B92 News Crime & War crimes Crime & War crimes Man gets jail time for killing neighbor's dog 28 December 2007 | 15:33 | Source: B92, Beta VALJEVO -- A court in a western Serbian town has decided to send a man to jail over the cruel killing of a neighbor's dog.
Mioljub Saviæ, from a village near the town of Valjevo, was initially found guilty and sentenced to three months suspended.
But the court Thursday decided to change the verdict to three months in jail, and a further year of suspended sentence.
Saviæ, who is a hunter, used his hunting rifle to kill his neighbor's dog, and then tie the animal to the bumper of his car and drag its body for ten kilometers, driving through three villages on the way.
The charges brought against him by the prosecution, after a criminal complaint filed by the owner of the dog and an animal rights group, said that he committed the crime with premeditation, without warning, and in cold blood.
The case could prove to be landmark in a country where cruel treatment of animals, especially in rural areas, often goes unpunished.
New legislation regulating the sector, in line with European standards, is also expected soon.

A few years ago in Texas, 4 white men tied a black man to their truck and dragged him for 10 miles....

At least he killed it before dragging it behind his car, unfortunatley the Media has not presented the offenders side of the story. I remember 2 dogs that our neighbour had, my dad pleaded with the neighbour to keep his dogs from wondering at night as we had lambs on our property, this request went unheeded and sure enough one morning we awoke to a massacre there where lambs ripped appart, the ones that died where the lucky ones the others had there stomachs half ripped open but where still alive. My dad grabbed his rifle and went over to the neighbours property and shot both those dogs. After the neighbour saw the damage the dogs created he did not take it any further but did pay compensation.

a western Serbian town has decided to send a man to jail over the cruel killing of a neighbor's dog. this shows moral & political maturity of Serbia. This is more than western countries do, like Spain and torture of animals in their blood sports. Even brits didn't give up fox hunts until now. Cruel peoples.
