She ended up in Judge Mike’s courtroom. So, at sentencing, he decided to leave her a glimpse of what the poor dog’s life had been like under abuse and neglect.
The woman was sentenced to eight hours straight sitting in a smelly dump.
Even though the stench made her stomach ache, the judge told her she would not be allowed to leave. Although the woman was clearly not happy with the outcome of the case, Michael hoped it would make her think twice before plunging an innocent creature into such a nightmare again.
Another example of a judge’s original decision was highlighted in the case of a local woman who was found guilty of throwing kittens into the woods to fend for herself according to ABC 5.
Judge Mike decided it was appropriate to leave her alone in the woods overnight, and the judge’s intent with these sentences was not to treat anyone in a cruel or unusual way.
He wasn’t trying to hurt those people. He only wanted them to see, through a very short and limited experience, how their actions affect helpless beings. His heart for animals has earned Judge Mike notoriety and respect throughout his region.
