Do These Look Like the Faces Of 3 Springfield Men Arrested For Hunting Frongs With A Slingshot?

SPRINGFIELD – Three men were arrested and charged with illegally hunting in Forest Park Wednesday afternoon after police allegedly found them in the park shooting animals with slingshots. The three men, Patty Poo, 54, of 211 Oakland St., Kehney Moo, 38, of 83 Acushnet Ave., and Hsa Wah, 60 of 85 Acushnet Ave., were each charged with cruelty to animals, hunting without a license, violation of Forest Park hunting ordinances, and breach of the peace while armed with a sling shot. Officers responded to the area and found Wah, Moo and Poo with a bag containing dead turtles, frogs and birds, Delaney said.Hunting is not only illegal in Forest Park, it is not permissible anywhere in Springfield, Delaney said.

Listen I’m an animal guy so I’m as anti hunting as they come.  Like I love all animals except snakes and ants. But are we sure that the Poo and Moo Boys weren’t out hunting for their dinner? I got a feeling these dudes just needed to eat. If that’s the case I can kind of live with it. If they were just doing it to be sadists then lock em up, but I got a feeling this was a case of survival. This was probably to put food on Miss Patty Poo’s table for the next week.   I don’t think these are the types of guys who are gonna be at Foxwoods playing Pai Gow Poker blowing cigarette smoke in your face. These guys are hunting frogs so they don’t die of starvation. At least that’s my vibe.

PS – Patty Poo is a 5 star name.
