Phoenix: A pit-bull was sentenced to life term imprisonment for sledging a 4-year-old boy after a judge spared it from punishment.
Judge Deborah Griffith was declaring the dog, Mickey to spend the rest of his life in a no-kill shelter run by an Arizona women’s prison. The dog had mauled 4-year-old Kevin Vicente by breaking his eye-socket and jaw. The owners were agreed to punish the dog but the animal rights activists stepped in saying that the mauling was partly due to negligence.
The babysitter was not looking after Vicente when he approached the pit-bull dog chained up in the yard. The judge justified that the chaining of the dog would have made it more aggressive and pointed out it as one of the reasons for the mauling. Negligence is the other reason that made the child to approach the chained pit-bull dog. According to the judge the factors caused the mauling are by the irresponsibility of the adults.
