Deputies arrested 49-year-old Rodney J. Blanchard on Sunday and charged him with four-counts of animal cruelty and one-count of battery after a visitor to his home discovered four kittens inside a freezer.
The visitor, Eva Mulder, says Blanchard asked her to get a beer out of the freezer. When she did not find any beer, Blanchard told her that there were kittens inside the freezer.
Deputies transported the kittens to the Emergency Care Center At Tampa Bay Veterinary Specialist in Largo for further care. The SPCA responded to the scene and the kittens are currently in their custody.
Are my taxes paying for this baloney?
So just what is it you are saying here? Baloney that the kittens get the health care they needed from being put in a freezer? Please chose your next words very carefully there.
Are my taxes paying for this baloney?
I don't want to see animals abused but every time I read one of these stories that's the first thing I wonder.

YES.
I think it's nonsense that public workers are rescuing kittens.
What - so you hate me now?

How is this a waste of tax payers money? They took them to a shelter!!! Perhaps you should biatch about public officials using vehicles for personal reasons! Pretty sure that happens all over and costs tax payers a hell of a lot more money! Don't you?? I am sure more taxpayer money is wasted on less compassionate things that a human could do...................GEESH!!!!

Settle down.
My point was merely I found it to be a bit much for the deputies to "transport" the freaking cats.
But as people feel it necessary to comment to the statement I shall reply.

Man you people have some weird cat fetish thing going on.
I'm against animal abuse as much as the next person but I maintain this is a waste of tax dollars.
