Pennsylvania dog groomer Holly Crawford, 35, went on trial yesterday for selling online for “hundreds of dollars” cats with pierced ears.  According to Melinda Merck, an animal cruelty investigator and veterinarian, the piercings not only damaged the cats’ hearing, but they hampered as well their sense of jumping and balance.  Not to mention dignity!
