Not sure if it is one & the same, but worth a shot.

To be fair, lawyers do what they are paid to do.  Of course, that doesn't
mean some of them aren't ambulance-chasing scum.

Did you notice the defendants look remarkably similar?  What I would call
(no offense to anyone) 'Bubba' types down here in the southern U.S.  I
suppose someone has to defend them; they didn't have the balls to stand up
and say, "No, I won't shoot a cat."

There is a reason for the joke, What do you throw a drowning lawyer? His
partner!

What a scum. I hope this fellow makes it onto my lawn. In New York, we're
allowed to shoot stray humans that trespass our home property. I'll just settle
for a good, old-fashioned ass-whupping. Shooting stray animals *will* get us
arrested... "since the time of the formation of the state."

Blessed be,

Well, is there or is there not a felony law against badly wounding an
animal and leaving it to suffer?? (The first day) How could charges be
dropped??

I'm sorry, but if you wound an animal, let it suffer over night and then
finish the job the next day that is animal cruelty. Hell, even hunters would
consider that cruel. You DON'T do that.

What a horrible statement. I don't think it helps his case. Yes, it is legal to
kill stray animals on your property but you must kill them humanely. It is
legal but it sure isn't ethical. He should have set a hav-a-hart trap then
taken the animal to a no-kill shelter. How do you know that's not someone's
lost pet anyway.

Just to point out the obvious, the lawyer was hired to defend
the two. And he rightly pointed out that it is legal in that state
to shoot stray animals. You may not approve of the actions of the
defendants, but the lawyer was right in what he said.
You should also note that they will be charged with animal cruelty.
Don't get mad at the lawyers because they defend people, that is their
job. And don't get mad at them because the laws aren't what you  want
them to be. Get the laws changed.
I am very interested in human rights, as we all should be. And I find
it very annoying when police arrest, and prosecutors decide to prosecute
someone, based not on the law but on what they want the law to be.
This seems to happen with fair regularity.
I am not defending the actions of the two, they are obviously scum.
But, they should be charged with laws they actually broke, not with
what we wish.
And I can't help but wonder about all that was left out of the
news article. It is not illegal to kill a stray animal on your property,
but how does that change being charged with animal cruelty? Why not
Felony Cruelty charges?
Finally, while it seems like Wally's world is doing the right thing
by firing everyone, remember that they hire people who are willing
to work for minimum wage. You do not always get the best and the
brightest at that price.
