Из Балтимора сообщают. Prosecutors did not press charges against a jogger when he kicked and injured a poodle after it nipped at his feet. Досаднейшее упущение! A state lawmaker [Murray Levy, D] has since renewed efforts to make sure anyone who harms an animal faces misdemeanor charges. Currently, state law holds only the pet owner responsible. "The penalties would be up to $1,000 and six months in jail, and the court would have the authority to have that person have screening or counseling."
