More Evidence the end is near...

"FORT WORTH - A Euless man who admitted placing a stray dog inside a washing machine was sentenced Tuesday to one year in jail.
Chad Edward Ellis, 32, pleaded guilty last year to one count of animal cruelty.
Grapevine police said Mr. Ellis placed the dog inside a washer last January and turned on the hot water cycle.
The dog, a black Labrador mix, was later euthanized.
Mr. Ellis also was placed on probation for five years for four counts of burglary and two counts of theft, said Dixie Bersano, an assistant Tarrant County district attorney. "

You'd think animals have more protection than humans... We put young babies that aren't born yet "through the washer" and there isn't a second thought.. but hey there is money in that... bleh
