In March, Gutierrez changed his story and agreed to “cooperate with prosecutors,” so his 15 counts of animal cruelty were dropped to one. What about people who are kind and decent and obey the law? Who suffers for these crimes? The innocent birds and the decent, law-abiding people who cared for them.

Responding to an anonymous tip about a neglected cat, the Humane Law Enforcement agents arrived at Stewart’s residence to find a seven-week-old, one-pound orange tabby with his whiskers cut off and a serious injury to his right front paw.
