.

Our system is not set up for that. And I would never let this person within ten feet of an animal again. Forcing her to care for them will only put them at further risk. They need care from someone who will care for them and love them. There is no rehabilitating a person like this. Punishment is deterrence. Jail time is deterrence but not ten days. If you know when you abuse an animal you are going to spend months in prison, which means you will probably lose your house, your car, etc. you may think twice; and even if you won’t think twice, seeing you sit your ass in jail for months may deter someone else. As I said, to me animal abusers are worthless human beings; so whatever punishment our system of justice doles out will not likely be enough for me.

Is there a back story? Was she granted money or given charitable contributions under the guise of looking out for animals but spent the money elsewhere?
