Woman Who Threw Puppy From Car Goes To Jail

https://www.thedodo.com/woman-throws-puppy-snowflake-1473870091.html

"It costs too much to get it treated," Ivanchenko told officers, according to police. "I couldn't afford it. So that's why I put it in the bag, and I put it on the side of the road."

...


Authorities, however, say Ivanchenko would later buy a new puppy to replace Snowflake.

....

For her crimes, Ivanchenko was sentenced to a year in jail on Monday and ordered to pay $21,795 in restitution to the ASPCA. Additionally, Ivanchenko is barred from owning a companion animal for 15 years and must register with New York City's new animal abuse registry for five years.

If enforced.

It will be centuries before that idea is allowed down here, sadly. We are still battling opponents of neuter/spay.
