Woman who abandoned boxer near death gets jail time!

[tesster]

I don't know if any of you remember, but there was a boxer a year or so ago, found near death on the side of the road with his mouth and penis tied up. The vets who cared for him named him Fraser. Melissa Cere, the person who did this, was sentenced to 2 years in jail according to this article!

This is a big win for animal lovers! I thought for sure she would get off with a suspended sentence or something!

Some people are so sick!!!!! She should have gotten more time than that.

She should have gotten much more than that! But nevertheless, I am ecstatic that she got more than a wrist-slap.

How's the baby today?

I will never understand how some people can do such sick and twisted things and still be considered human. At least she gets some time in jail but, I agree, it should be much more. I hope they stop her from owning a pet for life...not just for two years :mad:

The best thing we can do is write to our Member of Parliament or your local goverment representative to support legislation that prevents animal abuse and poses severe penalties on abusers. The laws in Canada are changing for the better because people take action.

Some people are so sick. Thank God this poor guy was found when he was.

Although I am very happy to read she got jail time, it breaks my heart to read this stuff. It's beyond me how a human being can be so cruel as to do this or any other cruel act to an animal that depends on you and only wants to please you. This woman should have her mouth taped and glued shut and be dropped off in the woods to die. Sorry if that's harsh to some of you but I just can't tolerate this behavior!!!!

It makes me SICK to my stomach to read things like this. I am so glad she got jail time, however it should have been much, much more! I sure hope that the boxer is healthy and living happily with a loving family.

I agree with RUFUST. I know it is a big step for the animals that this lady is sreving jail time. But she too deserves to see what she put that dog through. Some people just make me sick!!!

i'm sure she will, if she isn't in a min. security prison.

Unfortunately, the laws are not tougher on animal abusers. As sad as it is, a conviction AND jail time in most US states is typically hard to get in cases of animal cruelty. Most offenders get off with little more than a slap on the wrist.

They really threw the book at her and for that, I'm glad. (Setting aside, of course, the fact that the book needs to be re-written.)
