Jogger won't be charged for kicking poodle
By Julie Scharper and Andrea F. Siegel
Sun reporters
Tippett and her roommate, Margo Owen, informed the Anne Arundel County state's attorney's office yesterday that they did not want to pursue felony charges against the jogger.
...
Kristin Riggin, a spokeswoman for the state's attorney's office, said the poodle's plight has received more attention than cases of murdered or abused children.
"Are people sending checks to children who are abused?" Riggin said. "Are people sending money to foster care?"
With no Felony charges PETA no longer has it's action alert up and things have returned to reasonable expectations for the government to do the responsible thing.
