Man from Safed Sentenced to 22 Months for Brutal Dog Abuse
The Kiryat Shmona Magistrate’s Court sentenced Abraham, also known as Avi, Abukrat, a man in his 40s from Safed, to 22 months in prison after convicting him of aggravated animal cruelty.
According to the verdict, Abukrat lured a dog away from its owner’s home and took it to his own apartment, where he inflicted severe physical injuries and caused the animal significant suffering.
When police came to his home after a report that the dog had disappeared, he threw the dog out of a window in an attempt to remove it from the scene and obstruct the investigation.
In addition to the prison term, the court imposed suspended sentences and a fine of 5,000 shekels payable to the Fund for the Benefit of Animals.
