Couple poison their dog and confess to their neighbours: Justice reaches verdict

They say every dog should have a home…but stories like this make it clear that not every home should have a dog.

In October 2020, a Chihuahua in Normandy, France, passed away in atrocious circumstances. 

Couple tries to get rid of their dog

The little dog belonged to a couple who decided they didn’t want to deal with him anymore. So one day, the woman put anti-depressants in his food. But this wasn’t enough. So the next day, her husband took the dog to a friend’s house, where he used a mace to kill the poor thing. The dog was then buried in the forest.

Luckily, justice has caught up to the couple. When their neighbours found out about the events, they tried to secretly record the couple’s confessions - and succeeded. 

Evil acts don’t go unpunished

The man was in court on the 18th of March 2022. Though he said he was acting according to what his wife had told him to do, he will be serving 10 months in prison, and is forbidden from owning animals for the next 7 years. The woman will be getting 6 months, and is also forbidden from owning pets for 7 years.

A light punishment for the crime, we think! RIP, little Chi.
