According to the investigation, in mid-July this year, a man shot a dog that belonged to him in the backyard of his home, possibly with a hunting rifle that had been illegally kept.
The defendant said the two-year-old dog he was holding was extremely aggressive, attacking people and other animals, and did not listen to discipline. He decided to shoot the dog when the animal bit him on the leg. He then shot the dog, picking up a firearm with ammunition found on an abandoned farm a year ago. The defendant’s wife, who found the body of the pet, called the police officers, to whom the man, to avoid responsibility, lied that the animal had been shot by his friend a hunter.
The person pleads guilty and regrets the crimes committed.
The Penal Code establishes that any person who has manufactured, acquired, possessed, carried, transported or disposed of a firearm, ammunition, explosives or explosives without a permit is punished with arrest or imprisonment of up to five years. Anyone who has cruelly treated an animal has tortured it, if it resulted in the death or mutilation of the animal, is punished with public works or a fine, or an arrest, or imprisonment of up to one year.
The criminal case was transferred to the Marijampolė Chamber of the Marijampolė District Court.
