The owner of a French bulldog must compensate, at R $ 10,000 for moral damages, to a couple who found their lost pet. The case was registered in Lagoa Santa, in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, according to the Minas Gerais Court of Justice (TJMG), this Tuesday (20). The man even posted crimes on Facebook claiming the dog was stolen.
According to the lawsuit, the dog was found on the street without identification and injured. Sensitized, the couple took the animal home. Days later, the people who found the bulldog found a “Wanted” sign with a photo of the dog and a reward of R $ 1,000.
They contacted the number provided to return the dog, but the guardian, in addition to not wanting to pay, accused the couple through social networks claiming that it was “opportunism.”
After the couple filed a lawsuit, the animal’s guardian appealed, claiming that “none of the comments on social media was enough to damage the personality of the couple who found the dog. He also said they knew about the search for the animal but It took days to return it. That. “
However, the speaker, Judge Valdez Leite Machado, analyzed the facts differently. “In this context, I understand that it is undeniable that the accused committed an unlawful act, which went beyond the constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of expression, insofar as it offended the honor and image of the perpetrators,” said the magistrate.
In addition to moral damage, the man will also pay R $ 1,000 offered as a reward.
