She's like a slightly toned down bunny boiler

Were the goldfish dead before she fried them?

[Earl]

I don't know the answer to that.

[mimseycal]

If the fish were dead before she fried them then 'cruelty' plays no part in it. After all, some anglers fry fish they have lifted out of the water.

Not pets though.

Are there laws against killing pets in California?

[Earl]

According to the Pasadena police spokesman, no.

Apparently not ... if we take the word of Vance Mitchell, the spokesman for the local police department.

So there wasn't much they could do about it.
