Several years ago in Newark, NJ, a man captured a rat in his house and brought it outside to his small garden and killed it with a shovel. Someone saw him kill the rat and informed the local animal cruelty organization. An agent came to speak to the man, and during the course of the conversation arrested him for animal cruelty. The accused man called one of the New York TV stations and they began an "investigative report" night after night, causing some embarrassment, but still, the ever diligent prosecutor did his duty and brought the man to court. I don't remember how the man was found, but I do remember a memorable quote. When the prosecutor questioned the man about why he had not let the captured rat go free and unharmed in a safe location far away from the man's home, the man became flustered and exclaimed, "But I wanted to kill the rat!"
