Gothic kitten groomer wants to reopen shop
Remember the woman who attempt to sell pierced cat on line? The Sweet Valley woman who was convicted of animal cruelty and sentenced to six months of house arrest. This past week Crawford asked Judge Tina Polachek Gartley if she could reopen her grooming shop called Pawside Parlor, which has been closed since April, part of the sentence handed down by Luzerne County Judge Tina Polachek Gartley after a jury found Ms. Crawford's practice of piercing kittens' ears and necks and docking their tails constituted animal cruelty. Ms. Crawford filed a petition in October to relax her probation, saying she has struggled to find work since her conviction and that reopening her business would allow her to support her family, pay court costs and serve as a role model for her daughter. On the other hand, she has been worrying about restarting her animal-grooming business though a lot of her customers don't want to take their animals anywhere else.
Prosecutors did not oppose Crawford's request, since she has met the requirements of her probation and left it to the judge's discretion.
