A University of Georgia art student faces misdemeanor charges of animal cruelty for allegedly crushing several mice to death. The art student, Mark Starling, allegedly took a 2 x 4 piece of wood and crushed each mouse. Georgia police allege it is not so much the fact that Starling killed the mice, but rather the manner in which Starling proceeded to dispose of them.

Georgia’s chief of police commented: “I don’t look for this individual to go to prison by any means. He’s looking at probation, community service, maybe some counseling[.]”
