The owner of two american pitbull terriers that attacked two women at Otaki Beach has been sentenced after telling one of the victims that pitbulls were being "picked on".
Julie Harrison and her elderly neighbour Glenys Richardson were attacked outside their homes in Moana St on November 28 last year by neighbouring dogs Ali, 2, and nine-month-old Puppy when they escaped from their property.
Floyd Richards, 25, of Paraparaumu, and Kelly Murray, 21, of Otaki, appeared in the Levin District Court yesterday after each pleaded guilty to two charges of a dog attack on a person, causing serious injury, and one charge of a dog attack on a person.
Judge Gerard Lynch sentenced Richards to four months' community detention, 200 hours' community service and a daily curfew of 9pm-5am.
He was ordered to pay $900 to one victim, and $500 to the other, as well as $1000 to each for emotional trauma.作者: NewLynnHse 时间: 2013-9-1 15:36:41
