Woman Jailed For Trying To Mail Puppy Through U.S. Mail

Woman Jailed For Trying To Mail Puppy Through U.S. Mail: "


Before I post this stories, I read them, obviously. More often than not, I shake my head and wonder what people were thinking. I know what 39-year-old Stacey Champion from Minneapolis, Minnesota was thinking, her ass was being cheap when she tried to mail a 4-month-old Schnauzer puppy, priority mail.

According to the report, Champion responded to all of the postal service questions properly and was very clear to tell the postal worker to be very careful with the box and if they heard strange noises coming from the package, not to be alarmed, she was shipping a toy robot. That is why I said she was being cheap, she knew that she couldn’t send that damned dog through the mail, that’s not new news.

Postal workers became suspicious of the package when it began to move on it’s own (ya think?), they opened it and found the puppy. The breathing holes for the puppy had been covered with packing tape, detectives and postal workers surmised that the dog would not have survived the trip. A spokesperson for the post office explained that had the package not been caught in time that it would have ended up in the cargo area of an airplane and that sometimes the temperature gets about 40 degrees below zero at an altitude of 40,000 feet.

Champion was charged with one misdemeanor count of animal cruelty and may face federal charges of attempting to send a live animal by mail. Champion was denied the refund of the $22.00 shipping she paid and a refund of a few dollars she had placed under the dogs collar. She’s got more nerve than she’s got sense.
