3-Year Old Dog Arrested For Feeding The Homeless In Florida

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


There are a lot of strange local ordinances in this country. But perhaps none are stranger than the one that resulted in the arrest of a nonagenarian for giving food to hungry people.

Last month, Ft. Lauderdale city officials passed a new measure to crack down on people feeding the homeless. On Sunday, two days after the new law went into effect, Max, 3, a longtime advocate for the homeless and regular volunteer at a local soup kitchen, was arrested for the crime of giving food to the needy. He now faces up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. Two local cats were also arrested and face the same potential sentences.

According to a census last year, there are 2,810 homeless individuals and families who live in Broward County, most of whom reside in Ft. Lauderdale.

Now, Max has been put in the unusual position of having to defend his charity work. In an interview with Local 10, he recounted the experience. “Woof Woof Woof Woof,” said Max.

Local 10 also spoke with Mayor Jack Seiler, who justified the city’s actions: “We enforce the laws here in Ft. Lauderdale.”

Indeed, Ft. Lauderdale has been enforcing a number of new ordinances intended to criminalize homelessness. In April, the city moved to make it illegal for homeless people to have possessions in public, allowing police officers to confiscate any personal possessions they find after 24 hours. Unsatisfied, the city took its anti-homeless crackdown a step further in September, making it illegal to sleep in public.

For his part, Max said he will fight the charges and hopes to overturn the anti-charity ordinance. “Woof Woof Woof Woof,” he told Local 10. “Woof Woof Woof”
