Pair Charged for Freeing Pound Dogs

[icyfroth]

Two Queensland women could face time in prison after breaking into a pound overnight and releasing all of the dogs.

The pair, both 21, allegedly broke into the Rockhamptom Regional Council pound with the intention of cutting the padlocks on the doors holding one of the women's dogs, theDaily Mercury reported.

But instead they decided to break all the locks and set the animals free.

Senior Sergeant Neill Smith said police were notified after council officers discovered the empty cages this morning.

One of the women was taken in for questioning, which led police to the second culprit.

The pair have been charged with one count of causing wilful damage, which carries a maximum jail term of five years.

A Queensland Police spokesman could not confirm their motive for the break-in.

They are due to appear at Rockhampton Court on December 3.

It is understood the escaped dogs have been since retrieved.

Five years for letting dogs out of a council pound?

Yet Thomas Kelly killer Kieran Loveridge only got four years?

A bit different from releasing dogs who could have ended up hungry and scared strays in a hostile environment.

I hope and pray that they were rehomed and not killed at the pound.

Yes agreed, but my point was the penalty for the girls action. It could by 5 years, as against the penalty of only 4 years for the killer of Thomas Kelly.

Bit if a mixup Icy.  I was responding to Spot's comment on the book about the turtles being freed..

I agree 100% with you on the penalty issue.
