A Minnesota woman has been charged with animal cruelty after she tried to ship a live puppy to a relative using a United States Postal Service flat rate box:
From WCCO (http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2011/02/01/woman-tries-to-mail-puppy-in-box/):
The poodle-mixed pup is being held temporarily at the animal control office in Minneapolis but still belongs to the woman who allegedly tried to mail it — 39-year-old Stacey Champion.
“Clearly there wasn’t a whole lot of thought that went into this,” said Sgt. Angela Dodge with the Minneapolis Police Department.
Dodge said last Tuesday Champion took the puppy to the Loring Post Office. The puppy was in a box with a priority sticker on it.
“A puppy is a definite no-no,” said Pete Nowacki with the U.S. Postal Service.
Postal workers didn’t know right away about the puppy inside, until the box fell off the counter.
“Apparently the puppy must have moved at that time and the box had shaken and fallen. At that point, the clerk and supervisor could hear a sound like panting coming from inside the box,” recalled Nowacki.
“They could hear it in the box, they opened the box and discovered a live puppy on there with no food or water,” said Dodge.
Champion did want the puppy to get there quickly because she mailed him 2-day priority. Officials say she was mailing the puppy as a present for a relative.UPDATE:
KMSP has more information on the puppy, including information from the USPS that the dog would have been shipped by air and probably would have died.
They should convict her, then ship her off to jail in a box. [ROFL1]

just too dumb to live
39-year-old Stacey Champion is a raving retard and should be immediately expelled from the gene pool before she can breed it into some poor unsuspecting kid

I have a nail gun, Pine boards And taking some time off work in two weeks!! Getter Done!! [Weight] I get along with my dog better than most people.
She probably learned her lesson from going on a road trip with a dog before in the past. It'd be great to just mail your kids and dogs to your location.
amazing the stupidity of some people. there should be a law that requires she be fixed immediately. any children taken away.
Personally, I don't think anything worse than a fine should happen to the lady. Like, a $25 fine.

This!

Hmm... could stick you in a box with no food or water 2-day priority and see if you grow some basic human empathy between there and when the box is opened on the other end.
[[Help]]
Personally I would like to sock her in the face, but alas I don't hit women (even the stupid ones). When a person does that what does that really say about them? Also when a person condones that type of behavior what kind of low moral values do they both share? Maybe I'm bias because I have 4 dogs but I value my dogs live's more than I value most of the people I meet.

But you can shoot em.[ROFL1]

OK I would like to say right now I have no intentions of leaving the state to do harm to the stupid lady. Nor will I condone (out loud) any mis-fortune that befalls her.
I like animals as much as everyone else, probably more, and have plenty of empathy. I just don't get upset over things like this, especially when they are just fine.

so you are OK with cleaning up messes created by the shallow end of the pool?
The only reason "they" are OK is because "they" have people looking out for them that have a clue. Screw that. I dont need that sort of liability. Stupid people need to be held accountable for their actions.
I find it fascinating and somewhat comforting that people are so dependent on everyone else to look out for them or clean up their messes.
Yesterday the the power went out, I Seriously had no issue with it. My Neighbors went into a friggin' panic! "Maybe we should go get Food!", "What do we do?", "Where's the Flashlights?" (Mind you it was Daylight, 2pm)
I am not a "Survivalist Nut" by Any means, but I am smart enough to know that in Colorado in the winter power outages are to be expected, you always keep 2 weeks worth of food/water in case of blizzard. Always keep flashlights on hand and know where the extra batteries for them are. These people were freaking like it was the end of the world. Sometimes I think I am a Bit of a Survivalist because I Do have a DCM Battery with a power inverter as well as a small generator
They will run the Gas Heater unit in the house if needed.
Sometimes I kind of wish the laws of natural selection were more commonplace.

Yes, Garfield!
30 days in county, 20 suspended, 10 actually down (<-- trivial) with 2 of the 10 in a tight-fitting card board box. Let her enjoy two full days of no food, slight dehydration and the joy of sitting in her own piss and shit. 2 years probation and a 10-year ban on any level of pet ownership and / or care.
Stupid bitch.

That's the problem. The only reason the dog is alive is because it happened to move and knock the box off a table. The person said they thought something was up because they heard panting, not because they saw air holes in the box.
BEST case scenario the dog would have arrived severely dehydrated and messed up for life.
Between the arctic temperatures, the species need for oxygen (holes or not, the boxes are stacked) and the fact that my company gets half our boxes crushed... I would have given that dog <1% chance of survival if not for it managing to fall off a table and the sense of the person picking the box back up.
Administrative hearing early next week to "get her dog back!" Still facing the criminal animal cruelty charge.
Some people just sicken me with their stupidity and idiocy, Stacey "I'm a completely stupid bitch" Champion is on the list.
