A Crown Point, Indiana guy has been mailing out cat-poop sandwiches to people. He's now barricaded himself in his house to avoid being arrested. Is mailing out cat-poop sandwiches actually illegal?

One for the wtf? files there.

That's... Original, to say the least.

Not illegal so much as it is incredibly unsanitary.

probably counts as harrassment or terrorism or something

Heh, Chemical warfare.

Heh, Chemical warfare.

Bioterrorism!!!!

i remember it being made illegal because some woman offered it as a business, you pay her 25$ she sends poop to person of your choice... i couldn't find her site anymore, but here is another like it. Send a poop.com :P (http://www.poopegifts.com/dog-poop-goal.html)

I dont think you're allowed to send people disgusting things like that in the mail- I remember something about a woman that send people dog shit with a nasty message.
This was also popular with fish too-sending someone a dead fish as a message.

Isnt there enough to deal with between junk mail, advertisments and then spaam in your email?
I dont need actual shit in the mail.

I cant imagine paying $20.00 or more to send someone shit. Be an adult-call them or meet them and tell them what you think, or keep it to yourself and let it go.

Going out of your way to play a cheap prank like this only leads to sorrow and stupidity.

Did these people never hear of DIY?

the police need to stop opressing people so much. they punish people for little mistakes they make in life.

That was cat poop? I wondered where it came from. Wasn't kinda dry and salty, but it wasn't too bad.

Well, if you sent it directly, they could probably sue. If you sent it through a company anonymously, you'd probably be OK. (not sure if that would hold up in court, but you'd assume the company wouldn't keep records. You'd have to check)

Well, I'm sure that there's *some* law against it. If not, one should be written. For the good of the land.

Are you sure it was cat poop? ;)

Surely it would come under public health regulations?

If I remember correctly, because it contains bacteria, it would have to have a bio hazard label on it. I know things going to the local HS science-biology teacher has to be labeled.

Yeah If you can't take a shit on someone's front porch, then this would therefore be considered illegal as well.

Never trust anyone who calls himself, Vampire Killer, has three cats and is over 50.

I hope for his sake that he used self-seal envelopes. Might be difficult washing your tongue if the worst happened...

It's considered a biohazard, and as such, you can't send it through the mail (at least, not without a lot of cost and hassles with packaging, etc...).

Phbt, if he wants something that a cat produces that can be used for chemical warfare, he should take my cat Little Man's piss. That stench can kill all cows in a two mile radius. And it doesn't go away.

One?

You're not much of a follower of DCD, are you? :(

I cant imagine paying $20.00 or more to send someone shit.

I can imagine myself doing it...and certainly Lunatic Goofballs. Speaking of which, why hasn't our favorite clown posted on this one yet? It's right up his alley.

It's right up his alley.
Har, harrrr... :D

Wouldn't this fall under Post Office regulation against mailing biological hazards? If the feds wanted to be sadistic bastards they could treat this guy like he was The Anthrax Mailer.
