An 80-year-old Florida man who left his injured dog in a dumpster has been sentenced to 20 days in prison for animal cruelty. Victor Manuel Carrion-Flores abandoned his 10-year-old Jack Russell terrier mix, which was suffering from severe head injuries, behind a business, and the dog later died from its injuries.
Carrion-Flores pleaded guilty on September 30 and admitted to leaving Max, his dog, in a dumpster behind a business but claimed he did not know how Max got injured. He also claimed that he was “too busy” to take his dog to the vet.
