After some research, his chef comes up with a menu that involves dog meat. The businessman goes to the local dog pound and picks up some puppies to make shish kabob. Before the dinner, he learns that it is illegal to eat dog in his city, as it is considered cruelty to animals. The fine is $100.

The businessman is found guilty and the judge wishes to make an example so fines the wealthy businessman $5000 and 50 hours of community service at the local dog pound. The businessman appeals.

Will he prevail? Why?
