$20,000 in fines for refusing to euthanize a dog
I found this interesting article of “Associated Press” on the “Timesleader.com”
It talks about a woman who is facing $600 per day in fines because her son refuses to euthanize a dog that allegedly bit a mailman.
The mother is being fined because she was caring for the dog named Slim on May 31, when it allegedly attacked the mailman. At the time, Traian Jovanov was jailed on a probation violation
The mother states “Me putting my dog to sleep is like me putting my kid to sleep. I’d pay a lifetime of fines before I’d let that happen,” said Traian Jovanov, 20, whose defiance has led to nearly $20,000 in fines for his mother, Elizabeth Jovanov.”
Slim is a 2-year-old Staffordshire terrier, a relative of the American pit bull. City health officer Mark Thompson ordered Elizabeth Jovanov to have the dog euthanized after the mailman reported being attacked. A citation Thompson filed on June 15 said the dog had attacked people without provocation twice before.
The dog was loose and off the owner’s property when it bit mailman Andrew Debalko, according to Thompson.
