An epic episode of SC nerve and stupidity (with animal abuse!)

[snugglegirl05]

I saw on the news this morning while I was getting ready for work that she "claims" that there are no clear guidelines at the post office stating exactly what can & cannot be shipped in a box.

What an idiot.

She needs this done to her.

Here's a video of her hearing to try and get the dog back. Thank heavens the judge has more common sense then she does.

You can ship live animals through the post office. I just love seeing chicks come through to some of the farms here. But there are several regulations to it and this lady KNEW what she was doing was wrong.

My grandfather mailed a horned toad from Callao, UT to Newport News, VA for me in '58.

The box arrived empty.

But there was a report in the paper of the local Post Office being terrorized by a miniature dragon.

There are many ways to ship an animal, this, by far, is not one of them.

Indeed. I know cos I shipped my cat Viggo from Virginia Beach to upstate NY.

I sent him via airplane cargo and it was going to cost me almost $200 but since I was military they practically cut that in half for me.

Veegs got there OK, though they didn't actually give him any of the food I provided. And he wasn't too happy at first but he learned to like his house.

Throw the book at her. She admitted she told the clerks that it was a toy robot - clearly she knew what she was doing was wrong.

I live in the western suburbs of Minneapolis, so I heard plenty about this story in great detail.

This asshat apparently DID poke holes in the box, but then she put the packing tape OVER THE HOLES. After the USPS canceled her shipment, she was furious and threatened to call the police on them if they didn't refund her money. They told her to go ahead and call them, because they were doing the same thing!

She's either severely fucked up in the head, or she's that big of an animal-hating bitch.

A cheerful update though: the puppy was adopted after a lottery was held by the rescue shelter.

I would name that dog Newman.

Good God in Heaven....I just watched the YouTube video of her preliminary hearing.

What. a. fucking. MORON.

When I first heard this story on the radio back in January, I commented that the dumb bitch probably put a can of food in the box, but no can opener. And here, on this video, she says she put two bottles of water in the box with the dog! WTF is he supposed to do with those??? Grow opposable thumbs amidst the freezing, de-pressurized air within the airplane's hull????

The best part is when she asks for her box back at the end of the hearing.

She needs a Darwin award and a good pistol whipping.
