Speak Softly and Carry a Beagle
Hard-hitting stuff from the Daily News: The woman who once voiced Lucy in some old "Peanuts" TV specials is now facing jail time... for carrying a stick at an animal rights protest in the Valley.

Apparently, attending the rally at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, she carried a bull hook to protest the use of the long wooden pole with a metal hook on the end by circus elephant trainers.

The paper says she'll be sentenced to 30 days in jail under "an obscure Los Angeles ordinance intended to keep pickets from turning their signs into weapons that might endanger police officers."

Good grief!
