Nebraska Humane Society employees quietly rejoiced Wednesday when an Omaha woman was convicted of felony animal neglect.
A Douglas County District Court jury deliberated for about 90 minutes before finding Mashaunda I. Ball guilty of causing a Boston terrier named Bubbles to die of starvation.
Ball, 35, could face up to five years in prison and a $25,000 fine when she is sentenced by Judge Shelly Stratman.
Mark Langan, vice president for field operations at the Humane Society, said Ball adopted Bubbles from the shelter in August.

I doubt she will get much time, no way she could get enough time, but I hope every second is fucking MISERY for her.
Starving a tiny dog like that. I can only hope this destroys people's opinion of her forever. She is a wretched excuse for a sentient being.

Scum of the earth should do life.

But then I watch someone that also saves a dog and it begins to build back up.
People that treat animals like this don't deserve to live in a civilized society.

If they didn't want the dog, they could have easily returned it to the shelter. This is just sickening.
