A northeastern Pennsylvania woman who tried to sell "gothic kittens" with ear, neck and tail piercings online wants to reopen her pet grooming business.
Animal welfare workers seized three kittens and a cat from Holly Crawford's Ross Township home in 2008 after she posted the online ads.
Crawford was sentenced to six months of house arrest earlier this year on animal cruelty charges. On Wednesday she asked a county judge to relax her probation conditions so she can reopen her grooming shop, Pawside Parlor, according to The Citizens' Voice newspaper.
Prosecutors did not oppose Crawford's request, saying she has met the requirements of her probation thus far.
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley did not immediately rule on the request.

- It's OK to get your kids' ears pierced but not your cat! What kind of detached, bizarre imbeciles do we have making, enforcing and intterpreting the laws? They should be dragged out of their homes and publicly shot.

- You dope... Cat is incapable of giving you it's consent for ear-piercing unlike your kids who need it for self-confidence boost (crappy parenting, spend more time with you kids then online). Go to your backyard and shoot youself in the privacy of your settings, if incapable of logical thinking.
