An elderly rural Cabell County man accused of dragging his pet donkey over an asphalt road with an all-terrain vehicle to its eventual death last summer is scheduled to go on trial today in Magistrate Court.


Hurston Gue, 77, of 1348A Bowen Creek Road in the Branchland area, is charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty and, if convicted, faces up to a six-month jail sentence and a possible fine of $300 to $1,000.

1. Man drags ass across asphalt with all-terrain vehicle!

All jokes aside, maybe that is what they should do is drag his ass across the pavement!

2. Have they no trees? No ropes?

Of course the man may be senile, in which case he should be institutionalized.

Oh, but wait -- this is BushAmerica. There is probably no place to send him. I guess he will just have to live his life in that great loony bin known as the former Republic of the United States of America with the rest of us.
