    Default Charged With Animal Cruelty for Helping a Stray

    A homeowner in Massachusetts found a stray dog in the neighborhood, and called animal control. They didn't come out. The dog needed medical attention, but the homeowner didn't want to touch the dog or to try to get it into a car. The homeowner gave the dog some food and water.

    A few days later a police officer was in the neighborhood and saw the dog, and now the homeowner is being charged with animal cruelty. The homeowner did nothing but try to help the dog, so why would the homeowner be criminally charged?
