DOVE Post Staff DALLAS TOWNSHIP - The shooting of a neighbor's cat has resulted in a hefty fine for a Shadyside resident. Warren Dailey pled guilty April 1 to animal cruelty before District Justice James Tupper and paid a $100 fine plus $77.50 in court costs. According to the cat's owner, Laura Sabulski, a neighbor of Dailey’'s, Dailey admitted to her son, Chuck, that he had shot the eight-month-old cat in the head March 4 because it was eating his birds. “He doesn't have any birds," said Mrs. Sabulski, who owns three other cats. “He just has a feeder for the wild birds in his yard. When the last cat was shot, Chuck saw him carrying a gun and a plastic bag. He told Chuck hedid it.” - - Dailey also told Chuck he shot another cat belonging to her Feb- ruary 12, “to keep the cat popula- tion down,” she said. She took the seven-month-old cat, which had been shot in the stomach, toa vet, who was able to save it. “Dr. Hennessey said if the bullet had been an inch higher, the cat would have died,” she said. The incident was investigated by officers Jeff Dennis and Elliott Ide, who immediately referred it to the Luzerne County S.P.C.A. to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest because Dailey is re- ‘lated to police chief Carl Miers. Dailey is his brother's stepfa- ther-in-law, Miers said. The township doesn't have any ordinances prohibiting residents from shooting guns, Miers added. “Dailey admitted he shot the cats,” Miers said. “We usually prosecute this type of case as cruelty to animals - purposely killing, maiming, disfiguring or poisoning an animal. It's a misde- meanor punishable by a maxi- mum [ine of $500 or imprison- ment for up to two years. First- time offenders may apply for the Accelerated Renablitaton (ARD) program.” Hitting, rotlentinge otherwise abusing an animal is prosecuted as a summary (non-traffic) viola- tion, he added. Ironically, it's easier lo prosecute shooting a dog than shooting a cal. It's been proven in court that dogs can be domesticated but cats can't, Miers said. S.P.C.A. animal cruelly officer Robert Arnold, who investigated the case, also said Dailey had admitted shooting the cat. SCORE counselors C.
