He was furious with his seven-month-old dog for damaging his apartment. To punish her, this resident of Redon (Ille-et-Vilaine) threw her from the 3rd floor last week, reports Ouest-France. Seriously injured and suffering from internal bleeding after the fall, the dog died a few hours later in a veterinary clinic.

Judged Tuesday in immediate appearance before the criminal court of Rennes for "serious abuse of a domestic animal resulting in death", the individual was sentenced to eighteen months in prison, nine of which were suspended. His second dog, aged 7, was also confiscated and entrusted to the SPA. He is also permanently prohibited from keeping an animal.
