The owner is being sued for $125,000 in restitution for false accusations against her cat
Few people know this, but the United States has very strict rules regarding the freedom of movement of pets outdoors. According to their laws, pets must be in the house or kept on a leash. Those who do not follow these simple rules can suffer negative consequences.
The animal can be confiscated or placed in a shelter, or even put to sleep if it becomes aggressive. These rules are strict, but one woman was able to challenge them in court.
The United States has filed numerous complaints against Anna Dunaley with the Animal Control Agency. She was fined a total of $30,000, which is a large sum for many people in different countries. Her cat was walking around without a leash and was untethered.
The control service believed that his animal was walking on the street and terrorizing other pets. However, the woman’s lawyers pointed out that her neighbor worked for the same service. It was he who filed the complaints against the woman using his official position.
Also, Bellevue city officials haven’t updated rules that are supposed to regulate pet walking. This unfair case lasted three years, and after this time the woman won the lawsuit and, with it, compensation in the amount of 125 thousand dollars.
This is how loopholes in the law and pets brought the simple woman an impressive amount of money.
