I'm very familiar with the animal laws here. I had an incident with my dog nipping someone excitedly expecting a treat, and I was charged with 2 misdemeanors. The "victim" was a friend at the time and decided to make a case out of it. Her husband is an influential person in my area and he had a lot of influence over the prosecutors office. Fortunately for me , the judge was more reasonable. I fought it for 7 months and just recently got the outcome that was more fair to the situation.
