A woman who allegedly threw her ex-lover’s dog out of a window has avoided going to prison. Kayleigh Smee, 33, reportedly hurled the eight-year-old Chihuahua named Prince to his death from a second-storey flat during a heated argument with her boyfriend on December 10, 2021.
The incident, described as “terrible” by the court, resulted in the dog suffering severe injuries and later having to be euthanized, according to reports from KentOnline. This case marks the first sentencing under new guidelines in the UK that have raised the maximum sentence for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal from six months to five years.
