UGA Student Charged with Killing Puppies Denies Accusations
Reported by: ANDREA JONES
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A University of Georgia student has been charged with seven felony
counts of animal cruelty for allegedly beating a litter of puppies to
death.

Athens police said Ashley Council, 20, violently killed the weeks-old
puppies and left them in a box behind a convenience store last month.

Council had been employed as a clerical worker at UGA's Veterinary
Teaching Hospital since last August. She was suspended from her job
Monday, pending the outcome of the investigation, UGA officials said.

Police traced a shipping label on the box, which originally held a
comforter from JCPenney, to Council. Animal control officers also
found a long metal pipe on top of the box that held the seven puppies'
bodies. Council was arrested early Thursday morning and taken to
Athens Clarke County jail. She was released on $7,000 bond, $1,000 per
count.

Athens-Clarke County Police Detective Rebecca Taft said the puppies
were covered with bruises and some had open wounds. "They suffered,"
Taft said. "They were all huddled together in a little bunch."

Taft said the black, tan and white puppies were a small breed mix and
she estimated their age between seven and eight weeks old.

Council was a part-time student clerical worker and her job did not
involve contact with animals, vet school spokeswoman Tracy Giese said
in an e-mail. Taft said Council adopted a dachshund from Animal
Control in June. She called Animal Control the morning she allegedly
killed the puppies to ask about surrendering them. She was told she
could bring the puppies in, said Patrick Rives, animal control
superintendent.

"She was told all she had to do was live in Clarke County and it
wasn't a problem." The student was not supposed to have dogs in her
apartment, Taft said.

=====================

This "woman" is a serial killer in the making. Do not let her get away
with it. Please sign petition asking for vigorous prosecution and
maximum penalties including jail time.

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/vet...ppies-to-death

This petition calls for the Athens-Clarke County DA to vigorously
prosecute and seek the maximum penalties for the beating of the litter
of 7 puppies to death in Athens-Clarke County, GA. If Ashley Council
is
found guilty, we demand that the DA seek the maximum, no plea deals
and
with provisions that she is forbidden to ever own or work around
animals
again.

From conflicting reports, it is still unclear if Ms. Council still
works
at the GA Vet Hospital. If she still does, we urge the University of
Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital to immediately suspend Ashley
Council pending the outcome of the trial and immediate termination if
she is found guilty. We believe that anyone who is charged with
multiple
animal abuse felony offenses should not be employed at a vet school.

(There are 4 news sources on the petition including one where Council
says "it was unintentional." What? She was beating the box and the
puppies got in the way? Evil woman!!)
