IT WAS MASS MURDER: PRIEST HAD DOG KILLED |
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica -- A judge has convicted a priest of having a popular street dog put to death because the animal allegedly disrupted the mass.
In a televised interview Wednesday, the Rev. Carlos Artavia acknowledged having a veterinarian put the dog, Camila, to death and apologized.
A judge in Tuesday sentenced Artavia to 30 days in jail -- a penalty waived for 1,000 colons (about US$2.10) He said Artavia should have established that the dog was ill or a threat.
The dog had been popular in the poor neighborhood and was known for accompanying funeral as well as attending mass.
The dog vanishes on Jan. 24. The priest admitted having her put to death., prompting some parishoners to file a complaint.
