[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

DAUPHIN ISLAND - A man accused of fatally shooting a 2-year-old yellow 
Labrador retriever on Dauphin Island's west-end beach on Labor Day was sentenced 
Monday to 120 days in jail and fined $1,000. 
In a two-hour non-jury trial Monday, Municipal Judge James Lackey found 
Patrick James Perschke, a 46-year-old chiropractor from Mobile, guilty of animal 
cruelty and reckless endangerment. Lackey sentenced him to 60 days in jail and a 
$500 fine for each charge, the terms to be served consecutively. A charge of 
carrying a pistol without a permit was dropped for technical reasons.

"As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility to deal with all 
species with kindness, love, and compassion. That these animals suffer through human 
cruelty is beyond understanding. Please help to stop this madness."
