The pit bull was malnourished. The man was accused of committing acts of cruelty against an animal.
In a hearing held this Wednesday, the legal assistant Julieta González reached an agreement by which a man, JCC, agreed to serve a suspension of trial on trial for inflicting animal abuse.
The man was accused of inflicting ill-treatment and carrying out acts of cruelty against an animal, as the author (article 1, sections 2.1. And 3.7 of Law 14,346.)
During the hearing held, the representative of the Public Prosecutor’s Office explained to the judge that the defendant has no record and that he expressed the will to repair the damage caused to the animal. In this context, he added that the agreement is for the purpose of providing the animal with better living conditions.
The trial suspension is for a period of one year. During it, the defendant must refrain from committing new crimes, maintain the address and submit to the control of the judicialized population. In addition, they must repair the damage caused, renouncing the possession of the animal and giving it for adoption to the family that has it in their care.
Finally, the defendant will have to donate 12 bags of food of 10 kilos during the year that the suspension lasts and must take a course on responsible animal care provided by the Directorate of Animal Welfare, belonging to the municipality of Neuquén.
The events occurred on June 25, in a house in the capital Neuquén. That day the dog, a pitbull breed, approximately one year old, was rescued, who was in a general state of malnutrition and with a generalized skin infection caused by scabies, which had caused multiple bleeding lesions.
According to the theory presented by the Public Prosecutor’s Office official, the defendant did not feed the dog in his care in sufficient quantity and quality and caused him “unnecessary suffering” by not having given him veterinary attention.
