Mr.Stu 1,922 Posted March 1, 2023 I'd like to ask you guys to lend your names to this petition. Some of you have met Sandy and her GSDs. Valor's mother is one of these dogs that were killed by a supposed hunter. He was in court today trying to get early intervention on his criminal charges so they would disappear from his record in a year or so. The judge denied the request, thank goodness. Please sign the petition - it may help get this guy the sentence he deserves. https://chng.it/jnQJXgbgjf 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gleninjersey 2,141 Posted September 25, 2023 He got off easy. What he did was disgusting. NOBODY would mistake those animals for coyotes. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DirtyDigz 1,812 Posted September 25, 2023 Quote ... Under the deal, Michael Konschak pleaded guilty to one count of animal cruelty and one count of interfering with an officer, both misdemeanors. Konschak entered Alford pleas, which means he disagrees with some of the alleged facts but believes he’d likely be convicted at trial. Judge Thomas Saadi sentenced Konschak to three years of probation with several conditions, including no hunting and no firearms or weapons with projectiles. Konschak also can’t have unsupervised contact with animals except his own family pet, and he can’t get any new pets. The judge ordered Konschak pay the Caviola family a total of $7,700: $4,400 for the loss of their dogs, $3,000 for a tracker used in the month-long search for them, and $300 for a psychic hired to help find them. Konschak also must make a $2,000 donation to a Danbury area animal welfare group. If he's smart he'll move out of the area. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
